Well, at least you've never electroplated your turkey....

This is making the rounds on Reddit. Someone decided to brine their turkey in a metal pan using a brine of salt and orange peels.



The internet did not disappoint in the comments:

I'd go all the way and chrome that baby !!!!

Hexavalent chromium will definitely speed up the carcinogenesis process.

Bronze it and display it next to your bronzed baby shoes. (Is that still a thing?)

[Michael_in_TX]

It was at least up to the mid 1980s. My parents and aunts/uncles all bronzed my, my sisters, and all my cousins shoes. I haven't run across it in decades though.

He was absent that day in 7 th grade science class.

Just wait. During cleanup, he’ll probably use an ammonia based and chlorinated cleaner together. Extra points for who can tell why that’s not a good thing.

[gboss]

Chloramine gas isn't the best for one's health.

[texastweeter]

Ammonium chloride gas, same as used in the holocost.

[Porkies]

Well, if you need a little mustard (gas) to go with supper, maybe.

Happened to me (not nearly that bad) when dry brining a brisket in a steel steam pan. Saw 2-3 faint pinholes in the foil where it was otherwise smooth and quickly figured out what had happened. I was able to trim off the affected bit, unlike this guy

I get that it's important to have good electrolytes, but this is ridiculous.

[texastweeter]

He'll, Salt Bae serves a gold foiled tomahawk ribeye, this is just the trailer park version. Go ahead and eat it you sissy...

[Smoker_Boy]

texastweeter LMAO @ the trailer park version!
