 Last one in my current list of marinades for the end of this grilling season, but you don't have to stop using marinades. They are just as fine when used with an oven, air fryer, broiler, slow cooker, and Instant Pot.  Again, this one is from Tupperware. Credit where credit is due. Please note this recipe works equally well with fish. If you struggle like me with what to do with fish, this marinade is a simple solution to the intimidation of cooking fish. No need for a fancy grill basket, either. Just wrap the fish in foil and bake until the flesh flakes. It won't take long! I want to try this in the air fryer. 

I love marinades, especially for the grill. This marinade was originally published by Tupperware to go with a dish they sold specifically made for marinades. I own both sizes, but you don't need a special container. A good zipper-top bag (aka Ziploc) will do nicely. Just make the marinade, drop in the meat, pour in the marinade, seal it well, and put it in a container just in case of leaks in the fridge. Turn it over at least once or twice to ensure the marinade gets in all the way. 

 Oriental Marinade What can I say about this one? It's unconventional? Not really. Just not used much. If you happen to have rice wine vinegar, that really ups the ante on authenticity, but it's not a screaming necessity.  This again is from Tupperware to showcase their special marinade container, but it isn't necessary. A Ziploc bag is all you really need, but I would put the bag with the marinade in a container while in the refrigerator, just in case it leaks. 

 BASIC MARINADE At the time of this post, it's almost Labor Day, and I'm thinking grilling out! This go-to recipe will make your planning easier for this "one last blowout before fall" for most folks.  This original recipe is from Tupperware and was included when they released a marinating container that allows the cook to rotate the food inside easily. Note this recipe goes with beef, pork or chicken.
