Today around 2:00 or so I set 2 big pork loins in a vat if brine for the night. Gonna lite them ride for about 24 hours and then pop them in the oven to roast.

Brine was:
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup salt
1/3 cup Tony's
2 chopped sprigs of rosemary
10 split cloves of garlic
Dissolved down in hot water and then added enough ice cold water to make a gallon of brine

This is my 1st run at Brine'n anything. Anyone have any experience with that?

Any advice on the cooking process or should I just cook it like a regular roast?

Going to brine a whole chicken starting Thursday at noon to cook for a Friday dinner,.... Any tips on that?

It's not necessary to brine chicken that long. 8 hours tops.

I'm not real good at taking pics and this was just taken with my phone so it's not a great picture but the loin came out fantastic! It was super moist, despite the picture not reflecting that much. And the flavor explosion was great.

I will never cook another loin without soaking it in brine. I can't wait to do the chicken...

Thanks for all the pointers gang.
