Burning marination

[Number 18]

Hello,

Whatever the marination is, it burns before the meat/poultry/ vegetables are cooked.

help

A little help. What is your cooking method?

18, probably has alot of sugar in it. Just a guess, but like Craig said, a little help.

Thanks guys.

Whatever method electrical grill, stir-fry, even just using a pan with little oil.

And not just the sweet marination, all of them even the one that contains oil and vinegar with seasoning, where the seasoning burn lol, not funny.

Have you tried patting the meat dry before cooking? The marinade has imparted its flavor so wiping it off the surface shouldn't mess with the flavor. I assume you are talking about wet marinades.

Yes wet, and yes I do pat before placing them, I don't get it why it burns, what temperature should I choose? low, low-med, med, med- high, high?

[BigAL]

Try to sear/direct heat first then move to lower/indirect heat, or try the reverse of that and go indirect first, then sear at the end.

just an idea.

Hmm, I thought of cooking before marinating, and when its well cooked I just brush the marination and let it for a few mins then remove before burning.

What do you think?

No. Don't even consider that.

The problem is not the marinade; the problem is your cooking technique.

Tell us more about the time and temp of your cookery as well as what kinds of pots/pans you use.

Ouch

I've tried tefal and stainless steal and both give the same result.

I use the highest temp number 6 (1-6) electrical stove.

no time, just wait till they are cooked, I take a piece and cut it in half and see if its still raw I cook it a little more.
