What's the big deal about brining? I have never brined anything (except
pickles).

I called SC Johnson on Friday and confirmed that the XL and XXL Ziploc
bags ARE food safe.
So, if you need an alternate to a cooler and have the room in your
fridge, these bags are another option. I'd recommend you support the
bag with a cookie sheet.

I've been brining 12-14lb turkeys in 2.5 gal. Ziplock bags for years without
any problems.
Because the ratio of brine to turkey is much smaller than in the usual brine
container I use more salt. Rather than 1 oz table salt/quart I use 1.5
oz/quart or even 2 oz/quart.
