  • Yes, simply microwave in the brine for about 45 minutes for a delicious steamed effect. I like to finish it off in the clothes dryer on low to remove any excess water before serving.

  • This is freaking awesome! I'm going to add Sierra Nevada Ale to my brine, with apple juice and fresh ground garlic

    I have brined for years. Finally found The Briner, you should check it out. The ultimate brine container, comes with instructions and recipes and tells you how much brine, how to make it, how long to soak it, etc. It works great, is easy to use. No more bags, coolers or contractors buckets. Get The Briner! you'll easily find it on line.

  • And yet ANOTHER video which does NOT inform you of the AMOUNTS of ingredients ( salt and water ) needed for the recipe. Video pollution, waste of bits, bytes and time.

  • I will also use by boot dryer to make sure the Turkey is dried out prior to Roasting. Simple put well patted dry Turkey on the Boot dryer(Rear end first). Let the Turkey sit for about 15 seconds per lb. The Turkey is now ready for the roaster or Deep Fryer! Enjoy!

  • how much salt biatch

  • Water, apple juice, salt, brown sugar, roasted garlic, fresh pepper, thyme, rosemary and fresh lemon or lime juice!

    Also your favorite ale or bourbon!

  • Ah ya man, das' rite!

  • Possum tastes like cardboard? Howdy? ah can honestly say ah have nevah EVERY cooked a possum thet tasted even remotely like cardboard - o' ennythin' else distasteful, ah reckon. It is all about prepareeshun, seasonin', an' right cookin'. Fo' possum t'taste like cardboard, one muss not season it at all, not add enny moisture, an' finally yo' then on over cook th' crap outta it. Ennyone thet igno'ant doesnt desarve enny he'p o' suggesshuns other than t'larn how t'cook.

  • I used 4 bottles of Sierra Nevada and a 2 each half gallons of Apple juice. I also added 1 1/2 cups Mortons Kosher Salt. Turkey must be totally submerged. Let me know how it turns out!

  • how much beer & apple juice did you add to the brine? I have another turkey in the freezer & would like to try you version next week. thanks
