BRINING
Brining leaner cuts of meat such as poultry, turkey, and
pork in a saltwater solution produces juicier roasts and
rotisserie. The difference between brined and non-brined
meats is very noticeable. If you have the time it is
definitely recommended.
The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 1½ cups
kosher salt for every gallon of water.
Or, for smaller cuts of meat, ½ cup kosher salt for every
quart of water.
Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be
brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic bag
large enough to completely immerse the meat. Pour in
the brine, cover, and refrigerate.
The amount of time needed to brine depends on how big
the roast is. Following is a simple guideline:
Whole chicken 3–8 hours
Chicken parts 1–2 hours
Whole turkey 12–24 hours
Turkey breast 4–6 hours
Game hens 1–2 hours
Pork chops 2–6 hours
Pork tenderloin 2–6 hours
Pork loin 24 hours
It is important to thoroughly rinse and dry the meat once
you remove it from the brine, so when it roasts it will be
juicy, not salty.
