SO, how was it?

If your marinating sauce is acidic you should only let it marinate for an hour or two as the acidity in the marinade will start to cook the meat.

Anyways as you seen I didn't wait a week remembering a myth busters episodeExtremeBurn said:

I did not know this about acidic liquids. thanks for sharing this info!
my post you quoted was me stating 2 days is plenty for marinating most things, though you dont have to go that long & I wouldnt go beyond 2 days either unless for something that might require it (though I dont know what)
not all marinations are acidic.
even if the marination was acidic, this being me, I would still marinate it longer that 1 hour. I dont think in 1 hour the flavors can penetrate the meat enough.
& wouldnt the acid also kill the bacteria ? (if any formed)
& if not, cooking would IMO.
phat - the steak looks so so.
thats the best I can say cuz I know it was marinated w/ dr.pepper, heck in the pic it looks like its carmelized in dr.pepper!

I have to be honest, the marinde looks like it turned to burnt tar, and the steak is sitting in cooking oil on the plate, not my kind of steak but glad you like it.

It doesn't really hurt anything to marinate it longer... it just starts cookin the meat and has no real benefit beyond a certain point. It's just the chemist coming out in me haha. I do marinate longer than an hour usually as well, but with some marinades there isn't any benefit in goin much longer than that, and then of course others which aren't as acidic, you can obviously and should marinate much longer. In meats, the acid causes the tissue to break down, allowing more moisture to be absorbed and giving a juicier end product. However, too much acid can be detrimental to the end product. A good marinade will have a delicate balance of spices, acids, and oil.

Hey Hey ChileHunter!chilehunter said:
I didn't know you were a chemist?
PhatManDerek said:
Yep... I got my undergrad at Michigan State and my Masters at U of M. I supervise a quality assurance chem lab and have 15 chemists that report to me. I hardly ever do lab work anymore, but sometimes I get in there and get my hands dirty. lol

And it had a good amount of heat too it.
By the way ChileHunter, I wanted to go to college to become a chemist for different reasons LOL. but I would have to have 8 math classes just before I could get into chem class.
