Marinated meat in minutes

I went to a friend's last night for supper and was treated to a wonderful meal of marinated lamb with cous cous. The meat was perfectly cooked and it tasted sublime, all washed down with 1 or 2 (or 3) glasses of wine!

Whilst we were eating, I told Jill about this blog and how I was collecting things I find or hear of that may help others to relax or make their lives a little easier. So, she went away and bought back the Vacu Vin marinater she had just used to marinate the lamb!

She was so enthused about it (and I must admit the results were amazing, considering it only needs to marinate for a few minutes), that I promised I would write about it here.

Apparently it works by creating a vacuum inside the bowel, which opens up the fibres of the meat or fish, allowing the marinade to infuse right into it, within the space of a few minutes.

I would love to hear if anyone has cooked any other type of meat in this, and perhaps let me know how you found it!
