BBQ Planks

 

OAK    CEDAR    CHERRY    BEECH

BBQ PlanksWhether for a small family summer barbecue, large barbecue party or year round barbecue cooking, BBQ Planks are an easy, fun and unbelievably tasty way of back-to-nature cooking.

BBQ Planks offer a modern method of experiencing back-to nature cooking that barbecues meat, fish, seafood, fruit, vegetables and cheese in a uniquely woody, tender and aromatic style.

This is a North American native style of cooking used for hundreds of years, they originally used local Cedar to cook salmon. We have added different woods for a wider range of woody flavours to compliment a wider range of foods.

If you are a semi-competent barbecuer then each BBQ Plank can be used over ten times or at least until it is more charcoal than wood (you will know when!). You can always recycle your used up BBQ Plank onto the next charcoal barbecue or in your open fire or fire pit.

Remember a BBQ Plank is not just for summer but can be used all year round. A great way to have summer time cooking 365 days of the year.

How to cook with your BBQ Plank

Your BBQ Plank must be pre-soaked in water for one to two hours, try experimenting with adding white wine, beer, whisky or cider with fresh herbs to the water in order to make different flavours.

Heat your Gas/Electric BBQ to a medium heat (400-425˚ F) and your charcoal BBQ according to manufacturers instructions. Put your soaked BBQ Plank onto the BBQ grill and close the lid for about two minutes or until it begins to smoke. Place your seasoned food onto the BBQ Plank and cook, if you want a deeper smoky flavour just close the lid.

Keep an eye on the BBQ Plank because if it starts to flame, spray with a little water so keep a spray bottle handy.

Once cooked use the BBQ Plank to serve your meal, but remember it will be hot.

 

It is recommended that you use different BBQ planks for different foods: one for meat and another for fish.

For cleaning, scrub your BBQ Plank using a soft bristle brush, warm water and a mild washing up liquid, never use a dishwasher or a strong detergent, rinse well, leave to dry and then put away for the next time.
