Tips for Good Marination

• Cover and refrigerate food while marinating to avoid bacterial growth.
• Use zip-top bags or glass dish to marinate.A bag requires about half as much marinade(half cup per 500gm of meat)as a dish and makes for easy cleanup.
• Do not use aluminium pans,which can react with the acid in your marinade to alter the flavour.
• Discard marinade after using.If you want to use the same mix to baste or as a serving sauce,set aside a small amount before marinating.
• Hold off adding salt until just before cooking your meat.Salt can leech out moisture and leave the meat tough and dry.
