Required Kitchen Tools
To make this copycat Ted's Montana Grill Pickle Recipe smooth and stress-free, you'll want a few basic tools:
- Large Glass Jar (Half-Gallon): Ideal for layering cucumbers and brine.
- Measuring Spoons & Cups: For accuracy in balancing salt and spices.
- Mixing Bowl or Pitcher: To dissolve sea salt in water before pouring it over cucumbers.
- Wooden Spoon: For stirring and pressing cucumbers gently into the brine.
- Refrigerator Space: Make sure you have room since the jar needs to sit undisturbed for a few days.
