Mary’s Marinating Stick Review and Giveaway

This giveaway is now over. The winner is Kimberly L. Congrats!

I love products that make my life easier. Who doesn’t? I am a person who never remembers to pull dinner out the day before or anything like that. Marinate? Never happens here, because I never plan ahead that far. That is why when I heard about Mary’s Marinating Stick, I knew I had to try it out.

Mary’s Marinating Sticks are made from high grade 304 stainless steel. What you do is take your favorite aromatics (onions, garlic, celery, carrots, etc) and cut them up. You open one of these marinating sticks and place the cut up aromatics inside and then close and secure the clasp. You then insert the closed marinating stick into your piece of meat (Make sure you leave the ring outside so you can more easily be able to pull it out when done). You then cook like you normally would. After cooking, let your meat rest for around 10 minutes and then pull the stick out. That’s it! Oh yeah, and these marinating sticks are dishwasher safe!

My family loved this. I loved it because I was able to make flavorful dinners and not have to plan too far ahead. I do recommend that you use fresh ingredients in this because they dried ones (like the minced garlic and minced onion you can get in a bottle) didn’t flavor quite as well. However, the fresh ingredients gave us a much more flavorful dinner. What happened that I didn’t expect was how tender using this marinating stick will make the meat. You literally could cut some of the roasts we made with a butter knife. They were also extremely juicy.

Mary’s Marinating Sticks are a product we will be using for years to come. A pair of these sticks will marinate a roast up to 10 lbs., a leg of lamb up to 10 lbs, and/or a turkey up 18 lbs. You can also use these on pork, fish, and pretty much anything else you can think of. They even include some recipes with the marinating sticks that you can try! With Father’s Day coming up, this would make the perfect gift!

Since I love these, I know one of my lucky readers will too. Here’s what I need you to do (please put each thing you do in it’s own comment):

Ooh! These sound neat! Okay – what would I put in one … I love chicken with paprika – so maybe mix some good Hungarian paprika with some other spices (garlic, onion and sea salt!) and stick that stick right in!

For a pot roast, I’m actually going to make a roast this weekend, so I’d put some garlic, onion, thyme, celery, bay leaves, carrots, and just a few sun dried tomatoes for a little kick.

I would really love to try these, I love cooking and I love cooking gadgets!

These are so cool! I’d love to try them out! I love using different seasonings so maybe garlic, onion, green peppers, sea salt, oooh weeee, just depends on what I’m cooking.

Mary seems so down to earth.

I would put a mix of lemon, lime, garlic and herbs. It’s a recipe to make a really good tropical chicken. Then I would rotisserie it on our grill.

IH, gosh, I found it! I have been all over your blog..and its wonderful – trying to enter UBP for that great book you offered but I could not find it. I’m 70 and undergoing chemotherapy so I have a bit of chemo brain but I try. Any way. I love these sticks and would fill them with capers or shallots or garlic and of course some crytstal hot sauce.
This is a great blog. Good luck in all you do.
