Experimenting with the grill
-
We are overloaded with vegetables… Karla stopped off at a grocery store not knowing that Finley and I had visited a Farmers Market…Plus, I had bought a salmon large enough to feed the Brady Bunch that hadn’t been separated and frozen yet…
So tonight I am testing cedarplank vs vs straight on the grill, kabobs vs grilling basket vs large chunks directly on the grill, direct vs indirect, and different temps… Hope I have enough beer…

That sounds awesome.
Pictures!

@Mik Observation #1) There was no difference in the salmon between cooking direct on the grill or the cedar plank. However, the grill was at a lower temp than I normally cook it at AND these planks don’t look as good as the ones I normally use. A point in your favor, but more testing needed…

I have never found any particular advantage or flavor from cedar planked salmon. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but if so I have no idea what it would be. I just plop the filets skin side down and don't flip them. If I want to eat the skin I cook them in cast iron inside.

Observation #2, the grill pan was fine for vegetables, but so far kabobs or large chunks directly on the grill seem to be the best for squash, tomatoes, and onions.

Yeah, the grill pan was a little disappointing in performance. I am sure I will find a use for it, but I’d rather sacrifice a veggie or two to the grill gods than sacrifice how well they taste cooking directly over the coals….
