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.
Make your own grilling planks â instead of buying gourmet specialty versions â and enjoy the smoky taste they give to the foods you grill. Choose your wood. Grilling planks can be made from all types of wood, including cedar, alder, hickory, and â on the sweeter side â maple. For the most natural smoky taste, find western red cedar. Fish and chicken usually taste best with woods like cedar or alder, while pork is complemented by sweeter woods, such as apple or maple.
