Hot smoking is carried out at temperatures between 165ºF (75ºC) and 185ºF (85ºC). Unlike cold-smoking, this renders foods cooked, so that they are pretty safe to consume after the end of the smoking process. Good quality smoking, with someone keeping an eye on the process, can result in wonderful foods, moist and flavourful. Sometimes industrial hot-smoking can end in foods that are dry and chewy.
A very large, relatively sweet cooking apple with creamy white, firm, aromatic flesh. It was raised on the Isle of Wight by Mr G Wratten of Howgate Lane in Bembridge between 1915-1916 as a cross between Blenheim Orange and Newton Wonder and introduced commercially in 1932. It received the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Merit in 1929. It is a pale green to yellow apple flushed blushed and striped with brownish-red which just about keeps its shape when cooked. This late-season variety is harvested from early to mid-October in South-East England and is at its best from November to March but can become greasy.

The huchen or Danube salmon (Hucho hucho) is a species of freshwater fish in the salmon family and is severely threatened with extinction. There is now a considerable commercial effort to produce huchen fry to re-introduce the species into the wild. This requires the adults being caught just before spawning and kept in special tanks. Fry are released in appropriate places once they have reached 4 to 10 cm.
