Marinating<\/a><\/em><\/strong>-At one time or another, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve either purchased a prepared marinade or constructed your own to use with some type of animal protein.\u00a0 Likely, your goal was to either add flavor or tenderize or both.\u00a0 But, let me ask you: Do you really know what marinades do for specific foods and do you know how to use them?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Our intention is to debunk the myths, get at the truth of what marinades <\/a>can do and provide a guide on marinade amounts and ideal marinating times for specific foods.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

PART I: Myth to Truth in Marinating
<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Deep Do Marinades Go?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of my favorite myths is that of the depth that marinades penetrate in meat.\u00a0 The tale is that once a meat is exposed to a marinade, it will get completely thru but this is far from the truth.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Marinades <\/a>are a surface to few millimeters below surface benefit no matter what the content of the soaking liquid.\u00a0 The oil, herbs, seasonings and spices only add flavor to the exterior of the food with no ingredient ever penetrating to the center of the meat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Are Bottled Dressings a Marinade?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

We all look for ways to cut corners and one of the myths out there is that bottled dressings work just fine as a substitute marinade.\u00a0 The truth, however, is bottled dressings have high levels of acidity which when exposed to meat protein tend to break down the meat molecules too far resulting in a mushy texture.\u00a0 Additionally, bottled dressings are loaded with unwanted ingredients like sweeteners (sugar), gums, and stabilizers and lack ingredients that give any real flavor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

How Long Should You Marinate Meat?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As mentioned above, since marinades don\u2019t penetrate deeply into meat, a longer marinating time doesn\u2019t mean more tender or flavorful meat.\u00a0 In fact, the opposite becomes true.\u00a0 Marinating too long will allow the protein bonds in the meat to weaken resulting in a mushy exterior which can prevent the meat from holding on to moisture.\u00a0 That means you end up with a dry piece of meat.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Doesn\u2019t the Acid in a Marinade Tenderize Meat?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When you\u2019re looking to tenderize meat what you are really doing is breaking down connective tissue in the meat which is what produces tough cuts. Connective tissue <\/a>is made up of collagen and fiber which can be weakened by an acidic ingredient like vinegar, wine, citrus juice, etc.\u00a0 The problem again is this affect is surface only and cannot penetrate to the core of the meat.\u00a0 Best advise is to use these ingredients sparingly and for shorter marinating times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can You Use a Marinade on Any Meat?<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Since you\u2019ve learned that marinades benefit the surface of the meat only, it is best for them to be used with thinner cuts of meat, like chicken breasts, cutlets, chunked meats, steak, and chops.\u00a0 Larger cuts of meat do best with a wet rub<\/a> or spice paste.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

PART II: Marinating Tips for High Flavor and Juiciness<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip #1 Flavorings and Seasonings: <\/em><\/strong>Use a lot of these ingredients in marinades and be sure to watch the salt or it will inhibit the absorption of other herbs, spices, and seasonings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip #2 Score the Meat: <\/em><\/strong>To achieve as much penetration as possible, score<\/a> the meat\u2019s surface with a knife or prick the surface with a fork.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip #3 Reactivating the Marinade:<\/em><\/strong> I personally like to marinate in a storage bag but you can use chaffing dishes or other similar large baking dishes covered with plastic wrap.\u00a0 When using a storage bag, ensure that all the air is out of the bag before sealing.\u00a0 Halfway through the marinating time, flip the storage bag or stir the meat in a dish to ensure everything is getting even soaking time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip #4 Refrigeration: <\/em><\/strong>One risk with marinating is the development of microorganisms since you are dealing with raw meat.\u00a0 You can reduce this risk but getting your marinated meat in the refrigerator as quickly as possible to avoid the temperature danger zone of 40-140\u00b0F when bacteria can spread rapidly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Tip #5 Wipe Off Excess and Discard Leftover: <\/em><\/strong>Remember, you\u2019ve just marinated raw meat so never keep used marinade.\u00a0 It needs to be discarded immediately.\u00a0 If you feel you want to offer some of the marinade to go on the cooked food, simply keep a small amount separate from the marinating meat.\u00a0 Also, so you don\u2019t get excessive flare-up on the grill, wipe off excess marinade from the meat before grilling.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

PART III: Can you Marinate too long? <\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\r\n
