When brining, salt (and sometimes sugar and curing salt) penetrates into the meat before cooking. This has multiple desired effects: • JUICIER PRODUCE: Brining before cooking makes meat, poultry, fish and seafood juicier. Even after cooking is finished, the brined food will retain more moisture. • FLAVOUR: The brining mixture slowly enters the produce through osmosis. During the cooking process, it becomes evenly distributed throughout the produce and enhances ist taste! • SURFACE TEXTURE: You're aiming for a beautifully brown and flavourful bark? Brining, especially dry brining, will help you! Through the high salt concentration, the outer protein layer partially brakes down, encouraging a quicker Maillard reaction. Wonderful flavours and a bite to match! All the brining knowledge you need - summarized in one compact app with custom calculators. DOWNLOAD "Brine!" NOW! App content in English only.
