Marinating Containers - Bags

Former Member

I like to use 15-20 Qt plastic containers to marinate my meats in overnight but I hate washing them at the end of the day.

What do other people use?

I'm interested in marinating bags or plastic bags that I can line the plastic containers with and just dispose of them when empty.

Based on the time and energy to wash, rinse, sanitize and air dry each container, I'd pay up to $0.50-1.00 per bag. Plus this cuts down the risk of cross-contamination.

Container dimensions are around 17"L x 11 1/8"W x 6 3/8"H

Try using the Metal disposable catering pans. Use foil to cover them. When you are done, just collapse them, fold them over a couple of times, and they hardly take up any room in the trash container.

That would meet my cost criteria, but it's my understanding that most metals, especially aluminum shouldn't be used as marinating containers if the marinade is acidic. One of mind contains lemon juice and another one has quite a bit of habenero peppers in it.

Use a Reynolds cooking bag......cost about $3.00 for 5 large bags. Probably find them cheaper in a larger box.

I buy the 2 gal freezer size in bulk and works a lot better for me.
