13 Rapid Marinating
Marinating is the best method for adding flavor to a
meat or game dish and tenderizing it. Food is marinated
in just a few minutes when it is vacuum-packed
because the vacuum-packing process opens the pores
in the food, allowing for greater and faster absorption of
the marinade.
Using the exclusive
Rapid marinating
function, the
machine maintains the vacuum for several minutes and
then releases it, allowing the food to "rest" for 30 sec-
onds. This process will be repeated several times. The
pulsating vacuum and rest action allows for a much
faster marinating time.
The entire cycle lasts about 12 minutes.
Proceed as follows:
- To marinate meat, fowl and fish, poke the surface of
the food and place it in the 2.5 liter square
MAGIC
VAC
®
Executive
canister, covered with the marinade
of your choice, leaving an air space of about 3 cm
