Brining the Thanksgiving turkey

“This year everyone is talking about brining the Thanksgiving turkey. The instructions say to "soak the turkey in a clean 5 gallon bucket". Once the turkey is in the bucket, where am I going to put it to keep the turkey cold?? I live in Hawaii! A co-worker told me she uses her beach cooler. OK, now we're getting somewhere. I use a Ziploc Big Bag to soak the turkey and covered it with a 20 pound bag of ice. Perfect!! I could easily turn the turkey to make sure all sides were evenly soaked... The turkey was great! Thanks for making a product big enough to hold a 21 lb turkey with 2 gallons of brine. Happy Thanksgiving!”

Vacuum sealing strawberries and more I wanted to use a Vacuum Freezer System since I was tired of the mess and hassle of the sucking-with-a-straw system. But the cost was so prohibitive! I found the Ziploc Vacuum Freezer system and was glad to fork over the four bucks. What a simple, convenient product! I just LOVE it. I've put up strawberries and breads and use the bags for block cheese storage in the fridge. I'll carry them with me to the beach and on outings to carry wet clothes!

Meat and poultry can marinate up to 24 hours, so when you’re ready to grill, simply take the bags from the refrigerator straight to the outdoor grill. A delicious dinner will be ready in minutes!
