HOW DO I MAKE THESE MARINADES?
Follow these quick and easy instructions.
WHICH MEATS WORK BEST WITH YOUR MARINADES?
All of them! Whether it's chicken breasts or thighs to lamb chops, steaks, turkey drumsticks or even ground meat, our marinades are blended to bring out maximum flavor in any type of meat.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO APPLY THE MARINADE?
For the best results, coat your meat evenly with the marinade making sure to cover every piece thoroughly. For maximum flavor, let the meat marinate in the fridge for at least an hour—but ideally, overnight (if you have the time).
DO I NEED TO WIPE OFF THE MARINADE BEFORE COOKING?
There's no need to wipe it off. The marinade keeps the meat moist during cooking which gives it maximum flavor.
WHY WOULD I USE YOGURT TO MAKE A MARINADE?
Yogurt is the MVP of marinades. It has this mild tang, a little zing that works with spices to get all the good flavor deep inside the meat. It also tenderizes meat naturally to keep everything moist which is important if you don’t want jerky. Yogurt's healthier too: lower fat, fewer calories and packed with probiotics. We recommend using plain, whole milk yogurt but go with any type you prefer.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO COOK THE MARINATED MEAT?
Our marinades works beautifully with any type of cooking: grilling, baking, air-frying or stovetop cooking. Just adjust cooking times based on your preferred method and enjoy delicious results every time.
CAN I FREEZE MARINATED MEAT?
Yes, you can freeze marinated meat for up to 1 month. Thaw it in the refrigerator before cooking and never re-freeze once thawed.
CAN I COOK MEAT THAT'S BEEN MARINATING OVER 24 HOURS?
If it's been REFRIGERATED, your meat can marinate beyond 24 hours. It'll be extra, extra tender but it's safe to cook and delicious to eat!
ARE THE MARINADES GLUTEN-FREE AND ALLERGEN-FRIENDLY?
Yes, our spice blends are gluten-free and made with all-natural, high-quality ingredients. There are no preservatives and no artificial flavors. However, our spice blends are made in a facility that might process some allergens so please be careful if you are prone to allergies.
DO THE SPICE BLENDS EXPIRE?
When stored in a cool, dry place, our spice blends stays fresh for 24 months. To preserve their quality, always use a dry spoon when scooping them out.
WHERE ARE THE MARINADES MANUFACTURED?
The spice blends are formulated and packaged in New York with high-quality, responsibly-sourced, all-natural ingredients. We do not use any preservatives or artificial flavors.
ARE YOU USING SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING?
We use compostable pouches and recyclable mailing boxes and we intentionally keep our packaging minimal. We encourage you to dispose of it responsibly. The planet thanks you (and so do we)!
DO I NEED TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE MARINADE?
Nope! Our marinades are fully seasoned and ready to use straight from the pouch. No extra ingredients needed!
CAN I USE THE MARINADE ON SEAFOOD?
Yes, but marinate seafood for a shorter time (~30 minutes) to avoid over-softening delicate fish or shellfish.
CAN I COOK WITH LEFTOVER MARINADE?
If the marinade has been in contact with raw meat, don’t reuse it. Instead, save a portion before adding the meat so you can use it later.
