Brookstone Review for Instant Marinater sku # 571992

Add flavor faster! Instant marinater lets you marinate and season deep into your food in just 5 minutes, not hours. Great for meal preparation in a busy home or for the adventurous chef on the go. Simple to use. Place food in the marinateryou can stack food if you wish. Then create your own marinade and pour it over the food, along with any seasoning. Secure lid to the top and pump out the air to create a vacuum. Pumping action opens the pores of the meat, fish or other food, allowing the marinade to penetrate the food and flavor it in minutes! Top rack dishwasher-safe. 2 1/2 quart capacity.

Reviews and Ratings - Accessories - Instant Marinater By Bill Marinating Success By Bill from Franklin, MA on 7/18/2008 Pros: Easy to clean Describe Yourself: Avid Cook Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Having used their wine system, this product takes a bit more getting used to. Once you get the hang of it, it is very simple and easy to use. Produces good results in a short period of time.

[1 of 1 customers found this review helpful] Reviews and Ratings - Accessories - Instant Marinater By Eddie B Great Product By Eddie B from Los Angeles, CA on 4/13/2008 Pros: Easy to clean, Good construction, Improved Quality Cons: Not enough size options Best Uses: Elaborate Meals, Simple Meals Describe Yourself: Gourmet Cook Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This design is MUCH improved over the previous version that was taken off the market a couple of years ago. Previous model could not withstand the pressure of air removal and would break. Marinates in a minimal amount of time (just enough time to prepare the other ingredients of your dish) and food prepared is juicy and flavorful. Easy to clean and store. Only issues are the size, which is too large for a dinner for two, and the vacuum device, which you have to apply pressure to the lid to remove the air properly.

Now, those specific last minute meal requests such as Chicken Teriyaki,don't need to be denied. And no one else has to know the ease of preparation and clean up.

By Greg from Chicago, IL on 4/8/2008 Pros: Easy to clean, Intuitive controls Best Uses: Simple Meals, Small Kitchens Describe Yourself: Avid Cook Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend In general, a great well...instant marinater. It really does a good job with steaks (45 minutes with 4 steaks and had a tasty mustard marinated crusted steak). The next thing I will try is Korean ribs though as that will be the true test. All in all very happy with the product and easy to use!

Love the quickness and the flavor of what I'm marinating. Wish it was a little bigger and a little deeper (for a roast for example). I tend to cook large quanities. I love to cook and try new recipes so over all I am very pleased with my decision to purchase this product.

By mcm from Texas on 2/15/2008 Pros: Easy to clean Best Uses: Elaborate Meals, Large Kitchens, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens Describe Yourself: Gourmet Cook Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend This product works very well...and fast. Reviews and Ratings - Accessories - Instant Marinater By Montana Great Idea...seems to be defective By Montana from Billings MT on 2/14/2008 Pros: Easy to clean, Intuitive controls Cons: Poor quality Best Uses: Dorm Rooms, Elaborate Meals, Large Kitchens, Simple Meals, Small Kitchens Describe Yourself: Avid Cook Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend I purchased two of these for Christmas gifts. It is only in the middle of February. 1-the pump part handle comes off while pumping the air out. 2-the other one,doesn't seem to work already. You cannot get all of the air out inorder for the marinater to work correctly. Not sure if it is the pump or the seal. I love the idea and think that for $40.00 that they would have worked longer than just a couple of months. Reviews and Ratings - Accessories - Instant Marinater By Chris Great product...

You can marinate in as less as 10 minutes or leave overnight for great flavor and tender meat. The great bonus to this product is it allows you to use many cuts of meat, we have found if you leave meats in the marinater overnight it does a wonderful job of tenderizing the meat much more than other methods. This is great for barbeque as well.

I'm not sure however it does any better than adding tenderizer to a steak, roast or chicken breast. I have not tried using it on more complex marinating recipes. Reviews and Ratings - Accessories - Instant Marinater By LH Really does work! By LH from Boston, MA on 1/12/2008 Pros: Easy to clean, Good construction, High quality, Intuitive controls, Works as advertised Best Uses: Last-minute prep, Quick meals Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I bought the marinater as a gift for my boyfriend, who cooks and grills a lot but isn't one to plan ahead. I was very skeptical about the product but took a chance because of the positive reviews. My boyfriend used it to make Chicken Yakitori, which I usually marinate for several days, and it was excellent! I would never have guessed that he marinated the chicken just minutes before grilling. He said the product is easy to use and clean. We love it!
