I've made a few tests before I posted this link to be sure it worked. I understand the concept, which is brining without the water, but just had to test it first. I also have to go on record that I have not done a "control" experiment, nor have I actually used really cheap cuts of meat (mine have been sirloin strips and ribeyes), but I have to say this method has produced some of the best steaks I have cooked in quite sometime. Do not use this method on tenderloin or Filet Mignon - it makes them just a bit salty (the sirloins and ribeyes have never tasted too salty). My favorite variation is to lightly coat the steaks with some Essence, then apply the salt. I have always used kosher salt for a minimum of 3 hours at room temperature. Let me know how it works!

Soda Club Seltzer & Soda Maker
By Tom Kirkham - Posted on November 25th, 2007
The reviews are great on Amazon for the Soda Club Seltzer and Soda Maker. I discovered a limited edition colored model on their web site for the same price. Looking forward to being able to make my own seltzer water to go with my vodka. Below is a link to a video on how it works.
