Why Marinate?
Marinades tenderize & flavour from the outside in. Different cuts of meat, poultry and fish require different marinating times. Beef, pork and poultry lends itself very well to an overnight soaking while fish requires up to an hour, maximum.
For no-mess marinating, pop meat and marinade in a plastic bag. Squeeze out the air. Close the bag and put in fridge for a few hours or overnight. Turn bag occasionally while meat is marinating if you can.
Tip: For a great time saver, marinate meat / poultry in Ziplock bag and freeze. Defrost in refrigerator & grill when the BBQ mood strikes!
