Brines

I made my own brine for at least 15 years and started getting “lazy” by using this prepared brine for the last 3 years. I have to say that this product is every bit as good as any I made myself and it’s TONS easier to use. My turkey came out so flavorful and exquisitely moist this year that I’m planning to buy it again next year. Try it and I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Pro tip: remove bird from oven when breast meat is 160 and rest for 40 mins. Enjoy!

First, this is not simply a 'throw & go' process. Turns out you need to add a few things to the brine mix that comes in the box... namely apple juice/ cider, sugar, & vinegar. I only had brown sugar, but no apple juice or cider. So, I added an extra quart of water + 2 tablespoons of orange peel (minced & dried). I also assume the vinegar was for tenderizing but I just didn't think it was necessary so I left it out. Otherwise, I followed the directions and brined a 13lb bird for 11 hours in the fridge, followed by a 3 hour dry chill after rinsing and pat drying. I then cooked it using the 'upside down' technique using a V-rack & a loaf of buttered ciabatta bread and a light dusting of poultry seasoning. It came out absolutely perfect! The skin was crispy & the meat was SO juicy and flavorful (both the white and dark... again, try the upside down thing because it really works!) and it imparted a wonderful flavor to the stuffing.

Great flavor for the turkey. The seasonings were perfect. Easy to use and clear instructions. Would buy again.

I was very satisfied with this Turkey Brine. I used this for my turkey at Thanksgiving and the flavor added was impeccable. I actually bought several brines and wend with this one from Fire & Flavor. I sure am happy that I chose it. The brine is somewhat simple but the perfect combination of seasoning. The preparation is easy. I smoked my turkey after brining it for 24 hours and the great compliments at Thanksgiving Dinner were nice :-) I highly recommend this brine seasoning kit from Fire & Flavor and will definitely use it again!

This kit includes everything you need to brine a turkey. It was easy to do, but didn't quite add as much flavor as I thought it would. Since nearly every turkey that you find at the grocery store is alreay pre brined with a salt solution, I believe is what limits the flavor that a seasoned brine can impart. If you can fine a fresh un-brined turkey then this would probably be much better. I thought about using it on chickens but have yet to do so.

This brine is the best stuff. I have used it for the past few years while smoking a turkey and it turns out great. The level of flavor that this brine produces allows the mouth the water in great flavor. It comes with an giant turkey bag to fit almost any size if turkey. We had a 28lb turkey and the brine and bag worked great. The blend of seasonings make thanksgiving or any other turkey cooking day a success.

Hands down BEST brine mix ever!!!! Save yourself some time, effort, headache, unnecessary trouble! Stock this one. I used it for turkey that I smoked. Always juicy and flavor is so remarkable!!! People will ask you what is your secret if you try this one.

We wanted to give our smoked turkey a bit more spice. This brine delivered. We appreciated the "no mess" preparation since the kit included all spices and a brine bag.

I ordered this item for 70.00$ because the description say “pack of 6” please not it’s only one brine kit.
