Calculation steps
- 1盐 = 水 × 浓度 = 1000 × 6% = 60 g
- 2总重 = 水 1000 + 盐 60 = 1060 g
- 3浓度口径 = 盐 ÷ 水 × 100 = 6%
Concentration quick reference
| Concentration | Use case | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 2~3% | Quick pickle veggies | 30 分钟~2 小时 |
| 5~6% | Juicy chicken/pork chops | 1~2 小时 |
| 6~8% | Whole poultry, overnight | 8~12 小时冷藏 |
| 10~15% | Heavy pickle & cured fish | 1~7 天 |
- Concentration here = salt ÷ water × 100. Sugar adds sweetness but is not counted; total salinity is slightly higher with sugar.
- By weight, coarse and fine salt are equally salty — always weigh, never measure by volume.
- Always brine in the fridge (4°C) to stay out of the danger zone; discard used brine, never reuse.
- Rinse the surface after brining and skip extra salt in cooking — the meat is already seasoned to the center.
- Too strong or too long = rubbery, over-cured meat; chicken breast 6% within 2h is the safe default.
- Long-term fermented pickles involve nitrite risk — use dedicated recipes, this tool covers short brines only.
