Ingredients

Planks suited for grilling are widely available, conveniently packaged, and sized to fit a standard grill.

Food cooked on a plank stays moist and tender because of the damp smoke that wafts from the wood plank.

• Alder: perfect for mild foods and a is good match for seafood–especially salmon.

• Cedar: most aromatic wood that adds a deep but gentle flavor. Works well for spicy dishes as well as pork.

• Hickory: offers an intense smoky flavor that pairs well with beef and chicken.

• Oak: has a moderate flavor that blends well with a variety of meats, poultry, and fish.

• Birch, Pine, and Poplar: avoid these as they impart a bitter flavor.

Directions

Pointers:

• Soak planks before using to help keep the meat moist.

A soaked plank produces maximum smoke and is less likely to burn. Submerge it in water for at least an hour.

• Use the soaked plank right away since the wood will start to dry out quickly.

• After placing the plank on the grill, immediately cover the grill so that smoke quickly surrounds the food.

• Food that touches the wood takes on more flavor, so arrange it on the wood plank in a single layer.

• Use oven mitts to remove the plank and place it on a heatproof serving platter. The edges of the plank may be charred and smoldering.

Have fun planking.

NYM......this is a great thing to post..........we grill on planks a lot.

BTW....salmon is great on cedar too!

We also buy a long, thicker untreated board of whatever we want to use at a lumber yard and cut it into planks.....more economical we've found!!!
