Vacuum marinating works well, however some motion is required unless you
can fully submerge the items in marinade. I use the foodsaver jar sealer
attachment with quart mason jars for marinating small stuff like shrimp,
chicken tenders, etc.
The best consumer marinator unit I've seen is the Revo vacuum marinator
/ tumbler, and I plan to get one eventually. A friend has one and we
used it with great results marinating boneless chicken thighs and pork
loin medallions (separately) before smoking them.
