Brine bag question?

[TestRocket]

I checked two Wally worlds and Kroger's today and this is all I can find to brine my turkey in.

Does anyone know if this oven bag can do the job?

Those bags are real flimsy, I doubt that they would hold up.

[TestRocket]

Yea! I was worried about that. The only pot I have that is big enough is an aluminum one and I know not to just it. I'll just have to keep looking.

Stop by one of the local restaurants or fast food joints and ask them for a pickle bucket or a pickled herring bucket. Heck just a food safe bucket with a lid. I have also used the hefty 2.5 gallon zip bags.

Not sure how much time you've got to work with, but maybe expidited shipping on these, they work great!

I didn't see if they was food safe Kevin. Are they?

I've been using them for years now, if not I'll be dead soon.  ;D

It only says that they aren't microwave safe, so as long as he dosn't nuke it, it should be fine.

They are pretty flimsy but I have used them for both whole turkeys and turkey breast. I will put the bird in the bag, set in a cooler, pour in the brine, zip tie the bag shut then cover with ice. So far so good.

Kevin, I did see those 4X bags at Wally world but because of the items shown in the bags (balls and stuff) didn't think they would be food safe. Maybe I should have read the box? I'll go back tomorrow and see.

If it worked for you...It's just my in-laws anyway.  :o

I'm double checking the website now, a little slow cause I'm on dialup, but www.ziploc.com

They're food safe.  Made from exactly the same stuff as the other Ziploc brand bags.

I got 'em at the local Target, but that was a year ago.
