hi guys - i checked the archives and could not find anything on this topic. anybody ever used a cooler - ours are igloos with tight seals - to thaw and brine a turkey?? OK - being a food poisoning phobe, know it would have to be disinfected before and after - good old bleach - BUT - anybody done this? we do not have a large enough pot to do it conventially. the better half had this idea. situation: we are going to be on road for 21/2 days down to clearwater (fl) and want to defrost and brine the turkey on the way - we'e talking christmas here, not thanksgiving. my idea is to get a fresh free range turkey, freeze it at home, and defrost on the way. any ideas guys?? can we use one of the coolers as a brine/defrost tank? any ideas would help. thanks, irene
