For a better grilling experience, try using cedar plank for your grilling
fish recipe to add extraordinary taste and flavor to your grilled fish recipes.
Making use of these will move your grilling experience to the next level.
Using a wooden plank for grilling fish recipes is fantastic since it allows
you to have a great steady surface to hold, whatever food you are grilling, not
just fish, and together giving you the smoked flavor that you want for your
grilling fish recipe.
First, you will have to have a piece of wood, like an inch thick, which has
not been impregnated or treated with chemicals. The food that you are
going to grill for your grilling fish recipe should be fitted on the plank
totally; make sure that the plank that you are going to use is wide and long
enough so that there will be plenty of space and the food will not be
overcrowded. Cedar, packed with smoky flavors, is probably the best type of wood
for grilling fish recipes but still, you can use other kinds of wood which are
also good but not perhaps as great as Cedar. Alder and maple are often used too.
Cedar wood planks can be purchased online at online stores that sell grill-ready
planks or you can go to your local gourmet grilling store.
Because this kind of wood, Cedar, is not treated, before using it, you must
clean and soak it very well or else the fish or other food that you are grilling
for your grilling fish recipe could catch fire and get burned and ruin the
meal. Before using it, soak the wood plank, for an hour or more, in water to get
it thoroughly wet until it is safe to use. There are times when the
wood plank you use will catch fire; do not panic, all you have to do is sprinkle
a little water until you get the fire out. Or, you can keep a water sprayer
beside you in case this happens. In addition, soaking the wood plank before
using it will help keep the food that you are grilling to stay tender and
juicy.
If ever you see you a plank smoldering and smoking, you do not have to panic,
it only means that the wood plank is passing on the additional flavor to the
food that you are grilling, fish for instance.
To keep the food from sticking onto to the plank, use a little cooking oil
and brush it up and down on the plank. Also, you do not have to flip the food
over again and again in order to cook the food well because the heat that the
plank produces is indirect. Moreover, you should know that grilling fish using
cedar wood plank for your grilling fish recipe will take more time than the
usual because of the indirect cooking. Seam the fish with butter or lemon juice
to heighten the flavor.
Remove the wood plank from your grill using oven mitts once the fish is ready
and place it somewhere safe. To cool the fish a little before serving your fish
recipe to your visitors, use a fireproof or sheet serving platter.
So you can see how easy it is to become an accomplished grilling chef by
