Maple-Brined Pork Loin

[philandjoelle]

It would be nice if you actually gave the amounts of maple syrop, sugar, etc...for the brine

[locoforCOCOZ]

XD, "The juice is shiny!"

[ronzon100]

I bet if you were to smoke it after brining it would taste great

[Dooobs]

Thanks John!

Love your videos, recently made the "Burnt Caramel Chocolate Coins" which were yummy.

Last night tried brining for the first time, had a pork shoulder that I did a roast with in a wood fired oven, turned out great.

Great crackling and that smokey flavour.. Oh and so juicy!

Anyways. thanks for the videos, would love the get my hands on this cookbook you're working on. Can't wait.

Keep it up!

"Look at the juice!"

[GreatChefs]

Never tried the brine method before, but after watching this and seeing how good that pork looked I can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the helpful video!

Hey Chef John, can i replace the pork with beef? We dont have pork here.

[momoncalma]

can you cook filipino adobo? :P

[thedonmarlo]

Can anyone suggest another portion with this? Pasta? Rice? What goes well with Pork Loin?

[tassostuna]

i think that a potato puree would be nice with that and rice as you say ...

[latinhorse75]

would this brine work with chicken breast

[ronpoohm]

it doesnt get too salty if ya use the right proportions!

[MinhSa]

Chef John

Do you work in a restaurant?

or do you own one?

are you executive or sous or whatever?

[TopolinaBrasiliana]

delicious!

[chaklong]

what happens when you over-brine?? does it get really soaked and mushy etc.?

[saberj2x]

I guess.... the brine starts to overpower the meat, over salts, over everything, nothing like mushing though!

[mct0818]

not mushy, but probably salty

[chaklong]

THE JUICE IS SHINY!!!!!!!!!

[emdogg1989]

I usually don't care for pork because It always ends up really dry, but that looks so good and the sauce is REALLY what sold it to me!

[marrylu]

looks good i wanna try it.

[Gamerkid54321]

Musterd Mapple Sauce:

Musterd, Mapple/ lol

[Nitroholic]

wow, I would have thought all that salt would be taking the moisture out of the pork, not increasing it

[Kragdude]

god boy fails at trolling

[foodwishes]

God is actually made of pork.

[jreed136]

Hah!

[iamphon99]

:) lol

[u4tme2]

It's against the god's low? Who's the god? You are right though, you shouldn't eat pork that's sick. Always look for the healthy kind. BTW, some of us here actually think Chef John is a god.

[Tommy12435]

You know is comment like that, that make me wish I can go out and just barbecue a whole pig... and slowly enjoy . *GASP* Did I just break a law...

God: "hmmm... several thousands of people starving to death in Africa... hmm... I shouldn't bebother with that"

God: "What? A gunmen is on the lose? Well I do work in a mysterious way!"

God: "That guy is eating Pork!!! *gasp* I must smite him!"

[theonlyextremefan]

sooo yummy I wanna taste that!!

[meli2180]

Hey! so... you ask what's my food wish :P well i would like for you to do something greek! i love Mediterranean food!

[kbonez2]

How much of the sugar from the syrup gets absorbed by the pork during the brining process? I try to avoid sugar wherever possible (I know I know, it means I don't get to enjoy A LOT of delicious dishes) so if the pork absorbs a ton of sugar when brined I'll avoid it, unless there is a sugar free brining process.

[jay13thstep]

Awesome video as always, now I just need to find a piece of meat that looks as good a quality as the one your using!

[moonysky]

simple yet awesome! once again, you're a genius!

Hi John, you know how to make kosher for passover cakes? They are way better than regular cakes!

[Odiseyy]

"and as always, it's magnificent"

one will enjoy definitely when they have prepared it

[zephyrspromise]

"the juice is SHINING, it's so juicy" :):):)

[LucLeFou]

WE WANT SPEGHATTTIIII SAAAAUUUUUCE

[UntoldSecrets1]

my mouth is watterrrrry :(

[mooseythejuiceman]

Bravo, Chef John!

[littlemissteena]

haha... the BEANS.. you made d:

[katsygirl28]

or as my brother calls it,BEANAGE.

[maaartadella]

what meat do u rekomend for this I dont eat pork so

[physiology2007]

brining doesnt make sense when you think about the osmotic pressure. juice will leak out from the pork.

[foodwishes]

you don't cook, do you?

[katsygirl28]

Lol,I do *claps*

[PersianKhavos]

he's right, you know... The ossmotic pressure which states that liquid will "move" (diffuse) from a area with high concentration to a area with low in order to stabalize. So by putting salt on it wil soak up the water, "jucie". Why it still looks so juicy, I simply don't know ;D

[foodwishes]

please post questions on the blog

[Airave]

Lovely! Funny, tonight my tomato pasta sauce

seemed a bit sour (maybe from the salbei)

so added some soy sauce and maple syrup...

Perfect!

Always dig your vids!

[cohenandloynds]

So, this will work for beef and other things?

[RestlessZion]

could this brine work for turkey breast and lamb? i don't eat pork.

[MiSTAAAHMEK]

[WERTY123]

[GreeneyedLolo]
