Just in time for Xmas the MARINADE MACHINE is here!!!!

[JCBBQ]

Just yesterday I was saying, "God, marinating is so hard. I wish I had a machine that could do it" and lo and behold, this popped up on my Facebook. Only $365...wait, it's on sale for $249.99 you'll save over $100!! Gotta have one.

IUFUNUS gave it 4 stars despite one tinsy bit of criticism "the marinade on the other hand awful I won't use any of it makes meat taste bad"

[Histrix]

I think I'd rather put that money towards a chamber vacuum.

[JCBBQ]

It's certainly the dumbest invention I've seen in a long while

[Jerod Broussard]

Further proof.

[Craigar]

Now for kicks & giggles put said marshmallow in the microwave oven and watch what happens.

[Jerod Broussard]

Craigar I've done it. Freaked the kids out.

[Cheef]

Yes--it looks like Marinade Express works as they advertise. It is faster than traditional marinating. I don't THINK they claim it does anything more?

[billg71]

I just read a post today where the machine worked once and died. "Caveat emptor".

Wow! Someone actually bought one.

[Cheef]

I think there are a few others on here who own them also and like them.

[Nate]

If receiving one of these as a gift be sure to ask for the receipt..... and then use the money to buy a PBC or something.

[Atalanta]

And what would you use to marinade cats?

[Lowjiber]

I've tried to marinade my cat... some might call it a "bath". Doesn't work well at all. Perhaps this high dollar gadget will do the job. I'll dash right out and buy one... not!

[JCBBQ]

Atalanta hahaha I missed that one.

[Cheef]

I will play devils advocate here. I base my results on using the Marinade Express for 4? years.
It WORKS-beyond a doubt with out question the results are excellent. Especially on pork loin and chicken.
I make beef jerky strips often and have for years. 10 minutes in the machine and it takes them to a new level.
Your experience may be different than mine but IF I wasn't completely satisfied with it I would put it in the reject pile and go on.

[Cheef]

And I do agree--their marinade sucks.
I mix my own.

Dry MARINADE simple and easy, or If I wet on the meat I do it in a zip lock bag and into the refrig.

[GolfGeezer]

Cheap, easy one on Amazon. I bought the larger version, but that one shows as "unavailable". I don't use the one I have anymore - it really does not do much more than using a baggie in the frig overnight.

OK, now think about it. Pull a vacuum on a container with meat. Will it pull the marinade into the meat or will it pull the moisture out of the meat. If you want to put marinade INTO meat you need pressure, not a vacuum. That's why injecting works. The use vacuum tumblers in meat manufacturing plants in combination with jaccarding (puncturing) and injecting. Alone? I'm not convinced.

[Backroadmeats]

I very respectfully disagree!! I can throw 300 lbs of pork bellies in my vacuum tumbler ,. Pour in the correct amount of brine. Not injected just pour in and pull a vacuum on the meat. Tumble it for three hours and have cured bacon to put in the smokehouse. All the brine will be absorbed by the meat when I pull the lid on the vacuum tumbler. I know my tumbler isn't the same as this one but it would do it.

[Backroadmeats]

Granted it is a brine of salt not the larger particles of a marinade. Just making a point that the bellies absorb all the liquid under vacuum. I don't know the science of it .. just that it works 😃😃

[HouseHomey]

Oh goodie. It only weighs 17lbs. A bonus table top model too. It can sit all day right on your counter so storage is not an issue.

[JCBBQ]

Lol

[Troutman]

Yea just what my wife and my kitchen space need. Sign me up for sure.

[Steve R.]

I love my marinade machine. It also doubles as a large mixing bowl.
