Product Description

Wild-caught salmon tastes out of this world grilled on an aromatic wood plank. This set of four planks, two cedar and two alder, makes an excellent gift for the outdoor chef who has any kind of gas or charcoal barbecue grill. Before use, the planks are soaked in water (to which spices may be added) for at least 20 minutes, then placed directly on a hot grill. After the planks begin to smoke and char a bit, the fish or other seafood, poultry, or meat is laid on top. If a plank begins to actually burn, a spray bottle of water can douse the flames and cooking can continue.

The planks are reusable as long as they are not too charred or cracked, in which case they can be crumbled into the grill for adding a smoky flavor or into a fireplace for a woodsy smell. To extend the life of the planks, they can be heated and just used for serving. Each plank is made in Canada of untreated, slightly rough wood and measures 15 by 7 by 3/8 inch, long enough to hold shish kabobs and large fillets of fish. In order to differentiate the two types, the cedar planks are made with rounded corners and the alder planks with square corners. Cedar is also lighter and less dense than either alder or maple. To reuse, scrub gently with warm soapy water and rinse clean. The planks are gift-wrapped with attractive color photographs, and recipes are included. --Ann Bieri

So far I have used one of each type of wood. The cedar adds a bit more flavor to fish than the alder does, however the alder seems to char less than the cedar does. Both are great for grilling your fish, I have not tried it on other types of meat. One tip though, ensure that the wood is not over any part of your flame or you will burn the plank. I soaked them for at least 4 hours prior to their use, so they were saturated. I recommend these to any grilled fish lover, it adds a very unique flavor to the fish - yum!
Great for grilling

The work great. Read the instructions on soaking the plank. Only thing is I did not receive the advertised cook book.
