Can I brine a turkey in one of these?

I have been using these bags to brine my Thanksgiving turkey for years (I generally have a 17 - 22 lb. bird). These are the only bags recommended by America's Test Kitchen, as they are tested and approved as food-safe. For brining, after preparing the brine solution, I put the bird into the bag with the brine, get the air out of the bag as much as possible, zip the bag shut, twist the top and add a zip-tie for extra protection. I then put the whole bag inside a large garbage bag, and depending on the weather (I live in the Northeast), either put it out on the porch in a cooler (if it's cold enough) or in a large lobster pot (or bottom bin, if there's room) in my refrigerator. I don't re-use the bags once they've been brined. I also use these for "cooler corn" during summer barbecues - put shucked ears of corn into the bag, cover with boiling water, remove excess air and seal. Place in a cooler for 30 minutes, then drain = perfectly cooked ears of corn! A great way to make lots of corn for a crowd, without doing it on the grill or on the stove - I've cooked up to 50 ears of corn at a time using this technique.

Can I freeze meat in these bags

Hi David!Yes, you can store food in these bags! Since the Big Bags are made of a thicker, heavy duty plastic, than the smaller freezer bags are made of, I don't see why not.Can I use Ziploc® brand Big Bags to store food?Yes. Ziploc® brand Big Bags can be used to store food, but they should not be used in the microwave or oven.The above entry is listed under the FAQ section of http://www.ziploc.com/Products/Pages/BigBags.aspx?SizeName=XLHope this helps!

I received this response from Ziploc:"The well-being of those who use our products is very important to us, and you can use all sizes of Ziploc® brand Big Bags with confidence.Like other Ziploc® brand Freezer and Storage Bags, Big Bags are made from polyethylene and are not formulated with BPA (Bisphenol A). They may be used for freezing and storing foods, and they are also approved for use in food preparation (e.g., turkey brining). However, Big Bags should not be used in the oven or a microwave."

Great question, Robert – the mil thickness for these bags are 3.25 mil.
