Butterball HELP!

You can absolutely brine a Butterball. Butterball has a brine recipe on their site: http://www.butterball.com/tips-how-tos/how-tos/brine

Follow Alton Brown's recipe for brining (optional), high heat, low heat and tenting and you cannot go wrong: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/good-eats-roast-turkey-recipe/index.html

I'm in the same predicament and I think I will use the cider brine recipe I bought all the ingredients for, but I will only soak for 4-5 hours. I guess I will also place butter mixed with fresh herbs in between the skin and muscles of the bird and maybe rub more butter on the outside of the skin (why not?!)... and I'll be sure to baste. I read something about using an "aluminum tent" as part of the process - not sure what that's about but would love an answer from someone who does!

I'll be crossing my fingers for both of us tomorrow! ;-)

Friday's love affair with Fieri is growing. Just saw an ad last night for his new signature dishes being added to their menu. When will the madness stop? Soon, they'll be selling sunglasses and forearm bands for each day of the week LOL!

I'm glad for Adam - always seemed like a nice guy trying hard. More power to him.

Adam gets his own FN show as predicted

I hated Guy when his cooking show first started for cooking tater tots and having guests named "Dirty P." The show has gotten better but the set is ridiculous. Then I started watching DD&D and unexpectedly started liking him. I like the way he interacts with the cooks and owners. I do not like the way he stuffs his face but I have a big problem with the table manners of virtually everyone on the FN.

I'm happy to see that Adam got a show - I liked him on TNFNS but apparently he's not a very good cook. Though I'm not convinced that Aaron McCargo is a good cook, either.

@Hillary, I heard that Garza signed with a different network to do some kind of show, but after that whisper of an announcement, I haven't seen anything else.

Is Lisa Garza getting her own show? I definitely thought Adam or Lisa deserved it more than Aaron (not that he doesn't seem like a good guy).

My 7 year old asked if Guy had eyes in the back of his head, and was that why he needed those glasses.

I'm tired of the over-exposure of all these guys.

Dude.... This season sounds like it's "off the hook!" TVFN is "Money"

signed,
Not Guy Fieri....

What a bunch of S#!%heels at TVFN... The dumbing down of food TV all for the sake of ratings. Brooke Johnson is really going "off the hook" to crazyland and she is dragging a circus train with her. Will someone stop the madness and start "Foodie TV" in the name of all things holy!

I LOOOVE GUY FIERI

I'm not big on his attitude or his look but I do enjoy DD&D alot. I got the book for Chanukah and it comes with a DVD (anyway at FYE it does). When he won The Next Food Network Star, I was disappointed as I didn't vote for him but I see what they saw in him. He has a lot of personality. You don't have to like him.

I don't like his manly man attitude or the fact that they play sports or fishing on that tv in the background of his tv show. I find that annoying. Some of his recipes look good though. I am trying his Mac Daddy Mac & Cheese next weekend for a pot luck thing. M&C with bacon and panko crumbs and 2 kinds of cheese??? mmmm...got me!

So I may not like his attitude but he has a lot of personality and he can cook. So, he won the contest fair and square (unlike that guy on Rachael's show who was turning burners off and stuff on "So You Think You Can Cook 3" - Marvin? Anyway, at least he did it honestly and with personality.

I may not be a big fan but doesn't mean I can't enjoy his shows or his food.

I actually loooove him too! If given a choice of having one of the 'network' stars preparing a meal especially for me, I'd choose him. I think he's funny, down-to-earth and has a great personality. I love DD&D...he doesn't feature 'normal' DD&Ds, almost all that I've seen are very special, and I'd KILL to have one of those in my neighborhood. I mean, those people are cooking REAL food, lots of it looks way better than stuff you find in most 'restaurants' these days. So, if YOU hate him, fine. He obviously appeals to lots of people, thank goodness. And, oh, BTW, I am a chef in an 'upscale' restaurant, and have been cooking for nearly 30 years now. Sure, I love foie gras and caviar, etc. but I ALSO love REAL, everyday-type food as long as it's made with great ingredients. Most of the cooks he interviews on DD&D actually DO use 'the best' stuff. So there!!!

Well, I do like Guy F. and appreciate his ability to chop,peel,slice,dice,pour,fry,boil,and talk at the SAME time and I just take what I need and like from his recipes...good grief..He's one style of man and a cook.. To me what HE DOES is the miracle in his gift to me as I watch his show. Ann

I like triple D but I don't care for his cooking. His recipes just don't look/sound appealing. Plus, I agree with lindy123, it is time for an update.

@ missmanders "He's kinda over the top".... is like being kinda pregnant?
or kind dead.... Guy is over the top, hell I think that's one of his catch phrases....

I think the thing that bothers me the most about guy is he gets people excited about how he looks, (freakish in an "older guy tryin to be hip" sorta way) what he's saying, and not looking at the CRAP he is eating.

But then again...... I'm kinda crazy........

gag me with a ginsu knife. this guy is the poster child for all that is bad about the whole celebrity food business. sophomoric, uninteresting, ego-driven drivel that leaves you feeling like you just had some bad chinese food at the food court at the mall. please, please food network, give us less of this guy. or at least get him a haircut. it's really embarrassing.

He's kinda over the top (and good grief, the bleached hair and the bling...), but I like him anyway. :) He seems like the kind of fellow I wouldn't mind having as a neighbor...bizarre, but ultimately pretty good-hearted and a people person.

This Guy Sux. I like the idea of the show. People writing in to tell about their favorite spots. Its about the "mom and pop" sports. ...but dam Guy is so annoying. his hairstyle is outdated. too much wack ass jewelry for one guy and the dumb sunglasses behind the neck fucking makes me cringe. i want to knock them off his neck. but he has no neck. the guy just makes me cringe. i choose not to watch the show cause just the fact that he is on the TV screen makes me sick. now he gets sideline passes to sporting events and courtside hoops tix. Im not a hater i just dont like him.

It's the whole "over the top" "out there" "in your face" thing. For all I know the guy can cook - I just can't actually watch him.

Seriously I haven't heard that expression used that many times since the movie Swingers and that was made in 1996! He is too loud in a drunk frat boy kind of way.
