Description

Cedar planks are thin and flexible sheets of cedar wood, commonly used in cooking for smoking or presenting food, especially fish and seafood. These planks impart a smoky aroma and a characteristic mild, woody flavor, enhancing dishes in a natural and elegant way.

Origin: The use of cedar planks in cooking has its roots in the indigenous traditions of the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, where they were used to grill salmon and other fish, achieving a unique and distinctive flavor. Today, they are used in various regions for smoking techniques and gourmet presentation.

Properties: Cedar planks are heat-resistant and release essential oils during cooking, which infuse food with a natural aroma and flavor without adding chemicals or artificial ingredients. Furthermore, their ability to distribute heat evenly helps cook food uniformly.

Synonyms in Spanish (Latin America): Although the most common term is tablones de cedro, in some regions they may also be called tablillas de cedro or tablones para ahumar.
