Quick Answer about "Why do you need to wrap containers of brined meat?"

Besides the issues with contamination, a good tight seal helps to contain any sloshing when you're moving the container around. This reduces the chance of spashing brine when intentionally moving the container, or when pushing it out of the way to get to something behind it.

Can meat spoil while brining?

Brine Times Most over-brining simply makes everything a little too salty, and you can soak the meat in cold water to draw out the excess salt. If you really let it go too long\u2014as in, brining for days instead of hours\u2014things may go beyond repair. Doing so can make your meat mushy, and there's no way to fix that!

Does brining meat need to be refrigerated?

Place the container in the refrigerator for the period of time specified in the recipe. The amount of time will depend on the type of brine you use; however, do not brine any longer than two days and always keep the turkey and brine refrigerated (at 40\xb0F or less).

Do you rinse meat after brining?

Make enough brine to submerge the meat completely. There is generally no need to rinse the meat after using either brine listed above, just pat dry with paper towels. See Kosher Salt Measures Differently Than Table Salt to convert from table salt to kosher salt.

Do you rinse off brine before cooking?
