Injectables?

[Jim Burgin]

What's the opinion out there about using injectables on park (butt, tenderloin)? Does it really help? what qualities does it add? Thanks

[Jerod Broussard]

If I inject anything I prefer to do butt while it is still in the cryovac. However, I once did a side by side, and I have not injected since. I could tell at times there was a little extra in there, but not worth the extra hassle for my taste buds. No one else even noticed.

The only thing I will inject now is butter seasoning deep into the breast of poultry.

Thanks Jerod,

Butter in turkey breast is da bomb.

I will go with the consensus on injecting.
I have never really noticed a difference.
On the other hand I will go against the consensus on Vacuum Marinating a pork loin.
Vacuum marinade has made me a big time pork loin fan where before I started doing it pork tenderloin was among my least favorite due to lack of flavor.
