The achiote paste turns everything red, so I use glass to marinate the meat, and bake it. Please try it, this is absolutely delicious. You can also eat this over rice. Becca |

The color is fine, but it will stain plastic. Becca |

I marinate in zip-loc bags, requires far less marinade for the same results, and easy to flip bags every few hours, also with sealed bags the marinade won't stink up your fridge... and then easy clean up... simply toss the bags. However it's a good idea to place the plastic bag with meat and marinade into a vessel just in case a bag leaks, rare but it happens. You may also want to think about using tamarind and regular orange juice in your marinade rather than pineapple and lemon... or use them all. |
