hi matt… nice video! i liked your mini rolls of varying wheat % the other day!
thanks! the nerdiness will continue…
Very helpful
Wow, your husband is such a cutie! You guys really are the perfect couple
A little on topic, thanks for the video. I have never brined meat before.
Very informative… thanks Matt. One question remains. Do you add salt again when you cook the meat? By the way, don’t be afraid of the nutmeg. Just go with the flow.
I agree with Ally. You guys are like Barbie and Ken.
you should do a video together, i would love to see how you guys interact. is that weird?
That was awesome!! You guys should have your own show on Food Network
Yaz,
Glad you asked, and I meant to address that in the video. When I brine something, I do not salt it before cooking.
Here’s another dilemma: normally you’d want your meat to be at room temp before cooking, but if you take it out of the brine, it will lose some of its juice. The alternative would be to bring the whole brining liquid plus the meat inside to room temperature, but this would take too long. So I end up breaking the rules here and take the meat out of the cold brine 3 minutes before cooking and just go with it.
Kelly T,
I’d love to do a video together but we’d need someone else to man the camera! And filming food preparation is harder than you’d think, so I don’t know if I’d trust just anyone.
Ha, the food nerds make the best husbands; mine is one, too. He’s not a baker
, but he is a brining fool. And yep, don’t add more salt. We made that mistake the first time we brined a pork loin. It tasted like a salt lick!
You both truly inspire me everyday with new ideas on cooking! Thank you so much. You have been a great resource.
PS Kath your husband is so sweet. I see why you married him.
This reminds me of the Salty Ham Kids in the Hall sketch.
I brined my whole chicken 2 weeks ago. This was a great way to marinate meat. I will do this to my chicken each time.
