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.
After pre-heating your grill, either gas, charcoal or even wood, you place the plank with the food on it directly on your grill grate. Ideally you want it over moderately high heat but not over open flames. You don't want the cedar to catch fire. Cover the barbecue to retain heat and smoke to flavor your food.
