Here's a photo outline of a recipe procedure for cooking in your kitchen oven with your oval planks.
I DO NOT suggest that you soak the planks when using them in the oven. BBQ, yes, soak them,
But when cooking in the oven we think the flavor of the wood will come out more easily if the wood is dry.
Our Oval Planks are certified pest free and kiln dried for 90 minutes at 160 degrees.
The kindling point of wood seems to vary with the species with a range of temp being from about
380 to 870 degrees fahrenheit. Even at 450 I have not experienced any flames in the oven but please
be safe and pay attention to your own technique and temperatures.
These photos have a "Buy" button on them and that is for those who wish to use the photography and will not take you to a place where you can order our planks. To buy our planks, please follow this link to Rockytrail.com
Here's what we did - Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees.
The first photo shows two 5x10" White Cedar Natural Oval Cooking Planks on a foil lined cookie sheet:
Add some Olive oil to the plank surface:
Then add some thinly sliced onions, some salt and pepper to the plank surface.
Please be creative (and let us know how your do!) by using peppers instead or?
Time to add the meat. We chose a nice Salmon Steak and some Beef Short Ribs.
Along with a little more salt & pepper we added sliced lemon and squeezed some
lemon juice on the fish and we put some minced garlic on the beef:
Here are a couple more pictures before the food went into the oven:
Here's a shot after 20 minutes at 350 degrees:
We then turned up the temp to 450 for another 20 minutes
and the food looked like this:
Cutting both the Salmon and the Beef Short Ribs open
we found that after 40 minutes the Salmon was possibly slightly overcooked
while the beef was rare to medium rare:
We also prepared some rice and steamed broccoli. We like to brown white rice in a hot
pot with onions and olive oil before adding broth.
The house smelled marvelous to be sure.
A beautiful mix of the different meats along with a smokey fireplace smell from the wood. A very homey, happy holiday aroma.
What would we do different next time? Well, my Mom suggested that we start the
beef ribs 15 minutes ahead of the Salmon - that's smart! ;-)
Serve the Salmon and Ribs right on the planks and onto a plate!
Or Place the planks onto a platter and in the center of the table for an
Impressive dinner party display.
Garnish with your favorite greens and colors.
These Natural Oval Planks are a great new idea for your Holiday Oven Cooking
and they make GREAT GIFTS!
We have many different wood flavors available
We also have Sampler Gift Packs available.

Natural Oval Cooking Planks and Pork Tenderloins on the BBQ
Foodies! You gotta try this on your barbeque this summer!
$12.99 for 8 Oval Planks - your choice of 10 wood flavors. We used Wild Apple for the Pork tenderloins:
Wild Apple Natural Oval Cooking Planks 4x6
Soak the planks for 2 hrs or so in some liquid. Could be water, beer, apple juice, wine or? Experiment!
Ingredients: Pork tenderloins, Salt, Pepper, Chopped Garlic, White Onions. GarnishCut your tenderloins into 2-3" thick slices.
Put some olive oil and thinly sliced onions onto one side of the plank & then center the tenderloin medalions onto the oval plank.
Add salt, pepper, garlic and some more sliced onions and olive oil on top.
Put the planks onto a cookie sheet.
Prepare a HOT BBQ with a lid that closes.
Place the cookie sheet of prepared planks right on the hot grill and close the top.
To get a real nice smokey wood flavor happening, add Wild Apple Chunks to the Grill top. These will burn up while you're cooking and share their wonderful smoke with the food you're cooking.
Cooking time completely depends on the thickness of the pork and the temp. of the fire. We cooked at near 500 degrees for 20 minutes or so but you'll need to experiment with your BBQ and remove them when they are cooked and still moist. Soaking the planks helps in creating a steam inside the BBQ which will help keep anything your cooking from drying out. Go try it! Amaze your friends and neighbors with your chefly abilities!

How to use our Smoking Woods and Cooking Planks
Grilling with wood may just be the easiest way to becoming
a "gourmet" chef since man first tasted meat cooked
with fire.
Cooking with wood brings back that unmistakable flavor of
the wild open range, a deep woods campsite or fire pit at the
shore. It is a fun and flavorful first step to a great dining
and entertaining experience.
* Wood chips and chunks flavor
your food with smoke.
* Traditional rectangle planks
do that as well but as the plank burns the flames lap at the
meat which can add a wonderful crispy edge to the salmon or whatever
you're cooking.
* Natural oval planks add flavor
with smoke & flame the same way a rectangle plank does but
because the oval's are cut through the center of the tree the
moisture, and sap that goes out the ends of a rectangle plank,
come up through the center of an oval plank coming in contact
directly with the food. This adds another flavor beyond the wonderful
smoke.
* Natural oval and rectangle
planks can be used on a gas or propane grill or even in the oven
or broiler! They're not just for summer! You can cook a holiday
feast on planks in the oven any time of the year.
