25 Essentials: Techniques for Planking

Plank cooking is the simplest way to infuse food with a subtle aroma and flavor of smoke. 25 Essentials: Techniques for Planking is all you need to start.

The cooking technique simply called planking has already taken the Pacific Northwest by storm and has been getting a major foothold in high-end restaurants nationwide. However, unlike grilling and smoking, planking is an indirect grilling method which gives rise to unique difficulties.

You don't need a fancy rig, special equipment, or complicated directions to start planking. All you really need is a board and 25 Essentials: Techniques for Planking to ensure that your favourite meats are cooked to perfection and infused with just the right amount of smokey aroma and flavour.

With this easy-to-follow manual, you will learn to plank-roasting fish, poultry, pork, and much more. A few of the temping recipes you'll find here include:
