i've never managed to catch beer on fire...

might be ok... never soaked anything in beer before, just poured it on when the ribeyes were grillin

 

[geno]

I've heard it tastes very good

And I'm very sure beer isn't flammable.

 

[Kelvrick]

No, but I've heard of some people baking their turkey to completely cook the insides, and fry'ing the turkey up. Then, while on the pan, they'll pour on some alcohol for that flaming effect right before the turkey is carved.

it'll taste like ass.

I think soaking a turkey in beer is a wonderful idea. They could use the buzz when they see that axe commin at em'

 

[deftron]

What made you think beer would catch on fire ?


Try soaking it in Guinness

 

[Zugzwang152]

dont soak your turkey in beer, soak your beer in a little turkey

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

yes, do it. Ad some spices, lemon juice, some wine and let it marinate for a day or two. We have 1 20+lb turkey sitting with spices, oranges, lemons, beer and wine and one 17lb one with the same. Both turkeys will get deep fried come Thursday. Turkey comes out very moist and juicy. It'll also get injected with a spice/liquid mixture tomorrow in preparation for Thursday.

you don't need to precook a fried turkey... heck, it doesn't take very long (3 min/lb + 5 min at the end)

 

[ElFenix]

actually a little wild turkey in your beer is a boilermaker.

 

[DanTMWTMP]

try hard alcohol? ...btw u = 16!! ahahhaha

wait..alcohol burns up when cooked...so it's all good....

 

[Sluggo]

A dead turkey might turn out good soaked in beer.

A live turkey would just get drunk, go berserk and ruin Thanksgiving........dont ask how I know.

Soak that B*tch in Budweiser!

Have anyone ever heard of cooking a turkey vertically and putting a can of beer inside the turkey. Someone told me that the beer will steam and end up flavoring the turkey that way. I think if you soaked a turkey in beer, it'd be a waste unless you left it there for a few days to really absorb the flavor.... If you're going to soak it in something, soak it in some nice cheap whiskey...you might actually taste a difference.

Budweiser ain't no beer. It tastes like pi$$.

 

Better to soak your head in beer than Turkey.

Done that with chicken, and the result is surprisingly juicy and tender meat. I'm not sure I could really detect the beer flavor, but that's because the only thing we had in cans was lite beer (which was why we were trying to get rid of it by using it for cooking).

Just leave your turkey alone, ok? It will grow eventually.

that's what i'm thinking.

 

[vi edit]

Steaks, brats, and porkchops in beer. Don't know about a turkey. Just seems.....odd.

 

[BigSmooth]

Soak it in J&auml;germeister!

 

[peter584]

I soak mine in grape maddog. It gives it somewhat of a fruit essensce, and I stuff it with goo-balls.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

Drink the beer instead.
