Good evaluation Stefani.

Article evaluation
The introduction of Smoking could be written better, and the theory of how smoking works should be highlighted as one of the sections. The sections of the page also could be rearranged for better flow. The section on cold smoking should mention why cold smoking shouldn’t be done at home and the inherent risks should be enumerated, linking each risk to the appropriate Wiki. Several references have non-working links and some sources do not provide relevant support to the article. In addition, most of the links come from blogs.

The talk page has minimal interaction, with the last entry added in 2016. It has some promising headings including smoking different types of foods (tofu and nuts) and smoking in different parts of the world, both of which were not added to the page. The article has been rated as B-Class, and is part of WikiProject Food and Drink. It is rated as C-Class and is of high importance in WikiProject’s quality scale. Wikipedia discusses Smoking as a method of cooking food at home and in small-scale settings, not as an industrial method of food preservation or a method to improve the flavor of foods.

Smoking

Food Packaging has insufficient citations that could be improved. The reasons for choosing certain packaging materials could also be added.

Blanching has a 'Uses' section, which could be separated into categories such as Industrial and Home Cooking. The industrial part could delve into the process and rationale of blanching foods, since it is normally used as a first step in processing vegetables (maybe mention spinach). The Talk page does not have a lot of interaction - the last being from 2011.
