The plank is easy to clean by running warm water over it and softly scrubbing.Western Red CedarWestern Red Cedar is, above all, a wood of exceptional beauty and durability. In its natural, unfinished state, it has a richly textured, tactile grain combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones ranging from light amber to deep honey brown. No man-made material can duplicate the depth of cedar's natural luster. It also remains subtly aromatic, and the characteristic fragrance of cedar adds another dimension to its universal appeal.Excellent for all types of food; especially good with fish and vegetablesKeep Steel Rods TightIt is characteristic of wood to develop fine cracks or warp when it’s heated. To counteract this, steel tightening rods have been inserted along the ends of the plank. When the plank is new before each use, tighten the rods just until snug with the adjustment tool supplied with the plank, or by using a 7/16-inch socket wrench. After the plank has been used several times the wood will settle and the rods will only need occasional adjustments to keep them snug.
