Does anyone have any recipes for plank cooking, either on a bbq or in the oven?
Thanx,

Here is one for Salmon from Kraft. I haven’t tried it yet, and if I fix it I will probably soak the plank in wine overnight, as well as use wine to baste it with. Chablis works well.

Cooking Know-How
UNTREATED cedar planks, which are sold for this purpose, can be found at most specialty food stores or some grocery stores. During cooking, check periodically to make sure that the plank is not on fire. Since the plank can ignite when exposed to flames, it is best to keep a spray bottle of water close at hand if needed to extinguish any flames.
Note
Salmon can also be grilled on a sheet of foil instead of the cedar plank.

On tv a week or so here they had a man doing plank cooking. He has a cook book out all cooking on a plank.
The one that looked good to me is he had did a brie on it .I believe he soaked the plank for 1 hour and did the brie on a grill for 15 or 20. I can find the info on his book if you need.
WOW! Thanks y’all. This is a great start. Yes kellyburk, if you have the info on the book, that would be great if you could send it and kitchen witch, we do a lot of chicken, shrimp and steak, but I am open to anything. Also pelam5160, that wine soaked plank sounds good to me. I am going for salmon tomorrow.
Thanks again,
