Motorized Meat Marinating Machine–for When Dinner Just Won’t Wait

26 August 2008

Marinating meat or poultry and grilling or baking makes a pretty simple meal that tastes good, too, but what if your kids are screaming for dinner right away and you didn’t get a chance to put anything over to marinate?

Fortunately, in this age of instant satisfaction, there’s a kitchen gadget to help:

The “Automatic Instant Marinater” lets you simply dump the meat in the marinade, press a button, and get an instant ready-to-grill dinner. “The patented motor creates a powerful vacuum seal that gently opens the fibers of meat and other foods, allowing flavors to penetrate fast.”

When you’re done, you can pop the base and lid into the dishwasher, so cleanup is easy.
