 Brining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In cooking, brining is a process similar to marination in which meat is soaked in a salt solution (the brine) before cooking.
Some cheeses are periodically washed in a saltwater brine during their ripening.
Not only does the brine carry flavors into the cheese (it might be seasoned with spices or wine), but the salty environment may nurture the growth of the Brevibacterium linens bacteria, which can impart a very pronounced odor (Limburger) and interesting flavor.

 All About Brining - The Virtual Weber Bullet
Brining is a popular method for improving the flavor and moisture content of lean meats like chicken, turkey, pork and seafood.
The length of time meat soaks in a flavor brine depends on the type of meat and its size, as well as the amount of salt used in the brine--the saltier the brine mixture, the shorter the soaking time.
