prepared some roasted chicken breasts and a pan sauce tonight. chicken breasts are hard to cook correctly. one ended up being slightly overdone, but the other was nice and juicy. was worried that i seared the skin for too long. fortunately it was just extra crispy.

I'll try low and slow then broiler next time.

OOT cooks,

What kind of bags or containers do you use to brine a whole turkey?

Something like this, maybe bigger.

Or just a regular small cooler with ice.

I don't like the idea of a chain restaurant reselling their food packaging. Or rather buying used **** from a chain restaurant. Surely there is an established business that Firehouse is eschewing.

You need to make sure to get a food grade bucket. Not all plastic buckets are.

It says right on the label that it's "all-purpose"

This is a good question for a brief derail. If I were trying to really stretch my food dollar, and not go vegetarian, I would eat more gourds, beans, and oily fish.

Pumpkin is an underused side dish in my opinion, as are most of the firmer squashes.

Beans from scratch are really much better than canned, and not so time-consuming to prepare if you have a pressure cooker.

A lot of the oily fishes like bluefish and mackerel are quite delicious if cooked properly. (Cooked poorly, they taste fishy and metallic.)

My brine recipe is for a fairly strong brine for a shorter period - only 4 hours. I have a big enough kitchen sink that I can use. Once done, I rinse it and put it uncovered in the fridge. If doing turkey at Christmas, and the temperature is low enough, I put it in a rubbermaid cooler on my deck.

chefsteps cornbread with slight modifications (gluten free for the wife) is excellent:

firehouse donates all proceeds from bucket sales to local first responders.

I think butterballs are pre brined. As an FYI.

Made a pork tenderloin for dinner today. Did a dry rub and then loaded it with some homemade spicy BBQ sauce for the last 5 mins on the grill.
