Gourmet GrillMaster Cedar Grilling Planks - Extra Long (8 Pack) - Organic Western Red Cedar Wood Planks

These planks are organic, thick (1/4") and big! (5 1/4" x 14 1/2") There are lots of planks out there, but these are the thickest and heaviest I have seen anywhere. These impart such a terrific flavor to salmon (other meats too) it is hard to cook without them now. It was raining here when I wanted to first try these on the grill, and when I discovered I could use these in the oven too, I was excited. The procedure is almost the same as for the grill.For salmon: Planks need to be soaked for several hours or better yet, overnight. I used apple cider. After patting dry and brushing with olive or other oil, (to prevent sticking) they are to be placed in a shallow roasting pan and pre heated about 15 minutes at 350 degrees. The salmon is placed on top of the plank and baked for approximately 20-30 minutes. (your oven or toaster oven may vary). I baked the salmon for 12 minutes at 400 degrees in my Breville toaster oven without excessive smoke. Soaking the planks overnight helped a lot. To prolong the life of the plank, I think the lower temperatures are best though.The best part of this is that the planks can be cleaned with water and a gentle scrub brush and reused many times! Used on a grill with indirect heat, they may also last through several meals. Not so with thinner planks. These are well worth the price! I will be buying them again.

I LOVE cedar plank grilling. At this point its just about the only way I will cook fish on the grill. It lends moisture and a subtle flavor when you cook on a plank. The wood on these planks is very high quality. My only quibble is that the width is very narrow. These boards are 5.25" which is just not quite wide enough to hold anything but the end piece of a salmon and so the fish hangs over the side. This isn't a crisis but its enough of an annoyance that in the future I will look for wider boards. Other boards I've purchased have been 6 or more inches. This probably doesn't seem like a significant difference, but to me, it is. So why four stars? Because the wood really is clean and high quality, and that's worth 4 stars. You may not cook wide food so this would be perfect for you. I cook a lot of thick and wide salmon fillets so these boards don't really work for me.

These planks are nice and long but not as wide as I would have liked. Could not find the wider planks so purchased these. They are a little rough in texture but do not pose a problem for grilling as you soak the wood in water prior to use. Imparts a nice flavor. Would recommend these planks to a friend.

We received the Gourmet GrillMaster Cedar Planks for Christmas, and, recently fired-up the grill, now that the weather has been nice. We grilled salmon fillets on the cedar planks. First we soaked the planks in cider (instead of water). Then, we cooked the salmon on the cedar planks over indirect heat. The salmon was phenomenal…incredibly tender and moist! The flavor from the cedar and the flavor from the cider were tastefully infused into the salmon. It was the most delicious salmon we have ever tasted! We will definitely buy more Gourmet GrillMaster Cedar Planks!

The package arrived in 2 days with my amazon prime. Packaging was professional with clear instructions on how to use the planks. Planks are well manufactured with all surfaces smooth and no sharp corners. Wood is Organic cedar made in the USA. I soaked the plank all day and cooked marinated salmon per instructions. The flavor was awesome! I can't wait to try other meats- maybe chicken this weekend.. For a piece of salmon 1 pound,I could have cut the plank in half and got twice the usage. Great Product!!

I purchased these cedar grilling planks to grill salmon. Fleet Farm was out of them so as soon as I got home, I went online & found a this product that had great reviews & wasn't too expensive. I'm glad I did as I wound up saving money. I highly recommend this product & will order again. I won't even waste my time in the future to purchase these @ a retail store.

I was curious about cooking salmon on a cedar plank, and I was pleasantly surprised. I had to prepare dinner on short notice so I was only able to soak the planks in water for an hour. I dressed my salmon, threw them on a plank and got to grilling. The aromas were incredible. They need to make a cologne out of smoking cedar. After 20 minutes the salmon was ready. It was literally a feast for the senses. I would highly recommend this product.

I've only tried these with salmon filets so far, but they work well - easy to use and impart a nice taste to the marinated salmon. Five stars if you could re-use these or if they were less costly.
