Marinating Under Pressure

I like to marinate in a vacuum sealed bag because it speeds the absorption of the marinade and also dramatically reduces the amount of marinade you need. Refer to this post for tips on sealing liquids. Refrigerate the vacuum bag pieces to marinate.
As the vacuum sealer removes the air from the bag, it also opens the pores of the food, allowing marinades to penetrate deeply in as little at 20 minutes. No more marinating for hours. I just put pre-portioned meat and/or vegetables in a vacuum seal bag along with my marinade, vacuum seal, and I’m ready to grill in under half an hour.
