What’s a “life hack” that actually made your life worse? - Lemmy

Following foodtubers hack of the month. Wasted so much food on their lies. The most expensive mistake was packing steak in salt overnight. Another was “fast” brisket. I’m not talking about “don’t try this at home” cooks, I’m talking about “this is so amazing you have to try it”.
Overnight? That must have been salty af. I salt, rinse, dry mine, but only for roughly 10min per 1/2” of thickness, adjusted to taste.
I salt mine overnight and pat them off before I sear them.
I do a dry brine, making sure to measure out the salt to around 1% steaks weight so you DONT over salt it. It’s like packing it with salt, just a reasonable amount
Isn’t dry brining usually multiple days?
