Tex_77 I have used the five minute marinater on vegetables & it worked well. I would gather the tumbler would work even better. I have used a few different marinates as well as the Greek Cyclops, just as you would for meat, but let it marinate a little longer.

Tex_77 I think the tumble would ruin any but the hardiest or lightest (leafy) of vegetables. I’d think vacuum sealing them, or the 5 minute marinator that calldoctoday is talking about is your best option.
The express does have settings for broccoli and another for leafy greens so that tracks with my thinking above but something like a pepper or tomato is going to get slaughtered…that might actually be a really really fun experiment!

Jonathon I know I should probably not be talking here as I have not actually used the tumbler (But, I would be willing to try it for you & provide a review, ha). I am thinking that the broccoli might be more prone to damage than the pepper. I would probably at least gut the peppers in half to get the marinate into the core & still I am thinking they would be fairly durable. Excellent point on the tomatoes, but like you said, that might be an experiment in itself. Maybe you need to devise a salsa or picco de gallo type marinate where you use the initial marinate flavor with the tomatoes, etc. to create the final salsa with the tumbler. You are very likely correct though, that hardier more solid vegetables would work best with the tumbler. Thank you for identifying all that.

Jonathon Joe Hell I tried out the Cyclops Greek Marinade using the Marinade Express Vacuum Tumbler on some chicken and it was amazing, highly recommended that marinade. I also did one chicken using Goya Picanta Marinade and it was very good as well.

I so want to get one of these, just not sure it will work properly at elevation.

lkrfletcher I asked our Application Specialist and he said he thought it would change the way the machine performed but he wasn’t sure if it would be a good thing or a bad thing. I did some google searching (always dangerous) and the consensus seems to be that vac machines are not as effective as the air is less dense so it is harder to remove as much air. I am not sure if that means that this would be 5%, 10% or 50% less though

Jonathon - Thanks for looking into this.

lkrfletcher There has to be SOME penalty for living in the Mountains, sure you have better air, gorgeous scenery, more wild life, access to amazing outdoor activities BUT I can pull a better vacuum on my tumbler…check mate!

TexLaw Canning I have an All American 941 41 Quart Pressure Canner. Now that’s a big one, but I can do 14 quarts at a time and tend to do larger volumes. Best part, this will pass to several generations. They make several smaller sizes. Every part is serviceable so can change handles and bolts as needed. Very safe with a blow-out plug if it were to ever clog. (never went off for me) Highly recommend this pressure cooker.

Chef Have the same canner…it’s been a good one and the large capacity is great when you have a lot to can.
Bigtwin Also great for any type of beans. red beans, pinto beans, cowboy beans, charro beans. 15 minutes at 15 # pressure and it comes out perfect.

I was ready to pull the trigger on a new marinade express pro (was hoping for Black Friday) but after not hearing from their customer service department and especially after readIng several bad reviews about the machine not sealing properly after a few tries and cracks in the bottom of the chamber. well I have decided not to get one. Pretty disappointed that the company would not return my call, or email. Still not even sure it would work at all at 6000 ft.

lkrfletcher That’s interesting, when I contacted customer service I had a quick response. I also haven’t had any issues with it sealing. I have to wonder if the people’s who had thier units cracked were washing them in a dishwasher?
Hopefully you can find something that works for you.

@Tex_. Yeah I am pretty bummed out. I just had a few questions for them but nothing. The users I found with cracks said no dishwasher. Rather the bottom of the drum is flat and the cracks started directly in the center. Pull a vacuum on a flat surface will always go to the least supported area. In this case the center.
I really wanted to try this it sounds like a great idea.
