Briner Bucket for Turkey

[Skip]

Does anyone have one of these Briner Buckets for brining their Thanksgiving Turkey? Do they really work? I struggle with plastic bags that can easily get holes poked in them by sharp bones.

I have one, but I don’t brine a lot. If you want it for a turkey you probably should get the large. They are nice for keeping the meat submerged.

Have you used large ziplock bags? https://www.amazon.com/Ziploc-Big-Ba...%3D%3D&sr=8-11

I tried one one year and it worked great. No clean-up when done.

When I wet brine s turkey (not often lately) I use my Igloo cooler with large brining bags. Like these

Brine in the bag with the bird. Fill the cooler with ice, lid on—done.

I have the 8qt for chicken and I bought a food grade 5gallon bucket for my turkey

+1 on food grade buckets (Lowes/Home Depot) I also have a couple of the 2 gallon buckets.

We use these along with a 5 gallon bucket from HD/Lowes. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have used the large Ziplocs numerous times. They are quite a bit thicker than the regular ones, though I can see being worried about turkey bones poking holes.

I use a five gallon food grade plastic pail, most restaurants will be happy to give you an empty one. Just make sure it's food grade

Nah, I use a 5-gallon bucket with the lid. cheaper and they work just as well. I got mine from Uline, just because we have an account with them, but you can buy them almost anywhere.

I also use them for pastrami too.

Ive always used bags as I have no place in my fridge that I can fit a bucket!

Dry brine is much easier and works just as well.

I usually wet brine my turkeys in the winter (when it's cold outside) in a 5 gallon picnic cooler (think Gatorade-style) filled with water, salt, and ice, which I leave outside. I've never used a liner bag, but I do scrub it pretty thoroughly afterwards.

I use these. $1.50 per bag and I can use 5 gallon bucket of choice, doesn't have to be food grade since you're using the bag:

I just use a clean cooler. I would be interested in your review though.

These things are bad ass, keeps everything held down. I love them.

I am a +1 on the briner buckets. I keep it cool using a cooler and ice as I don't have enough room in the fridge for a bucket. I have yet to find a cooler where I can close the lid on the bucket so with leaving the lid open have to monitor for ice on a regular basis.

That looks pretty cool.
