Dill Pickle Juice Uses

The subject came to mind from something not really food related. The other night I got a charley horse in my leg and it was awful. Drank water to no avail and nothing helped. It was 3 am and I decided to drink some pickle juice. Doing this did not sound appealing at all at that hour, but the charley horse was darn painful. Had 3 BIG swigs of the stuff. It was ice cold and so refreshing and tasty. I nearly just kept drinking it. Brand was Best Maid. The charley horse subsided within the next 10 minutes.
This led me to thinking of uses for pickle juice in cooking. I always have the juice left in the pickle jars.
I've marinated chicken in it before frying. I wasn't crazy about the green tint on the chicken nor the flavor.
I've added it to bloody marys. I've kept the juice in the jar and thrown in some onions and cucumbers which are good.
Do you use the juice for anything?

My mom drizzles a little juice on popcorn

Back when I was doing IF, I’d drink the pickle juice straight out of the jar for a little pick me up.

It neutralizes stomach acid if heartburn is bad. I’ve had to resort to it a few times in the past.

The wife uses it for leg cramps, just like you did. Works for her very quickly, just like you said.
When I cooked hamburgers at T-Willies Frostop while in high school We poured a cup or two on the grill at closing as part of cleaning the grill. IT would boil up and then as the grill deglazed, we would scrape the crud off with the spatula. Worked very well for cleaning the grill.
You can marinate very thin sliced red onions in it for an hour or two and serve them with BBQ (pulled) Pork. Tasty. The same marinated onions are good on burgers, too.
That's all I got.

I have brined chicken with it before frying. Throw in leftover pickled jalapeño juice too. I know what you mean about the green tint on the meat.
Like others said, it works as a great brine for quick picking stuff like red onions.

Good uses for leftover pickle juice.

Some athletes sip pickle juice or even commercial drinks that include it as a cramp preventive.
But a July 2023 Washington Post "Ask a Doctor" column suggests that a quick shot of the juice is really how to treat a cramp. It's the reaction of the body to the jolt of the juice on the back of the throat rather than metabolizing it that does the trick.
It's behind a paywall, but you may be able to access it. Headline: "How to get rid of leg cramps? Try pickle juice."

For cramping, athletes have long sworn by pickle juice (strained from jars of dill or kosher pickles) and other acidic substances such as mustard or apple cider vinegar. Experimental data in healthy college-aged men suggests that pickle juice inhibits muscle cramps through a reflex involving a nerve in our throats. It’s why a tablespoon of pickle brine hitting the back of the throat seemed to bring relief within seconds.
Pickle juice may also work for cramps that aren’t induced by exercise. A randomized controlled trial published last year found that a sip of pickle juice reduced muscle cramp intensity in patients with cirrhosis.
Researchers believe this improvement is due to a similar reflex that occurs almost immediately, rather than by how pickle juice is metabolized by the gut.

I use pickle and/or jalepeno juice in my hush puppies. Occasionally, I'll also use it as the binder on the fish.
It can replace vinegar in pretty much any recipe or other use since that's all it really is. My wife hates the smell of regular vinegar, but loves pickles so I use it in a lot of stuff.

1 part pickle juice 1 part vodka

I have been mixing it in with my scrambled eggs lately and I think it is really good, even ms GT that looked at me funny when she saw what I was doing. I cook eggs every morning and I get bored so I start looking in the fridge for random things to toss in.
I even went as far as to sauté some dill relish before dumping some scrambled eggs in the pan. While tasty the reaction of the relish in the hot oil was sorta like some jumping beans with them popping out of the skillet

Pickle Martinis are really good. McClure's Spicy Dill Pickles juice works best. 1oz Vodka to 1oz Pickle juice, shake and serve!

Freeze it in popsicle or cube form.
Keep it and throw sliced cucumbers in it to make more pickles.

I toss my fish with pickle juice, yellow mustard, and Louisiana Hot Sauce before I run them through seasoned corn flour to fry. It gives the fish a little tang.

My mom puts pickle juice in the potato salad. I learned why I like hers so much

Tried this for breakfast today. Had an extra thigh last night so I put some Tony’s on it with some pickle juice in the bag to sous vide. I have a chamber vac so liquid in the bag is easy, if you dont have you can freeze the pickle juice first then vac seal as normal. I dumped some of the bag juice into my scrambled eggs this morning. Browned thigh in some butter then wilted some green onion then dropped eggs. The butter had browned by this time as well.

Thousands of people swear by it's use as an insect repellent. If you drink it, the mosquitos and gnats won't bother you, they say.
