MARINATING WITH YOUR FOODSAVER
®
Your FoodSaver
®
Vacuum Sealing System has a special
Quick Marinate Cycle which will last about ten minutes.
The vacuum motor will "hold" the vacuum for several
minutes then release the vacuum allowing the food
to "rest" for 30 seconds. This process will then repeat
two more times. This "pulsing" action of "vacuuming
and resting" will allow for quicker marinating. When the
Quick Marinate Cycle is completed the appliance will
beep to signal marinating is complete. The FoodSaver
®
Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect FoodSaver
®
Accessory for marinating foods. Foods will marinate in
minutes when vacuum sealed because the vacuum
process opens the pores of the food and absorbs the
marinade more quickly.
NOTE: Use the FoodSaver
®
Quick Marinating
Canister with clear lid and large white knob.
During the Quick Marinate Cycle, make sure
knob on accessory lid is set to OPEN. Do not set
knob to Vacuum. The Vacuum position on the
knob will allow the Quick Marinating Canister
to be used for extending vacuum storage.
