Tips for marinating your meat and veggies to perfection
A good marinade can enhance the flavour of your grilled meats and veggies. Here are some helpful marinating tips:
Never use the same marinate you used to marinate meat in other dishes. This is because marinade that comes into contact with meat may have harmful bacteria growing in it
The longer you leave your meat and veggies to marinate, the more tender and flavourful they’ll be, but leaving them to marinate too long can lead them to become mushy
Always store marinade in the refrigerator. When placing your marinade in the fridge, never put it in a metal container; only store marinades in clean, airtight plastic or glass containers

FAQs
Hickory, mesquite, oak, apple, and cherry are all great choices for smoking beef. They also infuse the meat with unique flavours.
Absolutely! Just marinate your meat or veggies in BBQ sauce for a few hours and throw them on the grill. But try not to use overly sugary sauces as these can cause your meat and veggies to burn if you leave them on the grill for too long.
Given that the marinade is fresh and hasn’t come into contact with meat yet, you can store marinade in the refrigerator for about 3 days, and even longer if you freeze it.
