I was watching the Pioneer Woman yesterday and she had a zip-type bag
that she used for brining her 20+ pound turkey. I didn't catch a name
on the bag and she called it a brining bag. There was a gracious
amount of room left over after putting her turkey and liquids in the
bag. Has anyone see these around?

I normally use one of those plastic, 5-gallon water coolers -- you
know, those large orange things. It would be nice to have a bag so
that I didn't have to slosh around bleaching the insides of the cooler
afterward. I don't use it for anything else, but I just don't like
putting it away with possible poultry icky still attached.

I saw that too. If you find out be sure and post it. I was also interested
in her putting the turkey in the oven and then bringing it out to stuff. I
am going to do that.

Given the reputation that turkeys and chickens have for salmonella, I
would bleach the cooler even if it had been in a bag.

I use a kitchen trash bag in a 5 gallon bucket or the sink. Works
fine.

A search on Google for "brining bag" found several thousand hits. I
only looked at the first page.

I wondered about that stuffing technique.. . .they just discussed it
on Food Network annual live Thanksgiving show. Alton mentioned it to
Rhee and didn't seem to have a problem with it. Nice to know.

I was thinking I wouldn't need to use the cooler if I could find a
bag. I have some containers that would fit in the fridge. When I use
the cooler it goes onto the deck overnight.

Amazon has large, x-large and xx-large bags from Ziploc Here is their
chart regarding equivalents

Ziploc® Brand Big Bags are available in three big sizes:
L equivalent to 3 Gallon (11.4L) 1.25 FT. x 1.25 FT. (38.1cm x 38.1cm)
5ct.
XL equivalent to 10 Gallon (37.8L) 2 FT. x 1.7 FT. (60cm x 51 cm) 4ct.
XXL equivalent to 20 Gallon (75.7L) 2 FT. x 2.7 FT. (60cm x 82 cm)
3ct.

No one has replied that they were able to find these in their local
stores. It's a little late to be ordering delivery.

Look for Ziploc Big Bags. There are 3 in a package. I really like that show,
down to earth cooking.

I like it too. I love to see what's going on at the ranch. I marvel
at all the large equipment he has to work that property. It's nice
that they are teaching the kids the work. As you say, down to earth
cooking and people.

I use a virgin 5 gallon paint bucket. It is food grade and washes easily.

Not being food grade you could get some off flavors.

Nope. But someone should take that lisping pile of crap known as the
"Pioneer Woman" and stuff her in one.

the problem with that is that you have a large quantity of home-made
sweets to be eaten just because it's there. Agreed, if you are going
to eat them, it is best if home made.

I would think of dry brining as dry rub with a less assertive dry rub.

Thanks! My wife also saw that episode and decided to try it this year.
I just called her at the grocery store for what to look for.

I don't even use a recipe any more, I cook to tast a lot but this one
comes very close, except I usually skip the sour cream step, though it's
very good:

http://www.camacdonald.com/lc/Cookbook/0212.html


The differences are that I make an almond meal crust with xylitol,
ground ginger and Diabetisweet brown sugar sub to approximate the ginger
snap crust I used to use.

And I add lemon juice to the batter. I usually reduce the sweetener in
the cake part and I mix a variety of sugar subs for better taste and
better sweetening.

Also, I'm careful never to overbeat the batter, it becomes to chiffony
instead of dense cheesecake.

You could add lemon juice to taste to the above recipe, add another egg
and make sure to taste for sweetness/tart.

HTH,

Susan
