Brine Times

I use the following guidelines for brine times.  These times are for the more concentrated boiled brines.  For the less concentrated cold brines, double the times below.

Meat                            Brine time

Whole turkey              12-24 hours

Turkey breast              4-6 hours

Pork chops                  4 hours

Whole chicken            3-4 hour

Chicken breast            4 hours

Shrimp                         30 minutes

Fish filets                     1/2 hour
