"Hello! This is Chef Sean Roe on behalf of expertvillage.com. As we move towards the cooking aspect of this segment, I would like to review marinades.

Use these 1 to 3 part; 1 part acid to 2 parts oil, somewhat like a vinaigrette. Different marinades you can use of course for acids are wines and other alcohols. You can use vinegars, citrus juices work very nicely and even tomato products as tomato has a high acid content.
