Wet brining mine with salt, brown sugar, pickle juice, bay, a little skoosh of liquid smoke, and calamondin citrus. It smells great.

Anyone have a recommendation on a food mill?

I've had one from MIU France for several years and I've been happy with it. It's not magic or anything, and all else being equal I'd prefer if it was slightly heavier gauge and the bearing the mechanism pivots on could be slightly better designed (it has a lip that likes to collect gunk if you'll let it---not a big deal because you can put the whole thing through the dishwasher, but whatever). The main thing I like about it is that it has folding feet to hold it over the pot or bowl or whatever. This works (for me anyway) way the gently caress better than the other bowl attachment mechanisms I've seen on food mills---telescoping, which works fine for specific bowl sizes but is poo poo for others, and the cantilever thing that looks good in theory but is bloody useless in practice.

The OXO mill has basically the same features as the MIU, but I've never used one myself---I got the MIU one before the Oxo one was on the market. But I bet it would be easier to find a story carrying to OXO mill if you wanted to handle one before buying.

A dry brine isn't a "solution" at all. It's basically just a rub-down with salt, pepper and whatever other spices you want followed by a nice long rest in the fridge

Just apply non-salt flavourings as a rub/mop before cooking. Adding them to the brine usually won't hurt, but you're not actually accomplishing anything apart from covering the surface with them anyway.

You're not getting anything out of soaking a bird in whatever brine you're using that you wouldn't get out of brining in a plain salt solution and applying the other stuff as a mop/baste. Brining is about getting water into the muscle, that's it. Salt penetration is actually pretty minimal over typical brining times, and done conventionally (bird in bucket of salt solution) wildly uneven. That's why Myhrvold, for example, offers not just one but two alternatives to traditional brining (using a very low concentration brine---like 0.5%---for much longer, or using multiple injections of the brine such that no muscle is more than a cm or two from an injection site). Kenji also touches on this briefly in the linked article if you don't have a copy of MC handy.

I mean in most cases you're not going to cause any problems by brining---apart from possibly ending up with soggier skin because it will absorb more water just like the meat will. And you're usually not going to cause any problems by adding additional poo poo to your brine. But as with marinading, it's primarily something that you're just doing to the surface, so you don't have to do it overnight or whatever versus just doing it just before cooking.

Well in the article he talks about brining with spices and different liquids, etc. He tried all of that and concluded that the flavor difference is almost entirely in the skin and you're much better off just using salt and applying the aromatics later. It makes sense to me.

I have brined hundreds and hundreds of birds, dry rubbed at least half as many, done all sorts of taste tests - just trust me I take this poo poo really seriously.

a dry rub (lol "dry brine") is fine, completely valid - but seasoning won't penetrate as deeply (we're talking a centimeter of muscle fiber or something, but also into the tissues surrounding veins and punctures) and you also won't add as much moisture to the meat. If your moisture is flavorful, this can make a difference. Not all molecules or whatever the gently caress penetrate - but poo poo like allicin (in garlic, and its decomposing byproducts), whatever compound it is in black pepper (I forget), alcohol, etc totally make it through.

the One True Way of making a juicy rear end poultry with crispy skin is to actual-brine it (length of time determined by meat thickness and weight), and let it air dry uncovered in the fridge for a day or two afterwards. dry rubs also works fine, just yields a different result.

Not all molecules or whatever the gently caress penetrate - but poo poo like allicin (in garlic, and its decomposing byproducts), whatever compound it is in black pepper (I forget), alcohol, etc totally make it through.

Assuming we're talking about reasonable brining times (e.g. around 12 hours, plus or minus) and only care about perceivable concentrations of flavour compounds, then salt won't penetrate more than a cm or so during either a wet or dry brine. The main difference is that a wet brine will result in water being introduced into the meat. Meat's a fairly complicated medium, but basically what happens is that the salt dissociates into Na+ and Cl- ions, the Cl- ions weakly bond with proteins in the muscle fibres, the concentration of Cl- ions causes the ends of the affected fibres to weakly repel each other, and this spreads them slightly. This allows water to capillary up into the tissue, and it results in a measurable increase in tenderness (that is, directly, during the brining and not just as a result of subsequent cooking). But the salt doesn't end up penetrating more than a cm or so.

That said, in both a wet and dry brine you're building up a reservoir of [whatever] on the surface of the meat. Once you add heat, transport of salt (and other flavour compounds) will increase dramatically---as in orders of magnitude. This is just basic physics and chemistry. It's how diffusion works. So although in neither a wet nor dry brine will there be much penetration during the brining, in either case you will see penetration of salt (and potentially other stuff, depending on what it is) throughout the meat once it's cooked.

Beyond that, it is also the case that most flavour compounds that you'd care about---like piperine from black pepper and the cysteine sulfoxides from aliums---are way the gently caress more soluble in fat than in water. So the fact that once you start rendering fat---on a bird, usually mostly in a layer at the surface---you necessarily start transporting more poo poo than when you're just using water, even ignoring the effect the different temperatures has on the process. Again, this is just basic chemistry, and it's just how it works.

So: wet brining itself is something that you do to affect tenderness and moistness. You can get flavours into the meat that way, but only because you're parking a bunch of poo poo on the surface that can, later, do other poo poo during the cooking. Which is why applying flavourings via a dry rub or mop is as effective at doing that. And most of the things you probably care about, flavourwise, are going to be more soluble (like an order of magnitude more soluble) in oil or fat than in water. Which is why using a mop or baste will work better for that kind of poo poo.

Brining a bird sounds like a fun thing to try. Is it worth doing it with a smaller bird, like a 3lb chicken? It's hard to buy bigger poultry round here, and I don't think me and my GF would be able to finish a 10lb turkey anyways...

I'm surprised that this is the first mention of injection brining in this discussion so far. You don't need to mess around with needles; just buy any regular meat injector like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Flavor-Injector-Stainless-Food-Facing-Professional/dp/B00HLGJR50. The tip is far too large to jab yourself with.

I smoke chicken quite a bit and injection brining works great. You get similar results compared to submerging the whole bird and it is neither messy nor a pain in the rear end. I usually combine injection brining with a somewhat generous salting of the skin (no more than you would use for roasting a chicken), then leaving it in the fridge for about 24 hours. The results have been great.

I would recommend not buying the Rachel Ray set because non-stick cookware is only going to last a few years and then you're going to have to buy new cookware again as the teflon coating starts flaking off. Ever been to a friend's house and seen their nonstick pot with holes and flaps of teflon just hanging out? That is the fate of every nonstick pan eventually. Anything you get that's stainless steel will probably last longer than you live.

Get a cheap stainless set if you need, go for a set with disc bottoms if you can find one for significantly cheaper than tri-ply/multiclads, but don't get a nonstick set.

The chefalarm has a timer and can keep track of min/max temps. The biggest functional difference would be if you need a low temp alarm, like if you're monitoring food holding or if you're worried about your sous vide machine crapping out and ruining something.

If your use case is really just, when is my food at temp, which is 99% of the time, just get the DOT. I have one, it's not cheaply made or anything, it's totally solid, it just does one single thing well.

That said, the chefalarm comes with the bigger/longer 90 degree probe instead of the little straight probe. And I ended up buying one of those anyway and like it better (extra 15 bucks or so), which almost makes up for the price difference.

I cook for me and my partner (who is trying to bulk so he eats a lot) multiple times a day and I tend to use the same small frying pan for most meals that don't involve the oven/a pot/a wok. I just bought a cheap one from Kroger a couple of months ago and it's already a piece of poo poo that fried eggs stick to in the morning, despite a generous coat of butter. I promise I am not routinely burning poo poo in it or scrubbing it with brillo pads that scratch the coat or anything. If there isn't much difference in quality, is it just using it 3 times a day that's wearing it out quick?

There are differences in quality, but you only really find much higher quality when you get into the more expensive stuff, i.e. Vollrath.

AFAIK, no cookware company makes their own Teflon, they all outsource it to third parties, which means they basically get similar market rates on all the same stuff. Some Teflon costs more than others, depending on the quality.

It's basically the more expensive the better, but also keep in mind that they all degrade eventually.

Honestly i avoid nonstick coatings whenever i can. The benefit to having it really isn't all that great compared with just using enough oil in the first place and it gives the pan/whatever an expiration date (since that coating will come off eventually, especially if you use it every day like i tend to with my pans).
