How to use your Cedar Grilling Planks

Soak your wooden planks or wraps in water then use them on your gas barbeque, charcoal grill, pizza oven or in your regular oven. Place your fish, meat, veggies or cheese on top of the plank and cook. The result will be a beautiful dish that has absorbed the smoky sweetness from the natural Cedarwood. As for the taste, there’s nothing quite like it, your meat or fish has never been more succulent or tasty.

Can I use Cedar Planks in the oven?

Yes, you most definitely can. A great bonus feature – your house will end up smelling amazing. Even though there is no direct flame in your oven, you still need to soak your plank prior to cooking. The steam released during the cooking process is vital in creating that juicy, smoky flavour.

1. Preheat the pre-soaked plank in a 350-degree oven for around 5 minutes.
2. Brush a light coating of olive oil onto the cooking side of the board if desired to prevent food from sticking.
3. Place plank with food, directly on the oven rack. Position a foil-lined baking sheet on the rack below the plank to catch any drippings.
4. Plank cooking in the oven infuses a light smoky essence into food & they won’t burn as much as on a BBQ so they will be easier to clean and reused.
5. Never leave the oven unattended & be sure to keep a spray bottle of water handy to douse any flare ups.

Cooking with Cedar – Where it began

Cedar plank cooking originates from native American tribes of the Pacific Northwest who pioneered the tradition of using wooden cedar planks to grill & smoke their food gathered from hunting expeditions. They would tie fish, game & poultry to cedar planks, place them around an open flame fire to slowly cook using the indirect heat source. Once European early settlers landed on these shores, they soon discovered this unique & previously unknown style of cooking. They soon embraced & adapted it to add vegetables & their own seasonings. Today, cedar plank & cedar wrap cooking has developed into a culinary treat & is now a tradition enjoyed worldwide used by chefs & home cooks alike. Cedar adds a truly unique flavour by combining the earthiness of natural wood & smoked flavour created by indirect heat.
