TRANSCRIPT
A lot of recipes, you'll come across, will call for things to be submerged in water or solution, like these onions here, they're in a brine.  So they end up being buoyant and then you have to weigh them down and this one back here, Amy Wisniewski, came up with this genius idea.  You put the water in a zip lock bag, just don't fill it too much, and then you lay it down in there.  It is a genius weighting solution.
