As opposed to dry salting, fish brining or wet-salting is performed by immersion of fish into brine, or just sprinkling it with salt without draining the moisture. To ensure long-term preservation, the solution has to contain at least 20% of salt, a process called "heavy salting" in fisheries; heavy-salted fish must be desalted in cold water or ...
Just fill a lidded bowl with your brine mixture and soak the chicken in it for at least 30 minutes. Buy a digital thermometer to avoid the stress of the guess. Use a meat thermometer to gauge when ...
To wet brine your turkey, use a ratio of ½ cup of kosher salt to ¼ cup of sugar to 2 quarts of cold water. Make sure you have enough water to completely cover the turkey in a large pot. Cover ...
Smoking, one of the oldest preservation methods, combines the effects of salting, drying, heating and smoking. Typical smoking of fish is either cold (28–32 °C) or hot (70–80 °C). Cold smoking does not cook the flesh, coagulate the proteins, inactivate food spoilage enzymes, or eliminate the food pathogens, and hence refrigerated storage ...
Common smoking styles include hot smoking, smoke roasting and cold smoking. Smoke roasting and hot smoking cook the fish while cold smoking does not. If the fish is cold smoked, it should be dried quickly to limit bacterial growth during the critical period where the fish is not yet dry. This can be achieved by drying thin slices of fish.
6 cups pickle brine (such as brine from approximately 3 jars of Bubbies pickles—use either kosher dill or bread and butter chips) 6 cups water (or more to cover turkey) 1 cup salt
