Know before you buy
Yes, soaking the planks for at least one to two hours in water is essential. This prevents the wood from catching fire immediately and allows it to produce the necessary smoke to flavor your food.
No, these planks are designed for single-use only. Once the wood has been charred and infused with food juices, it should be discarded to ensure food safety and optimal flavor.
Absolutely. These planks are safe for oven use and work well for roasting fish, vegetables, or meats. Just be sure to place the plank on a baking sheet to catch any drips or debris.
Alder wood provides a mild, slightly sweet, and delicate smoke flavor. It is a classic choice for salmon and other seafood, but it also pairs beautifully with poultry, pork, and vegetables.
Flare-ups are common when grilling with wood. Keep a spray bottle filled with water nearby to lightly mist the edges of the plank if they begin to ignite, and always keep the grill lid closed to manage oxygen levels.
