Marinade
What is marinade?
Good marinade will add flavor to your
favorite meat and make it more tender and
juicy. Making a marinade is very simple. All
you need are three basic components.
What is marinade?
1. The first, is an acid, such as lemon juice, vinegar, yogurt,
or wine. The acid is important as it breaks down the meat
and tenderizes it.
2. The second, is oil. This protects and preserves the food
while marinated and also when it‘s being cooked.
3. The third, is any herb and/or spice. This is what gives a
marinade its unique flavor and zest. Feel free to
experiment by grouping one or more ingredients from
each component.

Effects of Heat
to Meat
1. It tenderizes connective tissue if moisture is present and
cooking is slow.
2. It coagulates protein. Even meats low in connective tissue
can be tough and dry if cooked at excessively high heats
for too long.
3. High heat toughens and shrinks protein and results in
excessive moisture lost.
4. Roasts cooked at low temperature shrink less and loss
less moisture.
5. Moist heat penetrates meat quickly. To avoid over
cooking, meat should be simmered, never boiled.
