Cedar Grilling Planks
Grilling fish fillets, poultry or steaks on our natural wood planks infuses the food with a lightly smoky flavor while retaining moisture. Set of four single-use western red cedar planks. Arrange ingredients over a presoaked, preheated plank, close the grill lid and cook. Foods emerge with a pleasant smoky tang. Especially wonderful for preparing salmon. A Williams-Sonoma exclusive.

Quality planks for the price
December 31, 2012
Another wonderful WS find. These planks are the perfect size for either a round or rectangular grill. We've used them with shrimp and salmon and love the results. As mentioned by another reviewer, we were also able to reuse the boards.
Pros: Quality, Size, Design

Excellent Cedar Grilling Planks
September 21, 2012
The planks have a wonderful cedar smell/flavor for cooking fish. They are oversized in comparison to what you find in general stores. The surface is smooth and very sturdy. I will never buy any other planks...well worth the value!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Quality, Easy to Store, Size, Strength, Design, Weight

Great for Salmon and Lobster Tails
June 27, 2012
I used these planks to grill the WS Maine lobster tails I purchased, and they were wonderful! Also grilled some wild caught Copper River king salmon on them using WS Potlatch seasoning and they came out moist and flavorful. These planks are better than others I have purchased and I will order them again soon.
Pros: Easy to Use, Quality, Size

One time use, but good for charcoal addition
May 25, 2011
Bought these for my dad for his birthday, to use for grilling salmon, etc. They've been great- enhance the flavor wonderfully, and last long enough and well enough to thoroughly grill. Recommend soaking at least 3 hours, preferably overnight. Do NOT use with a mainly lemon juice based marinade- reacts oddly with cedar and leaves an unpleasantly sharp taste- some other base with a few splashes of lemon juice is OK. However, soaking in water with a few splashes of bourbon introduces an interesting depth to any marinade.
No matter what you hear, these are ONE TIME USE planks. They will NOT last longer than that, but we break up the used planks and add them to the charcoal for future fires- adds flavor to any meat!
Overall, they do exactly what they're supposed to do.
Pros: Easy to Use, Versatile
Cons: durability, one-time use

fabulous item!

When grilling salmon, we use the plank. The smoky cedar enhances the flavor of the salmon.
Good quality cedar, so it can be used several times.

Cedar Planks For Grilling Fish
August 18, 2010
I've been using these all summer to grill
Pacific salmon filets, and the subtle smoky
results have been fabulous. I prep the fish,
ahead of time, with s/p, garlic butter and
lemon zest, grill it on the smoking plank
until medium rare, and serve it with a salsa
of nectarines, fresh mint, lime juice, minced
red onion and serrano pepper. Delicious.

Great for fish
July 23, 2010
The planks are great for cooking all types of fish including shrimp. It can also be used for vegetables as well. I like using the planks rather than foil - it is easier to use, cleaner and tasier.

cedar planked salmon
July 21, 2010
Do not toss out the planks once you have used them! Just wash the planks good side, and save for your next cook-out. If they're in bad shape you can soak them in water, then place directly on the fire so they smoke and burn. Neat recycling.... and just as tasty the second time around....

Delicious Grilled Seafood!
August 20, 2009
I received a set of these grilling planks as a Christmas gift last year. I admit, I was a little skeptical. However, the planks were so easy to use and the flavor so delicious, that I will never grill fresh salmon any other way! I am on my second set of grilling planks now.

Works in Europe as well
August 8, 2009
We were served salmon on these planks when we visited friends in Boston. As Norwegians, we're pretty used to different ways of handling salmon. This was a nice experience, and we brought planks home. They're fine for seafood, and they have also worked with chicken and pork. They can definitely be used several times, as described by the Californian below.

Multiple use is fine!!
July 22, 2009
For folks who say only use these once, I say "who raised you?" :-)
Seriously, you CAN use cedar planks multiple times. First, don't cook over such a high flame that the plank is constantly on fire. That will decrease your ability to use it again.
After using the plank, let it cool so you can handle it easily. Then, wash/scrub the side of the plank that had contact with the food. It won't be perfect when you are done, but get it pretty darn clean. You can then use it again. I think the odds of a food-borne illness are low.
We ONLY cook salmon on planks, now. The variable is what "sauce" we use, with a healthy dose of pesto being our favorite.

everyone that we've had over and used the boards for grilling has loved them.
As a bonus, fish like tilapia and shrimp are much easier to cook

Great!
May 11, 2009
These are great! Just wanted to clarify that these are for one time use. There are several comments about them not holding up. They should be used once and the tossed out. No cedar planks are designed for multiple use.
