What is the name of the cooking technique of submerging meat in a salt solution prior to cooking?

Works great for poultry, especially turkey.

Megan , don't forget the sugar part 2

I'm really glad this question and description was here. I've never really understood brining and the science behind it. I think I'll try this on some pot roast next time. It is incredibly difficult for me to get the juicy, tender, fall apart, melt in your mouth roast. Occasionally, I get it right but then the next time I make it and follow the same recipe, it ends up so dry you have to cut it into tiny pieces in order to chew it. I'm thinking I might try brining next time.

For health reasons, I’ve gotten used to cooking without salt. There are lots of ways to add flavor.

little b, It adds an extra step, but it also adds flavor.

brining in meat but soaking for a while in salt and water is for my leafy vegetables

I use it for my turkey every Thanksgiving, always juicy.

I've never usedthis method in cooking😥😈
