Cooking Tips

MARINADES

Marinating keeps meat and fish moist and tender,
and an easy way to season grilled foods.

Use the Right Container: You should use a shallow, non-reactive
container, such as a glass or plastic dish or a resealable plastic bag
for easy clean-up. This will allow the marinade to coat food evenly.
These containers also make it easy to transport to the grill.

How Long: Marinate meat and poultry for at least 30 minutes at room
temperature; if marinating longer, refrigerate, turning meat
occasionally. Let the meat come to room temperature before grilling.
Seafood should be marinated for only 15 to 30 minutes; Chicken
should not be marinated more than 2 hours; any longer, and the acid
in the marinade will begin to “cook” the fish or chicken. Beef and pork
can be marinated longer, up to 24 hours.

Safety: Consuming marinades used on raw fish or meat is not safe. If you plan on basting
your food during cooking set some aside before marinating.
