|
|
Kosher meat is heavily salted to leech out the liquid (blood) in meat. The result is a much drier-looking piece of meat. (I've never tasted the non-kosher kind, so I have only looks to go by). Even though the salt has been rinsed off the outside, it can have a somewhat salty taste.
Question: Would brining add juiciness to kosher meat, which already has salt in it? If so, should the salt concentration in the water be reduced? enlarged? For that matter, could soaking with plain water be used to draw out some of the remaining salt in the meat? |

That's a good question - generally it's not advisable to brine kosher meats since you'll increase the salt concentration (the salt water would be higher concentration than the salt concentration in the meat). Soaking in pure water (or very lightly salted water) might help - but I really can't say if the water will be drawn into the meat. My guess is yes. |

when i make a brine i reduce the amount of water by half infuse with my aromatics by sauteeing 1st then boiling the heck out of it. Then I add the other half of water in the form of ice. This give me my flavor infusion without worrying me about Time/Temperature abuse. |

|

I am assuming that the formula for a brine has nothing to do with the size of turkey, it has everything to do with the ratio of salt to water, if this is correct then I just need to figure out how much liquid it will take to cover this 25 pound turkey then apply the 1 cup of Kosher salt to 1 gallon of water formula. Is this correct? If not please correct my thinking. Thanks |

That is correct. |

How do you determine how much brine is needed for a turkey? Mine will be on the small side, probably around 14 pounds. |

Just mix up enough to completely immerse the bird in the pot. |

So what would happen if we soaked a brined & rinsed turkey in distilled water? Would the increased salt level in the turkey cells suck in the distilled water via osmosis until we have the juicyest turkey in the history of mankind? |

|
|
can you add typical brining solution with your marinade(white wine base). my white wine marinade with cumin, garlic, pepper, etc does not add moisture. Correct? only flavor. sometime chicken seem rubbery but taste really good. would you suggest combining both mixtures? I marinade my chicken for up to 3 days. Could I do it with combo? |

You can combine both, just add some more salt to your marinade. Since you marinade for 3 days, I'd add only a little more salt to your marinade. If it's not enough, then add some more... |
