I wonder if you can bake on wood.
It sounds like something that would be gourmet as fuck if you cooked it with special wood.
Never done it, never thought of doing it. But, my thoughts now...
I'd use the mildest hardwood possible, as far as flavor goes.
So probably alder or maybe a white oak? I'm just thinking in
terms of smoking woods. Alder is pretty mild and oak is somewhat
neutral. I know you wouldn't be catching these woods on fire [we hope, lol]
but I'm guessing they'd run a small chance of imparting their flavors
into/onto whatever you'd be cooking on them.
I've always been freaked out by people that smoke salmon on those
cedar planks. Gaaah, it just doesn't compute for me! But, tons of people
do it with no complaint so... Rock out with your lox out.
