Plank cooking is an ancient culinary method which originated with the American Indians. The longstanding tradition of cooking on a plank has evolved into a popular at-home grilling technique that adds a whole new dimension to your grilling experience. Foods roast in their own juices, keeping meats, seafood and vegetables moist and infusing them with magnificent flavors as they absorb the fragrant wood smoke. The planks must be soaked in water for at least an hour before placing them on the cooking grid. This ensures they will smolder, which produces the best smoke flavor, and it keeps them from burning up quickly during cooking.
