Looks great!

My husband has come up with a really simple pork brine. We often will buy a full pork loin and then cut it into chunk portions. The chunks are a single thick slice which when cooked will be enough to feed the two of us. Think thick boneless pork chop. We drop these chunks into ziplock bags. We add a bay leaf (laurel leaf), roughly cracked pepper. Then we make a brine with ho****er, kosher salt, and molasses. This gets pored into the bags till the liquid will cover 1/2 of the pork cunks. We then finish by adding cold water.

The chunks are then put in the freezer. The freezer? The reason is that in the 1/2 to hour it takes for a deep freezer to freeze the pork chunks, the brine has about 1/2 of the time it needs. Then when we take the chunk out to cook, we defrost the chunk in warm water. This takes about 1/2 hour... So all told the brine has an hour or hour and a half to work.

We then grill, saute, smoke, or bake as we would like our pork chunk! Often it is just on the grill with some delicious sauce as a light mop. Then we slice and share! Yum!

Homemade mayo is super easy to make. Check it out in youtube. And you can make it with no sugar. It's super good.

I think I should try this one out. Thanks for sharing this!!

I remember, a million years ago, trying to do one stovetop. It took forever and was TERRIBLE. So I have absolutely no clue how long to do it!
