Total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) is most frequently used along with a serum iron test to evaluate people suspected of having either iron deficiency or iron overload. These two tests are used to calculate the transferrin saturation, a more useful indicator of iron status than just iron or TIBC alone.
As cedar plank cooking is becoming more and more popular I am often asked if you can you reuse cedar planks? The correct answer is both yes and no. All TrueFireÂ® cedar planks are meant made to be one time use only â we have optimized the thickness of our planks to infuse the best flavor into the food without increasing the cook time. The general rule of thumb is the thicker the plank the longer the cook time.
How to Prepare a Cedar Plank for Grilling. 1  Once you have purchased your grilling plank and are ready to use it, rinse it off under warm water to remove dust and residue. 2  Next, fill your kitchen sink half full of water. Submerge the cedar plank all the way into the water. 3  Soak the plank in the water for at least 1 hour. After the cedar plank has soaked for the appropriate amount of time, and once you are ready to grill your salmon, place the plank on a pre-heated grill for 5 minutes, or until it begins to smoke and crackle. Your cedar plank is now ready for grilling.
