[Q]: CONTEXT: Alton Brown recommends brining pork chops in a salt water solution in one of his Good Eats episodes. I have been brining them before I cook them ever since I saw that and think it makes them juicier.I brine them for a couple hours at most and then just cook them. Never tried the drying in the refrigerator.  <sep>  Q: I want to prepare pork chops by salting them, putting them in a brine, and drying them, but how should I go about this? A: Alton Brown recommends brining pork chops in a salt water solution in one of his Good Eats episodes  Q: Do I still have to cook the meat after all that, or is it ready to eat? A: I have been brining them before I cook them ever since I saw that and think it makes them juicier  Q: Will the brine and/or salt cause issues of bone rot? A: I have been brining them before I cook them ever since I saw that and think it makes them juicier 
[A]: How much salt should I add to make the saltwater brine?


[Q]: CONTEXT: Yes, you can use eggs well past their "sell by" date. A week past shouldn't have a noticeable difference.The older the eggs get, the more evaporation that will take place (because the eggs are washed, so they don't have a protective layer).You will notice in older eggs that there's a growing pocket of air inside the egg when you break them. (for me it tends to be on the more rounded end, but I don't know if it has to do with how you orient the eggs in storage).I know that I've used eggs more than a month past the "sell by" date, and I wouldn't be surprised if I've gone two months. It's only really a problem in baking, as the egg whites won't contribute the same amount of moisture as if they were fresh. And maybe for hard boiled eggs if you want them pretty, as you'll end up with a void where the air pocket is.  <sep>  Q: How long can refrigerated eggs last past their date? A: I know that I've used eggs more than a month past the "sell by" date, and I wouldn't be surprised if I've gone two months 
[A]: how can you tell if they are bad?


[Q]: CONTEXT: As long as they aren't spoiled they'll be fine for a crumble/crisp/cobbler. You'll want to have someone else taste them to make sure first. They may need less sugar and less or no precooking. If they are really, really mushy then you might want to add some firmer plums or other fruit to give some texture.  <sep>  Q: Are mushy plums OK to use in cooking? A: As long as they aren't spoiled they'll be fine for a crumble/crisp/cobbler  Q: I have some plums that have started to go soft and squishy. How do I tell if they are still OK? A: You'll want to have someone else taste them to make sure first 
[A]:
Is there any other way to tell?
