How do Seasoning Stix work? Seasoning Stix are encapsulated seasonings and spices in a stick form that can be inserted into meat, fish, poultry, and vegetables. Seasoning Stix remain a hard solid stix at room temperature, but as heat is applied during the cooking process, the stixs breakdown from a solid at a selected temperature allowing the fibers of the meat to absorb the seasonings and spices - seasoning from the inside out!
