You cannot hydrate your body by taking a shower

and why are you telling us this OP? Are you Martha Stewart?

Do you not understand that basters' crispy skin prevents such a phenomenon? Or are you some weird chemistry or physics major who intends to ruin a dinner they were invited to despite ZERO cooking experience and their need to take over the entire dinner, other than contributing to an 88 cent litre bottle of soda?

What happens when I beat my meat, OP?

Why do people use lotion? I just moisturized. I feel its effects.

OP bastes the juices on its skin or it gets the hose!

Greg's up early today.

The lotion you use on your body creates a barrier to further drying or moisture loss.

Oil or butter on the skin of the turkey can also prevent moisture loss but only to a point.

Germs cannot penetrate through your normal, healthy skin, then how could water and lotion? Just use your brain, fat ho R4.

Sure. The stratified squamous epithelium found in certain living creatures, such as humans, is impermeable. A turkey roasting in the oven, on the other hand, is in the decomposition phase and will absorb some liquid when basted, which will keep it from drying out. Opening the oven door too often simply will prolong the cooking process. Likewise, a decomposing human body resting in water, for example, will also absorb liquid.

R9 Wrong.

It will absorb liquid in a brine but just pouring some over the skin will not help.

R10, revel in your obstinate ignorance and enjoy your dry bird as I flip you mine.

OP why would you give your turkey a shower?

PS: According to the CDC, do not wash/rinse your turkey before cooking. It'll only serve to spread bacteria throughout your kitchen.

Fat whores thread.

I'm showering with my turkey as I type. It's so moist!

This thread needs more prunes.

I want r2 at my house today.

Can you repeat that verbatim to some of my guests?

OP read this article from Southern Living, then made up the most annoying comparison he could think of, just to be a fucking bitch over the holidays.

Use the cover that came with your roasting pan if you don't want a dry bird. If you desire a brown skin, remove the cover for the final stretch in the oven and butter the skin. But leaving it uncovered and basting for the whole cooking time does not result in juicier turkey.

I have a recipe for hens that calls for putting a glaze on it two or three times during cooking, I'm a little concerned because I don't like to open the oven door, but the reviews are good so I'll trust that it works.

Mmm hmm. I’ve got my eye on you.

The CDC has ZERO credibility, R13!!!!!!!!

Inject your turkey's b-b-breastesses with white wine before cooking. You're welcome.

I think you’re both mentally ill.
