Steak Experiments - Should You Dry Brine Your Steaks (S1.E5)

We're heard that salting your steaks more than 48 hours in advance can make a huge difference in your steak sear. Sooo... of course we're going to put that theory to the test to see if dry brining actually makes a difference. We've set out on a journey to figure out how to sear the perfect steak in cast iron. We get asked this question more than anything else here on social media and there seems to be a lot of confusion around it. So we're creating a series that tests things like how frequently should you flip your steak, when should you salt your steak, what oil should you use, should you let a steak rest, should you tent a steak, etc. Subscribe to our channel ►►►http://bit.ly/2GfDfmD Want to see all of the videos in this steak searing journey: - Should you Rest your Steak? https://youtu.be/eY63-lnXwZk - Should you Test your Steak? https://youtu.be/0Gs56_9zHQc - Should you Dry Brine your Steak? https://youtu.be/y-mktLc6Vpc - How Frequently Should you Flip a Steak? https://youtu.be/HMJvXrZG810 - Do you need to warm up a Steak to Room Temp? https://youtu.be/GbI7T-1TWPk - When Should You Salt Your Steak? https://youtu.be/cECKlsTIIP4 - The original video that set us on this journey. https://youtu.be/ktwf15PROJE _______________________________ Items you'll need for searing the perfect steak: - Cast Iron Skillets - https://amzn.to/2NsDC3R - Silicon Hot Handle Protector - https://amzn.to/2Syu5Hm - Avocado Oil - https://amzn.to/2PtTuQA - My go to Salt - https://amzn.to/2poRRbC - Freshly Cracked Black Pepper - https://amzn.to/2NE0k4q - Infrared Thermometer - https://amzn.to/2DctBmI - Stainless Steel Tongs/Tweezers - https://amzn.to/2ETBWMl - Black Disposable BBQ Gloves - https://amzn.to/2xoyJPd - Cooling Racks - https://amzn.to/2D4bP30 _______________________________ Our Cookers: ► Gas grill - https://amzn.to/2NqrxMM ► Charcoal grill - https://amzn.to/2DfMCVw ► Griddle - https://amzn.to/2rttCgO ► Kamado grill - https://amzn.to/2Cu8glH ► Rotisserie - https://amzn.to/34TkQXU ► Smoker - https://amzn.to/2xqadgL ► Salamander - https://amzn.to/2XTAeRz Fuels: ► Premium Lump Charcoal - https://amzn.to/2OEhFLZ ► Lump Charcoal - https://amzn.to/2OKm27W ► Pellets (Traeger Signature Blend) - https://amzn.to/2xx6MEh ► Pellets (Hickory) - https://amzn.to/2xuYIUk ► Apple wood chunks for smoking - https://amzn.to/2QJuTID Accessories: ► Black disposable BBQ gloves - https://amzn.to/2xoyJPd ► Heat resistant dragon knuckle gloves - https://amzn.to/2xqHVCL ► Wireless & Bluetooth Thermometer - https://amzn.to/2DfbyfB ► Infrared Thermometer - https://amzn.to/2MNarTX ► 8' Shun Chef's Knife - https://amzn.to/2NtFlWV ► Grill Cleaning Tool - https://amzn.to/3a0LHDs ► Cutting board (with drip groove) - https://amzn.to/2xxKsKP ► Butchers block - https://amzn.to/2QItG4a ► My go to Salt - https://amzn.to/2poRRbC ► Cast iron skillets for searing steaks - https://amzn.to/2NsDC3R ► Pizza Stone for the BBQ - https://amzn.to/2yrpFN7 ► Pizza Peel / Flipper - https://amzn.to/2poFL2i ► Smoker box for a gas grill - https://amzn.to/2QMvhG6 ► Electric BBQ Lighter - https://amzn.to/2NpDFNT ► Charcoal chimney - https://amzn.to/2QIcI6h ► Charcoal baskets - https://amzn.to/2xmOBBS ► Favorite BBQ Cookbook - https://amzn.to/2popKcp __________________________ Don't forget to follow us on: Website: bbqandbottles.com Instagram: instagram.com/bbqandbottles/ Facebook: facebook.com/bbqandbotles Twitter: twitter.com/bbqandbottles Snap Chat: @BBQandBottles
