snip everything but the question

QUESTION...do
you defrost the meat before waming it , or just toss it in from the
freezer?
Haven't had the foodsaver long enough to know that one yet.

snip some more

I take them straight from the freezer to the pot of water Jack. Works
perfectly for me.

So how does brining compare to injecting, for those of you who have
done both?



Injection is nice, but I'd rather be blown. (sorry, 70's flashback)

Injection will get you where you want to be without all the fuss and muss of
brining. Garlic, honey, butter is my favorite, but only cause that's what I
tried first and ain't tried anything else.

You *gotta* have the honey in a turkey injection though. Even if you do a
shitty injecting job like I did on my first one, the intense flavor in the
injected pockets will knock you outta yer chair......it's really that good.

Seems everything comes from the market pre-brined these days. Back in the
day, brining was for the sole purpose of *not* having dry-ass, cardboard
flavored breast meat. **** it, inject.

OK, I'm thinking of wearing suspenders with my belt and brine AND inject,
I'm pretty sure I can make up some sort of honey/butter/garlic thing for
injecting, but I've never injected before, any tips on the mix, and where's?
I've read to move the injector to keep from makin pockets, and to give the
injections some time to spread out.

Thanks all. My wife likes turkey (and my bbq) so damn much, even though
we're going to my folks place she has me doing a turkey so we can have
leftovers(!). Damn, well, she puts up with my shit...........
