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.
Or you short the plank soaking time and wind up with the fish engulfed in cedar plank flames. Hopefully not more than once. But here is a great trick that my dad came up with. When you do remember to soak the plank 1 to 2 hours ahead, soak 2 (or 8 Cedar Grilling Planks, buy them here) of them. Then, after soaking, wrap the extra in heavy duty aluminum foil and throw it in the freezer.
