What kind of salt can I use for brining a turkey?!


Question: What kind of salt can I use for brining a turkey!?
I have a recipe that calls for 2 cups of kosher salt, but I only have one cup!. Will it be alright for me to use a mixture or sea salt and kosher salt!? I hope so!. I figured I'd use the sea salt in the stock and rub my turkey with the kosher salt!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
i would use a good kosher salt!. the salt grains are larger and are a lot less refined than regular table salt, so you get a much purer taste!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can use rock salt but pan-salt is another option of using salt that with the same taste capability but low in sodium content; this is good for your health and also this salt contains high in magnesium and potassium which are essential minerals!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sea salt works better for brining!.!.!.!.!.however, dont you think you are asking this a little too late for thanksgiving!? You should have been brining it yesterday and most likely already getting ready to cook it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

table salt or rock salt!. The result is the sameWww@FoodAQ@Com

probably ask someone other than the alcoholics here in beer, wine, and spirits!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sea Salt generally is large chunks of salt, so it won't work as well!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
