Question 1

Can a 20lbs suckling pig fit in? It should be about 20 inch.

Accepted Answer

Yes. My turkey was 23 pounds and it fit easily.

Question 2

Any chance a 30lb turkey would fit?  I cannot find a bag that says it will accommodate a 30lb turkey anywhere.

Accepted Answer

In the past I have put the brine bag inside a 5 gal food safe grade bucket.Or you can use a bucket without a brine bag but I use both for reasons I mention below.Go to your local grocery chain bakery section and ask if they have any 5 gal cake frosting buckets they are looking to get rid of. Or maybe your local deli has some buckets they buy bulk pickles in that they may want to get rid of. Bring it home and wash it out really well.  It may smell like frosting or pickles the first year you use it but eventually the smell will go away and by next year it should be fine. I place the brine bag inside the bucket first and then add the turkey and brine. That way if the bag should break or leak the bucket will contain the mess and you don't have to worry about it.Since this setup is an option to finding room in your refrigerator, You can put ice in a large ziplock bag and place it on top of the brine bag in the bucket to keep the brine cool without diluting it. Replace ice as needed for the next 24 hrs or so....When you get ready to remove the turkey from the brine, bring bucket to the sink and carefully lift the brine bag out and set it in the sink. Then take scissors and make a slit at bottom of bag to let the brine out. You can continue to rinse the turkey while it is in the bag and water will just drain out. It will keep your turkey clean while rinsing it thoroughly. I don't like to rinse my turkey out while it sits directly in the sink. Who knows what has been in the sink lately? I do not reuse the bag because of food contamination so I don't feel bad for cutting a slit in it when I am done with it.

Question 3

What material is the bag made of?

Accepted Answer

It's made of plastic that is thicker than a standard brining bag from a kit. It's substantially larger, as well. I think it would hold a turkey larger than 25 pounds. I am not sure what kind of plastic it is, the package I have from last year doesn't have anything printed on it that specifies the kind of plastic. It is pretty heavy duty. I've used a lot of different brining bags, and this is the best. There is a clip on the plastic that helps you seal it, and it's a little hard to replace it after you get butter or oil on the clip, so be careful not to pull it off. I ended up having to use twine to close the bag, which was fine because it helped the brine cover my turkey, anyway. I put the bag into the roasting pan, put the turkey in the bag, then poured the cold brine over and it fit into my refrigerator. You could also put the bag into a cooler filled with ice and it would save up some of your refrigerator space. Hope that helps!

Question 4

How long do you need to brine it for before cooking?

Accepted Answer

12-24 hours.  I wouldn't go longer than 24 and b sure to rinse very very well after.
