WOW! This is the bomb! I can't wait to try it :)
I think that I’ll use a gallon Zip Loc bag to do the brining. What do you think?

I made this using two boneless pork chops. The chops were tender, but a bit salty for my taste. I think I'd just do a tablespoon of the salt. I added a picture and put this in IMI on 5/11/14
