Marinades: The Messengers of Flavor
Tips on making your own marinades:
You know the right marinade can make the best food taste even better. But what exactly
makes a marinade work? How does Reveo revolutionize the process, bringing flavor to
heights that traditional marinating could never hope to match? And how can you use this
knowledge to bring maximum flavor to your own food and express your individuality?
First, it’s important to know that every great marinade is made up of three ingredients:
acid,
flavoring and other liquids
. Marinating works to “tenderize” meat by breaking it down
with the acid and softening it with the liquid. The problem with traditional marinating is that
it’s only able to drive in the flavoring in so far. The Reveo works by removing air and pressure
from the marinating process, so food opens up to accept juices through to its core.
Here are the three key ingredients of all great marinades:
Acid: The acid portion of your marinade can be vinegar, citrus juice, milk, yogurt
or wine
Flavoring: This category is wide open! Use salt, spices, seasonings, herbs, liquid smoke
or even Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey... you name it.
Other Liquids: Any water or oil. We recommend using flavored oils or virgin olive oil.
We recommend that you use Reveo Dry Marinade Bases, which are available at your
Reveo retailer or online at www.freethemeat.org. They are specially formulated for optimum
flavor during the MariVac process. Please see page 15 for more information on using Reveo
Dry Marinade Bases.
