Articles: How to Use Marinades

Do you need time saving tips that will make your meal preparations a snap. Once you come home from the grocery store, prepare your marinades and place in a zip lock freezer bag. Add your meat and toss until meat is coated well. Write the name of the marinade and meat on the plastic bag and then toss in the freezer. That’s right, freeze your meat and marinade together. Some how this really gets the flavor inside your meat. We do all of our meat this way.

When you are ready to cook your meat, just lay out the bag and let it thaw. As your meat thaws, the flavor soaks into the meat. Cook your meat the way you would normally cook your meat. Just discard the marinade and the bag.
