I guess this is as good a place as any to put this. What is the technique for injecting brine, be it a curing brine or seasoning brine ?
Do you place the needle and inject like you are trying to create a puddle or extract the needle as you inject to create a trail ?
I've only tried it once, years ago with a Tony's Cajun Butter seasoning on a turkey. Needle was very hard to push and I think the sauce just trickled out around the needle. It was along time ago, so my memory may be off. I do know I gave up, but kept the needle/syringe just in case.
Now that I have found this place (and the needle), I might have a use for it. So many great cooks here with injected Hams, Canadian Bacon, poultry ect. I am considering a Bayou Classic or similar needle with the 3 rings to make for easier injecting. There is one brand on Amazon That comes with 2 6-inch needles. Might be helpful on larger meats i.e. picnics.
