Notes
((( Marinating tips ))) Don’t use metal containers for marinating – acidic ingredients will react and taint the food’s flavour. Refrigerate when marinating – marinades don’t prevent spoilage. Drain food before cooking. Too much marinade in the pan will prevent food coming into contact with the hot surface, causing it to stew.
