Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Success : As a general rule, marinate fish fillets, seafood and vegetables about 30 minutes, pork chops and chicken at least 1 hour and larger meat cuts up to 24 hours. Turn the food once or twice during marinating time, so the marinade can reach all surfaces.
  • Tip 2
    Success : To use the leftover marinade as a sauce, boil it 2 minutes to destroy any bacteria that may have been transferred back and forth when the marinade was brushed on the uncooked meat.
