20 Common Cooking Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Food

Marinating In a Metal Bowl

Speaking of marinades, marinating your meat isn’t as easy as throwing it in any old bowl and leaving it alone for 24 hours. Most marinades are very acidic and will react with the metal in a metal bowl. Rather than a delicious dish, you’ll find yourself digging into a meal with an odd metallic flavor.

To avoid imparting a metallic flavor to your meat, stay away from metal bowls when marinading. Instead, marinate your meat in a plastic bowl, plastic bag, or ceramic dish. These receptacles will allow your meat to soak in the flavor of the marinade without imparting any odd tastes to your food.
