Reply to "Annual Turkey 101 Discussion"

Questions:

(1) When do you put the rub on? Right after the brine? Is it more difficult to get the rub under the skin if everything is still moist right after the brining or does that make it easier to separate the skin? Is it better to wait 12 hours?

(2) You mention flipping the turkey breast side down approximately half way through the cook. Does the cheesecloth stay over the breast (so under the turkey) or do you always leave it on whatever part of the turkey is facing up?

(3) What do you use for baste? Do you baste it through the cheesecloth?

Thanks.
