Marinating with a vacuum sealer involves using the vacuum sealing equipment to enhance the marinating process by creating a vacuum around the food and marinade. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to marinate food using a vacuum sealer:
Prepare your food and marinade: Start by cutting, trimming, or portioning your food as needed. Prepare your desired marinade in a separate container, ensuring it's well mixed and flavored to your liking.
Place the food and marinade in a vacuum-sealable bag or plate. Using the Henkelman CombiVac Marinating program. The marinating program will pull a vacuum inside the chamber and release air back into the chamber in 5 steps. This will cause the meat to open and close its pores, so that your marinade will fall deeply into the pore of your protein, just like a sponge!
Repeat first and second steps as much as you need!
