For best results, ensure the pork is fully submerged in the brine. You may need to add more water to achieve this. Brining time will vary depending on the size and cut of pork. A general rule of thumb is 1 hour per pound, but do not exceed 8 hours. After brining, rinse the pork thoroughly under cold water and pat dry before cooking. This removes excess salt and promotes better browning. Experiment with adding other aromatics to the brine, such as peppercorns, bay leaves, or citrus zest, to customize the flavor profile.
