Barbecue neophytes and brining are a little like teenagers and sex: the minute they learn how to do it, nothing else seems to matter. Brining may seem like a relatively modern technique, but its centuries, if not millennia, old. In fact, thats the origin of the English word picklepockel was the Old English word for brine. Brining has the dual advantages of keeping intrinsically dry foods, like pork chops and chicken breasts, moist on the grill, and it also adds an extra layer of flavor. In this show youll learn all about brining and marinating, including a wine-brined butterflied leg of lamb, bourbon-brined pork chops, and a brine you actually inject into a turkey with a hypodermic needle. |
