Nature’s Reserve (408 River Road, Callicoon) specializes in Huacaya Alpacas to bring various gifts that won’t lose their shape as they’re worn. “I want to leave the fiber in it’s natural state,” owner Janet Threshman explains, only dying bamboo to mix with her yarn to give her product a unique color. The on-site farm store mainly sells socks and yarns including rug yarn, roving, and ski socks, as well as wrist warmers. While the farm has mainly changed over to a breeding operation, this year’s products will be available in the weeks before Thanksgiving. The store is open by appointment.

Buck Brook Alpacas STORY AND PHOTOS BY JEANNE SAGER

A step inside the farm store at Buck Brook Alpacas at 99 Bestenheider Road between North Branch and Roscoe is a step into a world of wool â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from the rugs on the floors to the earrings dangling from a display case on the wall, the products at Kara and Justin McElroy's farm are primarily made with the fiber of their 60 alpacas who can be spotted wandering the fields just up the hill from the store. The couple uses local mills to create products from what Kara calls a "high-end fiber comparable to cashmere." And for a luxurious feel, try the felted soaps, made by daughter Ryann, that take the place of a wash cloth. They'll be open Black Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and their holiday hours will be Fridays 11 a.m.- 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. - 6 p.m., and Sundays noon to 4 p.m. 807-3104. www.buckbrookalpacas. com

Fresh Turkeys • Allow 1 pound of turkey per person.

• Buy your turkey only 1 to 2 days before you plan to cook it.

• Keep it stored in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook it. Place it on a tray or in a pan to catch any juices that may leak.

• Do not buy fresh pre-stuffed turkeys.

If not handled properly, any harmful bacteria that may be in the stuffing can multiply very quickly.

Frozen Turkeys • Allow 1 pound of turkey per person.

• Keep frozen until you're ready to thaw it.

• Turkeys can be kept frozen in the freezer indefinitely; however, cook within 1 year for best quality.

• See "Thawing Your Turkey" for thawing instructions.

Frozen Pre-Stuffed Turkeys USDA recommends only buying frozen pre-stuffed turkeys that display the USDA or State mark of inspection on the packaging. These turkeys are safe because they have been processed under controlled conditions.

Image of seal of inspection for poultry DO NOT THAW before cooking. Cook from the frozen state. Follow package directions for proper handling and cooking.

Allow 1¼ pounds of turkey per person.

Thawing Your Turkey There are three ways to thaw your turkey safely — in the refrigerator, in cold water, or in the microwave oven.

In the Refrigerator (40 °F or below) Allow approximately 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds 4 to 12 pounds – 1 to 3 days 12 to 16 pounds – 3 to 4 days 16 to 20 pounds – 4 to 5 days 20 to 24 pounds – 5 to 6 days Keep the turkey in its original wrapper. Place it on a tray or in a pan to catch any juices that may leak. A thawed turkey can remain in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days. If necessary, a turkey that has been properly thawed in the refrigerator may be refrozen.

In Cold Water Allow approximately 30 minutes per pound 4 to 12 pounds – 2 to 6 hours 12 to 16 pounds – 6 to 8 hours 16 to 20 pounds – 8 to 10 hours 20 to 24 pounds – 10 to 12 hours Wrap your turkey securely, making sure the water is not able to leak through the wrapping. Submerge your wrapped turkey in cold tap water.

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT

Let’s talk turkey

A user’s guide to safely preparing your Thanksgiving Feast, Complements of the USDA Change the water every 30 minutes.

Cook the turkey immediately after it is thawed. Do not refreeze.

In the Microwave Oven • Check your owner's manual for the size turkey that will fit in your microwave oven, the minutes per pound and power level to use for thawing.

• Remove all outside wrapping.

• Place on a microwave-safe dish to catch any juices that may leak.

• Cook your turkey immediately. Do not refreeze or refrigerate your turkey after thawing in the microwave oven.

REMINDER: Remove the giblets from the turkey cavities after thawing. Cook separately.

Roasting Your Turkey • Set your oven temperature no lower than 325 °F. • Place your turkey or turkey breast on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.

• For optimum safety, stuffing a turkey is not recommended. For more even cooking, it is recommended you cook your stuffing outside the bird in a casserole. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the stuffing.

The stuffing must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. • If you choose to stuff your turkey, the ingredients can be prepared ahead of time; however, keep wet and dry ingredients separate. Chill all of the wet ingredients (butter/margarine, cooked celery and onions, broth, etc.). Mix wet and dry ingredients just before filling the turkey cavities. Fill the cavities loosely. Cook the turkey immediately.

Use a food thermometer to make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F. • A whole turkey is safe when cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 165 °F as measured with a food thermometer. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast. For reasons of personal preference, consumers may choose to cook turkey to higher temperatures.

• If your turkey has a "pop-up" temperature indicator, it is recommended

that you also check the internal temperature of the turkey in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast with a food thermometer. The minimum internal temperature should reach 165 °F for safety.

• For quality, let the turkey stand for 20 minutes before carving to allow juices to set. The turkey will carve more easily.

• Remove all stuffing from the turkey cavities.

Timetables for Turkey Roasting (325 °F oven temperature) Use the timetables below to determine how long to cook your turkey.

These times are approximate. Always use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of your turkey and stuffing.

Unstuffed 4 to 8 pounds (breast) – 1½ to 3¼ hours 8 to 12 pounds – 2¾ to 3 hours 12 to 14 pounds – 3 to 3¾ hours 14 to 18 pounds – 3¾ to 4¼ hours 18 to 20 pounds – 4¼ to 4½ hours 20 to 24 pounds – 4½ to 5 hours Stuffed 4 to 6 pounds (breast) – Not usually applicable 6 to 8 pounds (breast) – 2½ to 3½ hours 8 to 12 pounds – 3 to 3½ hours 12 to 14 pounds – 3½ to 4 hours 14 to 18 pounds – 4 to 4¼ hours 18 to 20 pounds – 4¼ to 4¾ hours 20 to 24 pounds – 4¾ to 5¼ hours

first 1 to 1 ½ hours. This allows for maximum heat circulation, keeps the turkey moist, and reduces oven splatter. To prevent overbrowning, foil may also be placed over the turkey after it reaches the desired color.

• If using an oven-proof food thermometer, place it in the turkey at the start of the cooking cycle. It will allow you to check the internal temperature of the turkey while it is cooking. For turkey breasts, place thermometer in the thickest part. For whole turkeys, place in the thickest part of the inner thigh. Once the thigh has reached 165 °F, check the wing and the thickest part of the breast to ensure the turkey has reached a safe minimum internal temperature of 165 °F throughout the product.

• If using an oven cooking bag, follow the manufacturer's guidelines on the package.

REMEMBER! Always wash hands, utensils, the sink, and anything else that comes in contact with raw turkey and its juices with soap and water.

For information on other methods for cooking a turkey, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline: 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854); www. fsis.usda.gov.

Storing Your Leftovers • Discard any turkey, stuffing, and gravy left out at room temperature longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F. • Divide leftovers into smaller portions. Refrigerate or freeze in covered shallow containers for quicker cooling.

• Use refrigerated turkey, stuffing, and gravy within 3 to 4 days.

• If freezing leftovers, use within 2 to 6 months for best quality.

Reheating Your Turkey Cooked turkey may be eaten cold or reheated.

It is safe to cook a turkey from the frozen state. The cooking time will take at least 50 percent longer than recommended for a fully thawed turkey.

Remember to remove the giblet packages during the cooking time. Remove carefully with tongs or a fork.

In the Oven • Set the oven temperature no lower than 325 °F. • Reheat turkey to an internal temperature of 165 °F. Use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature.

• To keep the turkey moist, add a little broth or water and cover.

Optional Cooking Hints • Tuck wing tips under the shoulders of the bird for more even cooking. This is referred to as "akimbo."

• Add ½ cup of water to the bottom of the pan.

• If your roasting pan does not have a lid, you may place a tent of heavy-duty aluminum foil over the turkey for the

Maintaining workout routines during the holidays getting up earlier and heading out prior to work or school. This will open up time throughout the rest of your day, and you can use that time to meet the demands of the holiday season. â&#x20AC;˘ Get a trainer or a workout buddy. It's far easier to blow off a workout when you go it alone. However, if you have a workout partner who is counting on you and vice versa, you may be less inclined to miss a workout - even when you're not especially motivated to hit the gym. â&#x20AC;˘ Try new activities. Workouts need not be limited to exercises in the gym.

Plenty of activities work the body and burn calories. Sledding, ice skating, skiing, and snowboarding are just a few winter sports that can help you stay in shape. â&#x20AC;˘ Add short, high-intensity exercises. Burn more calories in less time with high-intensity workouts. This way you won't need to schedule as much time for workouts but will still get the benefit of exercise. â&#x20AC;˘ Transform chores into exercise opportunities. See that vacuum cleaner, rake or broom as a piece of exercise equipment. While cleaning up for holiday company, turn on the radio and get your heart pumping, too. Do leg raises while you're preparing meals or do some pushups off of the kitchen counter. â&#x20AC;˘ Use your bodyweight. Even if you can't make it to the gym, rely on your own body resistance for a thorough

workout. Pushups, squats, burpees, mountain climbers, jumping rope, and lunges are some exercises that rely on bodyweight for effectiveness. â&#x20AC;˘ Periodically exercise during the day. If you have a few free moments here and there during the day, use these opportunities to exercise. By the end of the day, you may find you squeezed in an entire workout's worth of exercise over the course of several 10-minute intervals.

Exercise and fitness do not have to play second fiddle to other holiday activities. Make time for workouts, and you will be ahead of the game come the new year.

etween decking the halls, visiting family and attending holiday parties, it may seem like there is little time to maintain a workout routine during the holiday season. While the holiday season is an especially busy time of year, men and women who plan and stay dedicated to their routines do not need to let their health fall by the wayside until January.

Several studies show that people can gain anywhere from one pound to a few pounds between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Although that might not seem like a lot of weight, a report in The New England Journal of Medicine noted that many people never lose the weight they put on during the holidays.

Those who struggle to keep the weight off understand the importance of maintaining both a consistent fitness schedule and healthy eating habits. This may be challenging when the rich foods and parties synonymous with the holiday season are around to threaten healthy habits.

Here's how to stay on course. â&#x20AC;˘ Establish a regular exercise date.

Treat exercise as any other obligation on the calendar. Make it a necessity and not a luxury. Schedule time for workouts, even if it means removing something else from your agenda. â&#x20AC;˘ Don't worry about the length of your workouts. If you're accustomed to an hourlong workout but cannot fit in more than 20 minutes on some days, don't skip the workout simply because it's shorter. Make the most of that time by targeting larger, core muscles. â&#x20AC;˘ Change your schedule. You may need to alter your daily schedule to fit in gym workouts or other exercise. Try

Whitetail Pale Ale newest addition to Trout Town line-up

R

OSCOE â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The Roscoe NY Beer Co, home of the Trout Townâ&#x201E;˘ handcraft beers in Roscoe, is releasing its newest beer, the Trout Town Whitetail Pale Ale. This sessionable beer, coming in at only 4.7% ABV, is the fifth beer in the Trout Townâ&#x201E;˘ line-up available in bottles in stores.

Whitetail Pale Ale differentiates itself from the other Trout Townâ&#x201E;˘ beers with its ever so lightly toasted flavor and gentle hop finish, which makes it an easy, smooth everyday drinking beer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re excited about our new brew,â&#x20AC;? explains Josh Hughes, brew master for Roscoe NY Beer Co. and maker of Trout Townâ&#x201E;˘ craft beers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Craft beer is my passion and from the beginning itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been our mission at The Roscoe NY Beer Co. to create brews that are unique and something we can believe in. We feel this beer is perfect for all beer lovers. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a true â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Why? Because of its light toasted flavor and gentle finish. I hope everyone who

drinks our Whitetail Pale Ale finds it evocative of a refreshing and relaxing day at their favorite place in the woods, by a lake, or just on their back porch.â&#x20AC;?

Staying true to the great outdoors, the Whitetail Pale Ale bottle features the story of Sonnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buck. Vince â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sonnyâ&#x20AC;?

Romano from Brooklyn, NY hunted with family and friends in Roscoe, NY through the 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. While unsuccessful in the woods for many years, he justified the time spent by connecting with the great outdoors and being part of a tight knit group at camp. After he overheard a story about a beautiful whitetail buck roaming near their hunting camp in Roscoe, his mind was set on meeting up with this creature. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sonnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Buckâ&#x20AC;? completed the journey in 1980 and the rest of the story is part of family lore. So next time you hit the Catskills visit us at the brewery, enjoy an ice-cold Trout Town handcrafted beer and ask about Sonnyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hunt for the buck that has become legendary.

aking cookies is a holiday tradition for many families.

Come the holiday season, many homes are filled with the inviting scents of vanilla, cinnamon and melting chocolate.

Baking cookies can be a social occasion in which family members and friends gather to create recipes passed down through generations. Or baking can be a solitary venture in which cookies are prepared and packaged as holiday gifts.

Either way, people who bake during the holiday season understand that making Christmas cookies can be a time-consuming, yet rewarding, process.

This year, holiday bakers can embrace a number of time-saving tips and tricks to reduce the amount of time they spend in the kitchen and possibly even improve on existing recipes.

• Use a cookie mix. Who says you have to toil and make cookies from scratch? It’s the thought that counts, and any number of creative recipes can begin by utilizing a premade baking mix. These mixes already have most of the dry cookie ingredients sifted together, including flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and sugar. All you have to do is add the wet ingredients and any extra embellishments to make the mix your own. If mixes are too much work, purchase refrigerated or frozen cookie dough. Include your own add-ins, such as nuts, white chocolate chips, bits of dried

fruit, or crumbled candy canes, to give the premade dough a unique flavor.

• Prepare ahead. Many cookie dough recipes can be made and stored for later use. In fact, refrigerating a log of cookie dough can make it easier to cut or handle later on. Spread out the bulk of your baking over two days and you might feel less taxed.

• Try a no-bake recipe.

Creative culinary experts continually reveal their clever tricks, and many of these include no-bake versions of favorite desserts. No bake cookies come together in a matter of minutes, but still employ a host of delicious ingredients. Recipes frequently feature similar ingredients to traditional cookies, but rely on chocolate, honey or peanut butter as the setting agent to keep them together.

Bakers may also like not having to turn on their ovens.

• Recycle leftover cookies. If you have a fair amount of cookies remaining or several that broke apart or do not look good enough to serve, never fear. Such cookies can be used as part of another delicious dessert. Grind cookies into crumbs that can serve as a pie crust for pudding pies or nobake cheesecakes, or mix cookie crumbs with cake frosting or a nut butter and roll into balls. Dunk the balls into melted chocolate, add a lollipop stick and make delicious cookie pops.

Cookies may be holiday traditions, but there are ways to reduce the amount of work and time required of holiday baking.

Tips for first-time holiday dinner hosts

H

osting a holiday meal for loved ones provides an exciting opportunity to bring family and friends together during a special time of year. First-time hosts may be a little nervous and put pressure on themselves to make the meal just right.

But there are a few tricks of the trade novices can employ to calm their nerves and enjoy their first foray into holiday hosting.

• Go with what you know. Experimenting in the kitchen can be fun, but such experimentation should be avoided when hosting for the holidays. When planning the menu for your holiday dinner, choose a main course that you have prepared in the past. Familiarity can calm your nerves, and you’re less likely to forget key ingredients when preparing a meal you have made several times in the past. If you want to experiment a little, do so with desserts that you can prepare and test for taste several days in advance. If the desserts don’t pan out, you will still have a few days to find an alternative.

• Get a head start wherever possible.

The day friends and family are coming to visit figures to be hectic. In addition to preparing the meal, hosts must also ready their homes so they can create a welcoming environment for their guests. Once you have chosen the menu, look for items that can be prepared in advance of the big day.

Desserts can often be made several days in advance, as can certain side dishes. Do as much prep work for the main course the night before the meal as possible.

won’t run out of ingredients once you start preparing the meal.

• Double check your pantry. Even if you’re making a meal you have made a dozen times in the past, peruse your pantry to make sure you have every ingredient you’re going to need. If you’re used to making the meal for four people but will now be making the meal for 12 of them, make sure you have enough of each ingredient to make the meal in bulk. To make things easier, update your recipe to reflect the additional guests before going to the grocery store. Doing so guarantees you

• Ask about food allergies. While hosts don’t need to cater to every food allergy under the sun, ask each guest if there is any particular food or ingredient they absolutely must avoid. If enough guests admit they must avoid a particular dish, you then know not to prepare it. In addition, have plenty of vegetables on hand for guests who are vegan or vegetarian.

Holiday hosting is fun, and first-time hosts can make it even more fun by employing a few veteran tricks of the trade.

• Ask guests to bring nonessential items. Guests will likely offer to bring something to the holiday dinner, and there’s nothing wrong with accepting help. But don’t ask guests to bring items that are essential to the meal, as that can delay the meal if guests get stuck in traffic or show up late. Instead, ask guests to bring a bottle of wine, a small dessert or even some snacks guests can eat while waiting for the main course.

Holiday hosting how-to: Party pointers from three of Napa’s premier winemakers

T

he holiday season is about to hit full swing. This special time of year is synonymous with many things, including gatherings with family and friends.

Each year, holiday hosts face the challenge of setting their seasonal soirées apart from all the other parties guests attend between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Such a challenge is nothing three of Napa Valley’s top winemakers haven’t faced before. Each year, Chimney Rock Winery’s Elizabeth Vianna, Markham Vineyard’s Kimberlee Nicholls and Rutherford Hill’s Marisa Taylor play host to family and friends and each have their own unique take on holiday hosting.

Break free from first-time jitters It’s common to feel pressure when hosting a holiday get-together for the first time. Many families have traditions that date back several decades, so being tasked with carrying on those traditions can sometimes be daunting. But Taylor, a wine country native and veteran host, notes that honoring family traditions while simultaneously creating a festive and fun atmosphere is nothing to be afraid of.

“People are sometimes intimidated by holiday entertaining,” says Taylor, whose Rutherford Hill Merlot has long been a benchmark for Napa Valley varietals. “But the truth is, just a few small touches can create an ambiance that elevates the whole experience. I think it even makes the food and wine taste better!”

Taylor incorporates family history with her own unique hosting touches by bringing out vintage family photos and heirlooms that guests can pass around her stylishly decorated dinner table.

Let new traditions take root Another way for hosts to set their holiday parties apart from the masses is to try something new at the dinner table. Each year, Vianna, who presides over the production of the popular Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignons, hosts a special kind of

dinner for friends who help her get through the often exhausting harvest season. Dubbed “Friendsgiving,” the celebration takes place at the end of autumn harvest season and includes friends, family and colleagues who contributed to another successful harvest. Vianna even encourages “Friendsgiving” guests to bring a postcard from somewhere around the world to use as a dinner table place card. This simple, yet creative idea inspires interesting conversation at Vianna’s holiday table, and hosts can incorporate their own creative touches to make their parties more memorable and enjoyable. For example, each year, Nicholls, whose award-winning varietals at Markham include Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, assembles a graceful tablescape using marble and wood serving trays, vintage tablecloths and a tiered cake stand to create an elegant display guests won’t soon forget.

The more the merrier Family always make the holiday dinner guest list, but Nicholls notes that holiday hosting is about opening our homes to people, whether those people share our last names or not.

Inviting some fresh faces can stimulate engaging conversation and lift the spirits of someone who might not be able to make it home for the holidays.

“I’ve been known to invite people I meet at Markham winery who might not have anywhere else to go for the holidays,” says Nicholls. “Somehow there’s always enough food.”

To enjoy a Napa Valley holiday of your own, Chimney Rock, Markham and Rutherford Hill wineries are offering a chance for two lucky winners to visit Napa Valley complete with airfare, lodging, behind-thescenes vineyard tours, VIP lunches with scenic views overlooking the Valley and even the chance to blend your own Merlot. Visit the Napa Valley Holiday Pinterest page at www.pinterest.com/NVHoliday for more information.

How to host an eco-conscious holiday event

any families anticipate holiday gatherings for months.

Such gatherings bring together friends and family members who may not see one another much throughout the year.

Food tends to be plentiful at holiday gatherings, so it should come as no surprise that the holiday season generates a good deal of waste. In addition, energy consumption is high during the holiday season. The United States Environmental Protection Agency says household waste generally increases by 25 percent between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day — equalling about 1 million extra tons of waste. The Worldwatch Institute states that the same period of time generates three times as much food waste as other times of the year.

Making the holiday season more sustainable does not mean families must give up their cherished traditions. Here are several tips to help make your holiday celebrations a bit more eco-friendly.

• Cut down on packaging. When shopping, seek items that are minimally packaged or shop at retailers that offer package-free products.

Packaging accounts for a considerable portion of the trash that ends up in landfills. Shopping at local stores and craft fairs can help you avoid too much plastic packaging.

• Decorate with efficient products.

Making a home look festive is part of many families’ holiday celebrations. Opt for LED holiday lights, which last longer and use a fraction of the energy of traditional lights. Use soy or beeswax candles and incorporate as many natural items, such as

GIFT GUIDE

SULLIVAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT

fresh evergreen boughs, branches and berries, as you can find in your decorations.

• Shop smart. Shop at food stores that stock local products so foods do not have to travel great distances to reach your table. Take advantage of local farm stands and other vendors that pop up in the autumn. Remember to bring reusable shopping bags with you on any shopping excursions so you can reduce your reliance on paper and plastic bags.

• Reduce food waste. People often cook extra food for the holidays out of fear of not having enough for guests.

But leftovers often end up going to waste. Use planners to determine how much food to cook for the number of guests you will be having. Keep portion sizes healthy by selecting smaller dinner plates and providing foods that are hearty and will fill guests quickly, such as rich proteins and complex carbohydrates. When the meal is done, promptly wrap up leftovers so they don’t spoil.

• Use reusable dishes. Avoid paper and plastic dishes, instead opting for ones that can be used again and again.

Take out your fine china or a festively patterned service set to use. Keep the dishwasher empty so that you can load it up with dirty dishes and run a full load to save even more energy.

• Reuse gift wrapping and accessories. Save wrapping paper and other decorative paper products to use as gift wrap at a later date. Keep a container full of bows and ribbons that are still in good condition as well.

Gift bags can often be used several times before they begin to exhibit signs of wear and tear.

Mastering Marinades G

rilled foods boast inviting flavors that put many diners on the lookout for second helpings. Quite often the magic behind grilled meals lies in the marinade used to give foods that flavorful kick.

Marinades can be used to enhance the flavor of meats, vegetables and poultry. While marinades add flavor, they also may be responsible for some other benefits in grilled foods.

Marinades add flavor Defined as a savory acidic sauce in which food is soaked to enrich its flavor, marinades help break down fiber and tenderize certain foods. The base of many marinades include vinegar, lemon juice or wine, and marinades can be enhanced with spices, oil and herbs.

It’s important not to let foods sit in marinades for too long, as any alcohol, acid or salt in the mixture can chemically “cook” the food in a process known as “denaturing.” Adhere to timing recommendations when using store-bought marinades, and keep such guidelines in mind when using homemade marinades as well. Many may tell you to let foods sit no longer than four hours. Marinades with citrus juices may require even less time for flavor to penetrate.

The timing of marinade use also will depend on the

foods being marinated. Delicate items, such as seafood, may change with regard to texture or color in a matter of minutes.

It’s important to always marinate foods in the refrigerator. Food left sitting out on a counter — even when it’s in a marinade — invites the growth of bacteria. If a recipe calls for marinating at room temperature, continue to marinate in the refrigerator, but extend the length of time you marinate. This helps to prevent foodborne illnesses.

When marinating, use plastic or glass containers so the marinade does not cause a chemical reaction, which may occur if you marinate foods in metal containers. Discard all marinades for raw meats and poultry when the time comes to cook the foods, as leftover marinades may contain bacteria that makes them unsafe to reuse on other foods.

The nutritional benefits of marinating In addition to flavor, marinades may improve the nutritional value of grilled foods. In 2008, researchers at Kansas State University discovered that marinating meat in antioxidant-rich spice blends can reduce the risk of forming heterocyclic amines, or HCAs, by more than 80 percent. HCAs are harmful, cancer-causing compounds that form when food chars over an open flame at high temperatures. Marinades must be rich in spices to have any HCA-busting properties.

Marinades are a secret weapon in the creation of tasty, tender and healthy foods. They come in quite With their mix of acidic ingredients and spices, handy when grilling, and add an extra dose of flavor marinades add flavor and may even pack some nutritional punch. when cooking over high heat.
