oh... okay. I had no clue what was going on in this picture... I wasn't sure if someone encased that turkey in gelatin or if it was frozen in a block of ice or something...
This guy doesn’t even know the right way to brine a bird. If you brine it now you are going to ruin the meat when it soaks up all that water, I don’t even see any aromatics besides a few pepper corns and clove. Learn to season your meat.
I mean, I use a five gallon bucket wrapped in insulation, but this honestly works as an option. Sanitize the hell out of it before and after and it’s kind of smart.
Honestly I see no problem here. You gotta brine that bird and you gotta keep it cold and that plastic drawer can be removed and sanitized when you're done. A bit goofy to see but A+ for creativity and ingenuity. 😊
My husband brines it in a bucket and leaves it on the back porch for a couple days. It’s cold enough here around thanksgiving that it’s actually colder than the fridge outside.
I was gonna say - bold as fuck. But if for some reason you have enough room in your crisper and not enough room in the fridge to put the bird in a normal container, that might just be one resourceful mf. I certainly prefer to put it in a boiling pot or in a glass bowl, but that may not always be an option. Kudos to inginuiity as needed!
Nope. It’s a catch 22. You have to be batshit crazy to be that dedicated to cooking food that’s good AND pretty at such a high level. At the same time, anyone that crazy would be locked up in either jail or rehab. It’s a miracle that Michelin stars don’t come with a diagnosis.
You are looking at a Turkey being brined directly in the refrigerators clear drawer. A drawer that is almost always nasty as hell unless it's cleaned weekly.
Weird? Sure, but i don't really see a problem. It doesn't appear that there's anything else inside the fridge, so maybe it's a spare or outdoor fridge? Soap it up and hose it out when you're don't and you're golden.
Traditionally (in my household anyway) it usually contains vegetables or fruits. It tends to get… nasty down there and requires a bi monthly cleaning to prevent smell from dirt or whatever the produce bring into my fridge.
Brining is honestly a waste of time and resources. Dry bring or just get a quality bird and smother it with a mix of salt, pepp, butter, garlic. Spatchcock or disassemble and cook under high heat (400-450) and you’re good.
My sophomore year of undergrad there were four of us dudes living together, all engineering majors. We made chili A LOT because it was cheap, you could make a lot at once, and it didn’t really matter what you threw in there. It was a catch all.
Yeah honestly not that big of a deal. I would've pulled out the drawer below so there's one less thing to clean but so long as you plan on scrubbing everything at that level and below when you're done it seems fine to me.
It is going to be impossible to remove it from the fridge and to a preparation area without getting horrible turkey brine nasty water everywhere. Why would you fill it so full?!?!
Barf - so much possibility for cross contamination. There is a reason your local health department (likely) would not allow such storage for public consumption.
I literally need a giant bucket to fit the turkey with brine, one from like fucking home depot. Apparently I also need an empty fridge to accommodate such things. I almost approve of this if it wasn't going to leak and stink up the refrigerator
Is that in the fucking crisper drawer?
More like a soggier drawer
no that's the brining drawer
Nah, that brines shit. It's the briner.
It's the salmonella drawer
Is the slider set to turkey?
Makes the skin crispier when all’s said and done.
Marinade drawer now
That's thanksgiving at Jeffrey Dahmer's...! Come have a drink.!
I'm surprised the crisper drawer can handle that kind of weight
No it’s the brining cabinet
I had no idea what I was looking at
They're trying to marinate some crispy chicken
Mmm salmonella
was, is, now the chicken drawer.
Brining the bird.
Yeah but maybe not in a way where tossing a few glass-eyeball movie props in there would just add to the vibe...
I didnt even know a brining bag was a thing 😅.. I use my tamale steamer. It's big enough to fit the bird and brine and lid fits on it.
SURVIVE!!!
Dry brining is better, AND easier and cleaner
I never brine. I'm sure it makes for a juicy bird.
This is pure genius people don't know bout that turkey BBQ smoke gang. Dummies.
oh... okay. I had no clue what was going on in this picture... I wasn't sure if someone encased that turkey in gelatin or if it was frozen in a block of ice or something...

Yut
It's like that Seinfeld episode where they made salad in the shower.
Yeah, but ..... Lowe's or home Depot 5 gallon bucket for 3$.......
Yea it's called a salt rub. Lather the bitch with salt and rosemary and let it sit in the open air of the fridge in it's roasting tray
I get the thought process. Must be in water, must stay cold. Got it.
[удалено]
No. You no drinking chicken juice. No for drinking. Only for chicken. Drink juice feel bad, trust name.
My grandmother used tale out the fridge drawer to mix her stuffing in, as long as it's cleaned thoroughly before and after I don't see a problem.
It's the before that has me more worried than the after for some reason. I've seen too much gross shit in my crisper drawer I guess.
Shark week is getting weird
🦈 : wth dude
Honestly I see no problem here. You gotta brine that bird and you gotta keep it cold and that plastic drawer can be removed and sanitized when you're done. A bit goofy to see but A+ for creativity and ingenuity. 😊
If they follow it up with siphoning out the drawer and manage to not make a mess, I feel it goes from psycho to next level brining.
If it looks stupid but works it's not stupid.
This being said, that's a LOT of weight in that fridge drawer, probably a lot more than it was designed to hold.
The real question is, did they sanitize Before hand…
Yeah as long as you flood that entire fridge with some good isopropyl alcohol after this it's not the worst.
And to be fair if I am brining a turkey in a big ass ziplock by the time it'd over that drawer is going to need to be cleaned anyways.
My husband brines it in a bucket and leaves it on the back porch for a couple days. It’s cold enough here around thanksgiving that it’s actually colder than the fridge outside.

There’s a thin line between psychopath and Michelin star chef
There is no such line.
You poor sweet summer child. You think Michelin star chefs aren't psycho.
Nope. It’s a catch 22. You have to be batshit crazy to be that dedicated to cooking food that’s good AND pretty at such a high level. At the same time, anyone that crazy would be locked up in either jail or rehab. It’s a miracle that Michelin stars don’t come with a diagnosis.
What am I looking at?
You are looking at a Turkey being brined directly in the refrigerators clear drawer. A drawer that is almost always nasty as hell unless it's cleaned weekly.
It puts the turkey in the bin or it gets the hose again
I see nothing wrong here. Witnessed this exact thing on multiple occasions
Exactly. Fridge drawer: improvisation Desk drawer: psychopath
Or a genius
That’s a little Dahmer-ish.
If it works it’s not stupid
Dry Brine. Do it.
Dry brining is great, especially for steaks. Haven't really found the right amount of salt for chicken yet, comes out too salty for my taste.
I'm going to have nightmares about this.
Weird? Sure, but i don't really see a problem. It doesn't appear that there's anything else inside the fridge, so maybe it's a spare or outdoor fridge? Soap it up and hose it out when you're don't and you're golden.
What was in the bottom drawer?
Traditionally (in my household anyway) it usually contains vegetables or fruits. It tends to get… nasty down there and requires a bi monthly cleaning to prevent smell from dirt or whatever the produce bring into my fridge.
I cringe so hard thinking about how much turkey juice will slosh and splatter on the floor sliding that drawer open.
Annnnd niw I cannot not think about this
I mean as long as the plastic don't break, i say solid life hack if drawer is cleaned before and after.
Someone buy this man a bucket for Christmas; Jesus
Yeah but then you need a spare fridge. This person is maximizing space.
Exactly this just go to Home Depot and get a food grade bucket it's super easy.
This is pretty clever. Better choice than wasting a ziploc bag and a dishwasher can clean that drawer right up.
Brine makes the bird
Mum?
Uh somebody took a bath in my fridge
The hero that nobody asked for.
Dahmer Thanksgiving vibes.
People that have human remains in the freezer
Same deal to make corned beef.
Whole family are going to become birds… they’re going to fly to heaven
Yes, yes, brining in the drawer, maximizing space, got it. WHY THE HELL are there rat droppings on the shelf?
Boy would that piss off my wife…..
Just wait until it gets stuffed
Everything reminds me of her
Brining is honestly a waste of time and resources. Dry bring or just get a quality bird and smother it with a mix of salt, pepp, butter, garlic. Spatchcock or disassemble and cook under high heat (400-450) and you’re good.
Jeffrey what's in the fridge?
Wet-brining is hardly psychopathic
Dry brine ftw
Still looks more seasoned/flavorful than the Turkey my white relative seasoned with not even enough salt and pepper for one serving of dinner
🎶 You can't eat at everybody's house 🎶
My sophomore year of undergrad there were four of us dudes living together, all engineering majors. We made chili A LOT because it was cheap, you could make a lot at once, and it didn’t really matter what you threw in there. It was a catch all.
Creed. Always creep. Jim- just wouldn’t. Dwight would kill is so there would be not need to defrost.
what's wrong?
Yeah honestly not that big of a deal. I would've pulled out the drawer below so there's one less thing to clean but so long as you plan on scrubbing everything at that level and below when you're done it seems fine to me.
OMG what?
🦃
This might be the worst thing I’ve ever seen
Looks like a mob hit.
Ah ... this is perfect ... I am sending this to my husband.
I just wanna take some pictures
Unless that bird was hatched, raised and gleefully slaughtered by them... that's just smart.
This must be tasty
Scary
As I explained to the doctor "I thawed the bird in a timely manner".
That's not what's happening here.
Said the sad poor little deprived child that never had a brined turkey.
Here, have a beer! Salmonella for everyone!
Turkey trot IPA
Let's just watch the lions lose and then you can leave, ok
😮🤢🤮
Too soon.
I actually do this same exact thing, but in a roasting bag instead of directly into the vegetable drawer.
AmericN Psycho, sequel Home for the Holidays
Who eats chicken for Thanksgiving? Savage!
It would've been worse if it was a cannibal
I'm definitely not having thanksgiving at Jeffrey's house this year...
Totally heard a mosquito in my left ear just now. Smushed it. Nothing there.
"I just wet my drawers."
I see no issues here. It’s pretty hard to find a large container to brine a large turkey
I have seen enough. I'll never trust someone's turkey anymore.
Ok I still need to see the new Dexter
Deep fryer time!
MONELA!
I wish I thought of this last thanksgiving..I have bags this one but I went with a dry brine last year
It is going to be impossible to remove it from the fridge and to a preparation area without getting horrible turkey brine nasty water everywhere. Why would you fill it so full?!?!
Better than my family they don’t even let it marinate they thaw and toss it into the oven with salt and pepper
Isn’t it too early to be brining a Turkey for Thanksgiving? Unless you’re eating it tomorrow night…?
Did this last year. Lives up to the hype. It works.
You need to get out of there OP!
My high ass thought I saw a dolphin
Only if you're going to siphon out the brine...
Someone punch that mf for me and Gordon Ramsay
Izzat a scp?
I shall name her Clarisse!! 😋
What the actual Christ is wrong with this person?!? XD
Plenty of space for a bucket that looks unsafe
Then people complain and talk shit when a restaurant has a B rating.
I use a cooler. But this works too.
*Huey Lewis plays.
I'd maybe put a plate on top to keep it submerged, those breasts not getting their full baptism by brine.
What the hell?
I threw my back out last year putting the bird in the fridge to brine.
Brining your turkey is a grade A way to make it delicious. Whatever it takes!!!
I thought it was a head or organs at first.
I mean do you clean it first and after 🤷♂️
What NNN does to a mf
I'm horrified and would like an invite to dinner
Glad I'm not the one. Kudos
The only thing wrong about that it's that the fridge is on how else will he get that slight rotten taste on it that everyone loves
Is that. In the veg crisper?
Fuck everything about this
He should quit cooking cold turkey.
I’d put some barbed wire around it just for pleasure
I hope everyone is thankful for Cross contamination
"What do you want to drink? I have orange juice, milk, tea-"
I thought that was Cole from Live is Blind’s toilet bowl. 🤢
If its too big to fit elsewhere.... 👍👍👍👍
Buying a new fridge on Black Friday special? You are now…
I just decided to quit Reddit
This is actually genius shit
That looks like an alien specimen suspended in fluid.
The difficult part is the taxidermy on the guests. Everybody gets a little stuffing.
He’s brining it but…that’s gross
I keep my brine ready to go and a moments notice! Plop any bird in any old time!
Every year a new fridge and a new friend
Ahhhh yuck.
Funny thing is, that bird came with the house.
I know right, just only having turkey for thanksgiving?
Barf - so much possibility for cross contamination. There is a reason your local health department (likely) would not allow such storage for public consumption.

Aw hell naw
I literally need a giant bucket to fit the turkey with brine, one from like fucking home depot. Apparently I also need an empty fridge to accommodate such things. I almost approve of this if it wasn't going to leak and stink up the refrigerator
Oh God
thalassophobia
At least its not the bath tub!
I can smell this
I fucking gasped so hard I inhaled your entire mom
