Sometimes i'll brine the chops for an hour before cooking, but i find that some kosher salt and pepper is all it needs. I'll usually marinade chicken, and sometimes beef with the exception of steaks. theotherstark on "Do you marinate your meat before you cook it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-marinate-your-meat-before-you-cook-it#post-359883 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 10:15:21 +0000 theotherstark 359883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It depends on the meat.

Pork is fine without though, I think. We rarely skip maridane on chicken or beef unless it's being cooked in something else!

Just depends on what I'm feeling like cooking.

However my quick trick (for pork especially) if i can't marinate is to slice it and dredge it in something, then pan fry it just until it's really crispy, then throw it in the oven for 30 minutes. It ends up very, very juicy and tender. Basically, what yoursilverlining said. It's such a winning combo. chopsuey on "Do you marinate your meat before you cook it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-marinate-your-meat-before-you-cook-it#post-359720 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 09:25:50 +0000 chopsuey 359720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I've never made pork.. Steaks and chicken I'll just use salt and pepper usually. Or bosari salt.

Depending on how we're having the meat, we have an assortment of marinades. My mom is the best marinader ever! yoursilverlining on "Do you marinate your meat before you cook it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-marinate-your-meat-before-you-cook-it#post-359561 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 08:27:32 +0000 yoursilverlining 359561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We very rarely marinate meat – we do dry brine whole chickens for roast chicken but that’s about the closest we do to a marinade. For pork, my favorite way to prepare it is to use chops and just to sprinkle a little of this spice mix on them: <a href="http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysrussian.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeysrussian.html</a> Add a little salt, then put in a hot cast iron skillet – put a smaller heavy skillet/pot on top of the chops weighing them down, then bake for about 7 minutes per side in a 475 oven. Comes out crispy on both sides, super juicy in the middle. autumnlove on "Do you marinate your meat before you cook it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-marinate-your-meat-before-you-cook-it#post-359552 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 08:23:53 +0000 autumnlove 359552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not usually!

I should start, but I'm just too lazy to think that far ahead. mediagirl on "Do you marinate your meat before you cook it?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-marinate-your-meat-before-you-cook-it#post-359543 Thu, 25 Oct 2012 08:19:58 +0000 mediagirl 359543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't have time to marinate the pork we're having for dinner tonight so, it's going to be a 10 minute marinade tonight. I don't think I could cook pork w/o marinading it at all. Do you marinate your meats? What is your favorite type of marinade?
