Suzy's Hint: I like to use a plastic zip-type bag for marinating. It's
easier to turn the entire bag from side to side then using a bowl and
turning the meat piece by piece. It also keeps the marinade odor out of the
refrigerator...especially when you use a marinade with garlic.
Additionally, the bag takes up less shelf space than a bowl.
