Western Maple
Also known as Big Leaf or Pacific Coast Maple. Although maple sugar can be obtained from the sap of this variety it is neither as rich nor used as extensively as eastern maple to produce sugar and syrup. It is pale pinkish-brown to almost white in color; characterized by a close, fine grain, which is generally straight, (but sometimes curly grained) with a relatively coarse texture. Excellent for cheese; also wonderful with all other types of foods.

Keep Steel Rods Tight
It is characteristic of wood to develop fine cracks or warp when it’s heated. To counteract this, steel tightening rods have been inserted along the ends of the plank. When the plank is new before each use, tighten the rods just until snug with the adjustment tool supplied with the plank, or by using a 7/16-inch socket wrench. After the plank has been used several times the wood will settle and the rods will only need occasional adjustments to keep them snug.

Product Description

Discover tantalizing smoky flavors by roasting your favorite foods using Nature's Cuisine oven planks. Plank cooking works because the porous wood surface absorbs moisture at room temperature and then releases the moisture and a smoky aroma to flavor foods as they're slowly roasted in your oven. Each wood is unique- the maple grilling planks lends a sweet buttery flavor with a mild smoky layering. Plank-cooked foods are juicier, more flavorful and less susceptible to nutrient loss with a complex layering of flavors. An added benefit for health-conscious cooks: most recipes can be prepared using less fat, oil, sauces or liquids because the plank releases moisture as it cooks. Crafted in the Pacific Northwest from a solid piece of the finest quality wood, the plank also features steel tightening rods inserted into the wood to help prevent cracking and warping. It measures 17 by 7-Inch and includes recipes and a rod tightening tool. The plank is easy to clean by running warm water over it and softly scrubbing. Do not put in the dishwasher.
