TO QUICKLY MARINATE
Marination not only tenderizes the surface of the meat and
vegetables to be cooked, but also infuses more flavor into them.
The latter is especially true when marinating thin cuts of meat or
small pieces of vegetables. But this can be a time-consuming
process, requiring anywhere from 12–18 hours of refrigeration.
Here, vacuum packing comes through as an alternative method that
immediately opens up the surface pores of the food to accept the
marinade mixture, thereby fast-tracking the process.
