Are these things reusable?

Those skewers.. how do you handle them after they have been sitting on a hot grill and/or indoor broiler?

Edit: Nope, I was just hallucinating those skewers. I’ll go direct my questions about those over at the insane asylum known as sellout.woot

Those skewers hang the end outside of the grill. they do not get that hot, but they are a different woot too.

Nope. You need a real fire.

How to Plank Grill

In choosing a plank, pick only untreated cedar, alder, hickory, or maple. Here are a few other tips to ensure plank-grilling success:

* Prepare the plank by soaking it at least one hour in a bucket or cooler filled with water. This adds moisture to the wood and prevents it from burning on the grill.
* Add 1 tablespoon of salt or 1 cup of white wine, apple juice, citrus, or berry juice to the soaking water to accent wood aromas.
* If a plank is being used for the first time, season it by placing it on a preheated grill for 2 minutes, turning once. Lightly toasting the plank on both sides will intensify its smoky flavor and prevent warping. When the plank starts crackling, it's ready for cooking.
* Place marinated or ready-to-cook foods directly on the plank. Keep the grill's lid closed as much as possible to maintain temperatures and maximize smoking. Note: planked food does not have to be turned during grilling.
* Keep a spray bottle filled with water handy so flames can be extinguished if the plank starts to burn. 

After Grilling

* Remove the plank from the grill and place into a container of water.
* Rinse a used plank with soap and water and let it dry. Re-soaking for another use is optional. Store plank in a dry, clean place.
* Reuse grilling planks about two or three times. If there's wood left, you can use the plank.
* Crumble up charred planks over coals to use as smoking chips.

Or these also work great in an oven for baking the same fish and the planks last a long time.

Electric may be out, but will these work on my gas grill?

yes. They also work in the oven.

Got these last time they had them - excellent deal & much larger than you normally get for the price - good clear cedar too.

[straydog1980]

finally caught these on sale!!! Can’t wait to get them and cook some fish!

[nkroeger]

Can you use these cedar planks as cutting boards? The price would be very good for that, at $1.50 per after including shipping…

That’s OK - I live in California, so grilling season is year 'round.

Oh - does that mean that they will never arrive?

Since this is 2 for Tuesday…do you get 2 sets of 12???

One of the pictures show that these Grilling Planks come boxed in a set of 6. I can only assume that the 12 pack IS the 2-for-Tuesday total.

@howy61

yes. They also work in the oven.

I was wondering about that. Do they put out the same amount of cedar flavor without flames?

Those skewers hang the end outside of the grill. they do not get that hot, but they are a different woot too.

Make sure you put the ends ON the grill for a while to kill the bacteria, THEN hang them over the edge of the grill. It says to get the tips up to 180 degrees first to be safe.

I would think you’d need them to smoke a little wouldn’t you?

Or are cedar vapors enough?

@Tacogrande

Did anybody use the planks from a previous woot? and if so was it any good?

Yes, yes and yes! I ordered these the last time they were available, I ordered 3. Sooooo worth it! We grill all the time, and grilled salmon on a cedar planks is amazing!

@jiqueman

Does anyone know if these things are Mackerel compatible?

Is that like “dolphin friendly”?

[mastathf]

@DDorrell86

will these work on a gas grill or do you have to use charcoal?

Yes.

@NightGhost

Can these be used aboard pirate ships?

Sailor: Perchance I may have pilfered a few of your pieces of eight, Captain, but in return, I have prepared for you this fine smoked salmon - a culinary delight worthy of the most pampered monarch.

Captain: I won’t hear such language aboard me ship! Lads, have the rogue walk the plank!

Lads: But the plankee’s missin’ Cap’n! Dunno where she’s gone t’all!

edit: almost forgot: aaaarrrrgghhhhh!

They work fine on my gas grill. Here’s our favorite recipe to use with these.

They generally don’t smoke that much on the grill unless you’re stupid like me and forget to soak them first! I think the cedar just infuses into the meat with the heating process.

[kristynroe]

I soaked the plank for 30 minutes the first go around and it caught on fire frequently, so I had to stand around with a water bottle misting the edges.
I recommend soaking for at least an hour if you hope to not watch the grill constantly.
I grilled salmon and it was delicious with the cedar smoking!

[butz]

I’m in for a set. I’ve always wanted to try this.
