Designed to help the food enhance its natural flavor, with a vacuum seal, as well as enhancing the flavor with a spiced marinade, the product worked great on our recipes. At just under $40 it’s a pretty solid value compared to higher end products on the market. Vacu Vin isn’t a high end brand but the product flat out works, so we’ll happily choose it over more established brands that cost into the hundreds. One drawback is that is can only hold a limited volume, so if you’re preparing large meals you’ll have to purchase multiple products to ensure that you can marinated everything you need to. Vacu Vin did increase the volume from the previous generation and you can now fit larger roasts, but big family holiday meals will still not quite meet the capacity requirements.

In our tests, we stored food overnight and had great results with Vacu Vin, which retained all of the flavor and freshness. Probably the best feature is that it’s entirely dishwasher safe, which is great for those who are weary of hand cleaning after a solid marinade is complete – the good news is that it comes out solidly clean after washing. We used the previous model for years, and gladly upgraded to the new Vacu Vin. The company is known to stand behind its products and is quick to respond to inquiries, so we can recommend the product to our readers.

To start, you’ll want to select four wild Alaskan salmon (roughly 6-8 ounces each) – the best salmon will be fresh, although you can also thaw out frozen if that’s all that’s available. There is a major difference between wild and farmed salmon, so always make sure to choose the former. Next you’ll want a few fresh tomatoes – you can select any variety, but we recommend vine ripened organic tomatoes for the best dish. Next, you’ll want to pick up some fresh basil and a few cloves of garlic for seasoning. On top of that you’ll need some fresh ground pepper, kosher sea salt and some olive oil. Additionally, you can add a small red onion, which you’ll dice to add some flavor. The secret to this recipe is a spice mixture that you’ll use to season the fish, which is comprised of cayenne pepper, paprika, cumin, thyme, rosemary, allspice and cinnamon – combine a teaspoon of each for a great seasoning.

Begin by rubbing the spices into the fish, and then combine the additional vegetables and spices in your marinade (save the garlic and onion) and let sit overnight. You’ll want to grill the salmon at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes each side. Then remove the salmon from the grill and add to a pan with olive oil, onion and garlic, and let cook for a few minutes until it’s perfectly suited for serving.

To start, you’ll want a pound of lean steak, along with some salt and pepper for the main dish. The marinade is comprised of olive oil (¼ cup), minced garlic (1 glove), a tablespoon of red wine vinegar, ¼ cup honey and ¼ cup of low sodium soy sauce. You’ll want to make sure that you place some incisions in the meat so that the marinade works particularly well. Many marinaters work best overnight, although you should also be able to get away with a few hours. Mix the ingredients in your marinater with the meat, and then remove it and add the pepper and salt.

Cook the meat on an olive oil coated tray, and cook on high for about 15 minutes – if you have a grill, make sure to turn it half way between. You’ll want to make sure the inside is well cooked according to your preferences – we recommend medium well, although you can also try medium rare if that if you preferences. Slice the steak thin and top with a home made sweet salsa for your guests’ enjoyment.
