Household marinators

Well, somewhere for half a year, maybe more ...

Hello everyone.
They gave me a marinator for the new year, so I'm trying to use it quietly. I reread the topic, found several recipes for myself, tried it, liked it. But still there are questions, maybe experienced marinators))) will be able to answer me.
The question is on the principle of action.
I would like to understand for myself the necessity / necessity of this thing. It only speeds up the process by vacuum and overturning, or it does something else. That is, if I put the same cabbage or mushrooms in the refrigerator overnight, and do not do it in 30 minutes, will there be the same result?
And I really want to ask for the recipes.
For example, I want to marinate celery (root), I was looking for recipes in the net, but everything is with vinegar, I have a small child, I don't want to abuse vinegar, I know that you can still marinate it with lemon juice. But with lemon I can't find a recipe (((Maybe someone can tell me, the proportions are of interest.
And in general I will be very very grateful for any recipes not with vinegar, but with lemon.
Thanks a lot in advance!

girls, I want to marinate green tomatoes. please share the recipe who has it, but I didn't find it here

Something the topic has long died out ... Today I bought VES VMR13. I went to read what was discussed here earlier.

I searched the Internet and decided to cook mackerel according to this recipe.

Mackerel in the marinator

mackerel 2pcs
1 tbsp. l. salt with a slide
1 tsp Sahara
3 tbsp. l. coriander
2 tbsp. l. vinegar
2 tbsp. l sunflower oil
3 goals onions.
3 cloves of garlic
Mustard and pink peppercorns.
Paprika, some black and red peppers. And sweet peas.

We mix everything into a marinator. I cut the mackerel into 2 parts. I cleaned it already on leaving the marinator.

I have a VES VMR13 marinator. There is recommended 15 minutes for fish. Now I think, when the author of the recipe wrote about 3 cycles, maybe it meant that 45 minutes? I made the fish in the evening, so I didn't open it until lunchtime. Here's what happened:

Of course, I love almost raw salmon (salted overnight in salt and sugar). But for some reason she didn't risk the mackerel. The pieces with red parts were sent back to the marinator for another 15 minutes. While eating those parts that were without blood. Despite the fact that I love everything lightly salted, it seemed quite some unsalted. But it's still very tasty. I salted my own a little, my husband was already chopping. I would also like to note that I read that someone immediately cuts, and someone marinates whole carcasses. From those who immediately cuts, there were reviews that it turns out "shaggy", in the sense of falling apart. I decided to cut off the heads, clean out the guts and cut the carcass in half. From two thick (about 600 g.) Fish, 4 pieces turned out. Of these, only one was marinated well in 15 minutes. But the onion, by the way, turned out to be salty for me. So I thought that just the salt badly soaked the fat fish. And indeed, with the second part, which had already been cut by 1 cm, it was already normal with salt. And nothing she fell apart. In the area of ​​the tail, it is generally excellent. A bit frayed around the edges, where the head was cut off. Not so much this marinator shakes her inside, as I thought. Neatly and gently turns in the flask. Next time I will cut it right away.
And another moment about spices. I did not add paprika, red pepper, mustard seeds and pink pepper, because there was none. I love coriander, but here it somehow got in the way. Even if there was a whole carcass, then it would be easy to peel it off before cutting. And when it is already cut, then 3 tbsp. l. lots of. The husband asked not to put it next time.Especially in the bow he strained. Next time I'll take 1 spoon and crush it in a mortar. I think the taste won't lose much. If you like spicy salting, then it is better to use recipes where the marinade is cooked separately, and then pour it strained to the fish.

[Tiramisu]

Tiramisu, Lena, thanks for the newly discovered, and most importantly, tested recipe. We love mackerel, we must try to cook it (I have a Supra marinator, I haven't used it for a long time, but I saw the fish and wanted to marinate).

Pork ribs in soy sauce

Pork ribs - 500 gr
Soy sauce - 5 tbsp l.
Honey - 1.5 tbsp. l.
Garlic - 1 clove
Water 1.5 tbsp.
Seasonings to taste
Fold the ribs in a marinator, pepper and season to taste. Prepare the marinade: add water, honey, garlic to the soy sauce, mix well. Pour the ribs with the resulting marinade and scroll in the marinator for 3 cycles. Then you can stew or bake in the oven. I stewed in a slow cooker along with the marinade. The ribs are delicious.

Devchuli, I have an improvisation today, which is available. A package of chicken breasts, some soy sauce, some 6% vinegar, grilled meat seasoning, 4 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of sour cream. I loaded everything into the marinator for two cycles and fried it in the Miday grill. It turned out to be a very juicy and sooo tasty breast.

Girls, the pump broke in 9 minutes. Maybe someone saw them on sale?

I use a vacuum bag pump for storing clothes, which I bought in a fixed price list. I just cut off the nose and pulled the gum from my own pump (I dressed like my own). Sucks air in two breaths.
And how many of these pumps I threw away ... They were in each package at the same time.

[Vinochek]

Vinochek.. I bought a spare vacuum pump in the Seven Hills. It cost about 100 rubles. I tried it - it pumps out the air.

Eh! We have neither Seven Chromium, nor Fixprice (((

[Vinochek]

Vinochek, Well then with a vacuum cleaner ...

Ozone has a Status pump for 403 rubles. He walks over to the marinator.

Thank you, went to watch!

For a long time Temka is silent ((, for a long time (a couple of years) and I did not get the marinator. But the last week I got it and - cabbage aunt Besi, lightly salted cucumbers, mushrooms, zucchini. Tasty how everything is and fast! The device was undeservedly cast! Now I think to buy my daughter as a gift - for the holidays all our guests and her guests have checked out the goodies from the marinator! And also the cooking speed)))
