I've seen that some of you brine meat but this is a first attempt.
I am making 'Maple-Brined Pork Loin' and the brine consists of water, salt, maple syrup, garlic and dried rosemary. It is sitting in my fridge atm and has to soak for 10 + hours. Will the meat be very salty when it is done? Any comments or advice would be very welcome. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

The brine has one quart of water and 1/4 cup salt. A question, should I pierce the meat to allow the brine to permeate it? > Be sure to post the results. It sounds good. Thanks, I will ![]() maple syrup and mustard. I like the sound of that too ![]() -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

The meat needs to be dry for it to get any color from your cooking method. Janet US |

The recipe says it needs to be browned on all sides before it is put into the oven too. -- http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/shop/ |

For roasted pork loin I'd use a marinade not a brine... I don't think I'd like a peck o' pickled pork... and maple with rosemary sounds awful; the war of the trees... sugar maple vs pinesol. I marinate pork cuts very often, I mostly prepare an oriental marinade, so I get some salt from soy sauce but mostly I rely on fruit juice sugars and acetics like orange juice and/or wine and some vinegar... for more intense flavor add garlic and toasted sesame oil. If you don't want oriental simply marinate your pork loin in your favorite bottled Italian salad dressing. Place the meat in a zip-loc with the marinade (only need about a cup of marinade this way for a five pound loin) and refrigerate for up to two days with occasional flipping... place in a bowl in case of leakage. It's better to marinate a boned pork loin, on the bone I think a rub works best, Penzeys Adobo is perfect for pork. |

It's impossible to answer as you gave no amounts of anything. I assume you used something reasonably balanced though? -- |

I would certainly not pierce the meat, or rinse it for that matter. I'd just pat it dry after removing from the brine and cook as your recipe calls for. It would require multiple days to make the meat very salty, so this should not be a problem, though it does depend a bit on how thick the cut is. If it's a big piece of loin it should be fine, if it's been cut into "chops" then you might be over doing the salt if you keep it in there much longer. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, VA |

If you left it in for 4 or 5 days you might be over doing it, but 2 days is OK. Bill Ranck Blacksburg, VA |

Ask how to make Middle Eastern Ful sometime! Get specific and ask what bean they use in Turkey to make Kuru Fasulye (koo-ROO' fahs-SOOL'-yeah) and you won't get a straight answer, it's a specific "bean" that they know by sight but can't tell you the name and it's not fava. After much internet hunting, I concluded that the bean they use is called "dermason" - based solely on the fact that it's grown in Turkey. Back on your topic. My rule of thumb is: Poultry and lamb are marinaded, pork is wet brined (I don't wet brine, but I refrain from cooking it to death) and beef is dry brined. I season my meat well, but it doesn't spend any time "brining". You could call it a dry rub, but it doesn't contain sugar and I don't rub it on. It's just the combination of seasonings I want, sprinkled on the meat. Dry brine for beef http://www.onecraftykitchen.com/how-...rine-beef.html Wet brine for pork http://www.realsimple.com/food-recip...s/brine-recipe Hawaiian Marinade for chicken (lots of variations for this one) http://www.bestrecipesevar.com/hawaiian-bbq/ More marinade recipes here http://www.chow.com/recipes/10923-oregano-marinade -- A kitchen without a cook is just a room |
