Hmmm. Interesting. The one I have now will suck the marinade out, so I use
Zip Locks and sink them in a sink full of water to get out the air bubbles.
Then either refrigerate of put it in the freezer and let it self-marinate.
And what you said about rotating the bag every so often when it is thawed.
Had a pork loin roast on Christmas day in the Dutch Oven, and it was great.
I made a ton of potatoes and gravy in the DO, and my guests ate darn near
all of it. They were having seconds and thirds.

Which brand and models are you guys referring to? I'd like to look at one.
Mine is still working and getting old. May be time to get the one with that
feature.
