Today I Learned
What did you learn today? Share it with us!
We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Are we complaining about pre-brined chicken?
We're complaining about them pretending the brine is chicken, not brine.
It's a real problem for people on low-sodium diets. Labeling is imprecise.
Labeling in the US would have to contain the added sodium content.
Yeah. "may contain up to 30 percent water with saline"
That's it. That's all.
No, it would be included in the sodium content on the nutrition label.
Look sometime.
besides what the other person said this is not just brined. Its literally injected.
They put it in a bag and use a syringe to inject brine. Its not "literally injected".
whatever they were doing to it standard chicken breast at the store got gross.
Injecting meat with brine is definitely a thing in cooking.

And the other person was wrong about the sodium content being improperly labeled. It would be reflected on the nutrition label.
ugh. I can't imagine injection brining that is just salt water. Honestly I can't imagine brining with just salt water. As I said in another comment we did not even know what they were doing but chicken breast just got aweful and we moved to organic at that point which seemed to be fine. We did try some of the standard chicken when its been big loss leader and it did seem a bit better so I think they backed off at some point where there must have been a peak of screwing with it.
Try brining with cooking wine.
Good shit.
im not a big wine and bear with cooking person although my wife loves it. I always feel any flavor it adds is psychological.
