Vacu Vin 2977450 2-1/2-Quart Instant Marinating Container
A nice addition to any busy kitchen, this handy marinating container makes it possible to marinade food in a matter of minutes--instead of hours. Marinating helps retain natural juices, enhances flavors, and helps deliver better results when grilling, baking, or pan searing. To use, simply place food inside, in either a single layer or stacked, pour a marinade over the food, close the lid, and pump out the air to create a vacuum. Pumping out the air causes the pores of meat to open and the juices to get pulled in, which not only creates an even marinade, but also tenderizes the food. The unit offers a 2-1/2-quart capacity, and it works great for everything from meat or fish to tofu and vegetables. It can also be used as a food-storage container. Made of durable polycarbonate, the marinating tool measures approximately 10 by 10 by 4 inches and cleans up easily by hand or in the dishwasher (top rack only).
