Marinating Food: The Perfect Plan for a Savory Summer
As we head toward June, a month rife with cookouts and backyard barbecues, the time has come to consider marinating food as your best option for enjoying savory summer flavors.
One of the benefits to marinating your dishes ahead of time, especially your meats, is that they deeply absorb the flavors of whatever herbs or spices you choose to marinate them in. That means, of course, that to pull off a successful marinade, you must plan ahead. Fortunately, we are here to help smooth the way.
Choosing the Right Marinade
If you're a total novice in this area, don't despair. Plenty of online foodie blogs have put together tutorials to help you match your marinade with your meat. A good place to start might be this Marinating 101 introduction, which gives recommendations for pairing marinades with beef, chicken, or pork.
If you are a bit more accomplished, you can use this chart to mix and match your herbs, throwing together your own unique marinades based either on your own personal tastes or on what supplies you happen to have on hand in your kitchen.
Remember, the longer your meat marinates, the richer the flavors produced. With a little bit of forward thinking, you can gather your ingredients, prepare your marinade, and allow enough time for truly rich flavors to develop.
Fluid Shelf Technology, Thermodyne’s revolutionary heating method, is designed to continuously circulate heat throughout each shelf in the Holding Cabinet. With 100% distribution from top to bottom and left to right, each of our Commercial Food Warmers and Electric Food Warmers provides an exact and even temperature. With no circulating air and continuous heat, food can be held for extended periods of time without fear of overcooking or drying out. Additionally, with heat in the shelf rather than the air, food is protected from unstable environments such as door openings, hot spots, and additional air flow. With no risk of temperature fluctuation, kitchens enjoy reduced shrinkage and product waste as well as less energy consumption.
