Know before you buy
Yes, soaking is essential. It prevents the wood from catching fire immediately and creates the steam necessary to infuse your food with flavor and keep it moist.
You can reuse each plank two to three times, but keep in mind that the wood will absorb the flavors of whatever you previously cooked. It is best to stick to similar flavor profiles, such as using the same plank for multiple salmon fillets.
Alder is a mild, versatile hardwood that provides a subtle, sweet, and smoky flavor. It is less intense than hickory or mesquite, making it an ideal choice for delicate proteins like salmon and seafood.
Absolutely. These planks work perfectly on both gas and charcoal grills. Just ensure your grill is preheated and you place the plank over indirect heat to avoid flare-ups.
After grilling, gently scrape off any food residue and rinse the plank with warm water. Do not use soap, as the wood will absorb the chemicals, and allow the plank to air dry completely before storing it.
