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. Garnish
Cut 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.

Smoking Woods Sampler

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.
