    How did you make and apply the brine? I tried it once and the results where despicable.

      I use a 3% lye bath for 20 seconds. Also baked using a convection oven. I’ve done it using a baking soda boil and/or a standard oven and it just gets light brown. Lye plus convection is the key to get that dark brown.
