brine - a strong solution of water and salt used for pickling, preserving, and tenderizing foods; herbs, spices, or sweeteners are sometimes added to flavor the brine
Brining is a technique where meat is soaked in a brine so that it tenderizes, moisturizes, and flavors it, as well as reduces the cooking time. The trick to brining is the right balance of salt. Too little and it won't do any good, and too much will make the food too salty! Use a non-corrosive container just large enough to contain the food and brine to cover.
