Have you tried grilling planks from Stop-N-Shop?

OMG!! They had the Grilling Planks at Stop-n-shop on Thursday when I went grocery shopping. I have never even heard of them before PC. I wonder if they copied or were they around before we had them?

Been aroundThey have been around. I know many grilling professionals that use them reguarly with salmon, steaks, burgers, etc on the grill. My director would order them on the internet for her husband and now she said she can use these!!

I won't tell my guests this, but you can use plain untreated cedar planks to grill on. I have been doing this for years after going to Mackinaw Island and having fish grilled on cedar. Have to make sure they are untreated, no wierd chemicals, etc, but they are dirt cheap. I laughed when I saw the planks and the price.

I haven't mentioned them at my shows yet, and so far no one has asked me about them. I try to be honest with my guests when they ask my opinion on our products.

Just my opinion. If you all can sell these, more power to you! At $18 a pop, they could add up.

I, too, struggle a bit with something at this price that's not reusable. I've only been asked about them once. My answer was, "I've not used them. I understand that they work very well and add a wonderful flavor to whatever you're grilling. I do want to make sure you notice, though, that they are not reusable."

I am really not familiar with them and they really don't excite me much. What do they actually do anyway?

My experience is with cedar and it imparts a nice "taste" to whatever you grill on it. I don't eat red meat, so don't cook that, but I have used cedar planks with fish.
