Finished Cooking Temperatures

The rule to follow is to use a cup of table salt or 11⁄2 cups kosher salt for every gallon of water.

Or, for smaller cuts of meat, 1⁄2 cup kosher salt for every quart of water.

Simply mix salt and water together. Place item to be brined in a non-reactive container or sealable plastic bag large enough to completely immerse the meat. Pour in the brine, cover, and refrigerate.

The amount of time needed to brine depends on how big the roast is. Following is a simple guideline:

Whole chicken	3–8 hours
Chicken parts	1–2 hours
Whole turkey	12–24 hours
Turkey breast	4–6 hours
Game hens	1–2 hours
Pork chops	2–6 hours
Pork tenderloin	2–6 hours
Pork loin	24 hours

It is important to thoroughly rinse and dry the meat once you remove it from the brine, so when it roasts it will be juicy, not salty.

Always check internal temperature using an instant-read thermometer.
