Description
Jerk seasoning is a blend of spices and herbs used to season and cook meat, particularly in Jamaican cuisine.
Technical
The chemistry of jerk seasoning involves the use of capsaicin to add heat, acidity to break down proteins, and sugar to caramelize the surface of the meat. The high temperatures and cooking times used in jerk seasoning can lead to failure modes such as over-marinating and overcooking.
