Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vacu Vin Vacuum Instant MarinaterCustomer Review: Great for last-minute cooks Summary: 5 Stars
If you are like me, you come home having grabbed a pack of chicken breasts while dashing through the grocery store in a total panic on your way home from work. Or you are a master of defrosting that frozen flank steak in the microwave, because you forgot to leave it to thaw as you ran out of the house at 7am with your hindquarters on fire. Needless to say, neither you nor I had the remotest chance to mix up a marinade to give these bland meats some kind of interesting flavor in a leisurely eight hour bath. I have many great marinade recipes, including a killer teriyaki, another favorite that uses tequila and liquid mesquite smoke, and of course, the garlic, olive and lemon one for Lebanese chicken. These recipes are delicious and totally useless to me normally, because I usually forget to plan ahead and actually marianate anything. (I'm lucky if I remember to unwrap them before I slap them on the grill.) Enter the Vacu-vin Marinater. Through the miracle of vacuum, you can cause your marinade to permeate the meat in minutes. It's nice and flat, so fits in the fridge. It's not all that big, again, so it fits, but this can be a problem if you need to make a great deal of marinated foods. Well, you can always batch them up --it only takes a few minutes. This device is really a lifesaver if you are having a grill party and you were so intent on making those little paper lanterns out of paper bags that you forgot to marinate the main dish.
Description of Vacu Vin Vacuum Instant MarinaterYou're having a few friends over for grilled steaks, you've got the salads made, the wine chilling and are just about to fire up the grill when suddenly you realize you never put the meat in to marinate. If you had the Vacu Vin Instant Marinater you'd be right on schedule, as opposed to hyperventilating. All it takes is five measly minutes for this incredible tool to open up the pores and fibers of the food, tenderizing and marinating simultaneously. The Instant Marinater quickly marinates meats or vegetables, letting you off the hook when you want a flavorful meal but didn't plan ahead. To marinate meat, simply place it with the marinade inside the dish, close the lid tightly, insert the pump, and pull the air out. The vacuum causes the pores of the meat to open, allowing it to quickly absorb the marinade. The Instant Marinater is also great for storing foods, as the vacuum helps keep meat fresh and vegetables crisp. It is freezer-, microwave-, and dishwasher-safe. --Jane DePaolo
