Cooking For Fun Marinades
Marinades are a diverse combination of flavors that set the tone of your outdoor barbecue festivities. For best results, use your marinade immediately after the ingredients have been combined. Place meats or vegetables in a zip-lock bag with the marinade, and remove as much air as possible before sealing and refrigerating. You may want to prick the meat with a fork to allow the marinade to permeate deeply into the cut of steak, pork, or chicken. Shrimp and vegetables may
marinate for 15 minutes to 1 hour for best results. All other meats
and chicken should be marinated a minimum of 2 hours, and overnight if
possible. If you wish to marinate meat or vegetables but do not have
much time, you can put the marinade in a container and heat it in the microwave
to a coffee-like temperature before starting to marinate; the heat will
accelerate the process. Plan ahead: Marinate meats and then freeze them,
so you can use them at a later date
