Jason Upton ,[p]I've done some pre-egg that I brined and cooked in the oven that came out great. Followed Alton Brown's brine recipe. Not certain if I will for my first egg breast this week.

Jason Upton ,[p]I brine turkey breasts for about six hours after I debone then per thirdeye. Works for me.[p]I use 1/3c brown sugar, 1/3 c kosher salt dissolved into 2 quarts of water. Cool to 40F or less before use.[p]hth[p]Big T

Jason Upton ,[p]Pork, chicken, turkey, pieces, whole, beast, legs, toes; brine them all.[p]All we are doing through brining, is causing a state change in the cells so that they will draw and hold more water than before. As the meat cooks, the heated proteins will begin to draw in tighter and squeeze out water, but, hopefully, enough water will remain to produce a juicy, tender piece of meat.[p]Go for it.
