I agree. I like Italian dressing. There ar other very good marinades on the market such as teriyaki and sweet n sour. I also like using salsa which also works with pork, beef and chicken.
As for length of time, overnight is best, but as many hours beforehand as you can will work and no less than 3 hours. Just my opinion. *smile* Regina Marie -----Original Message----- From: Kimsan via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Monday, April 11, 2016 9:10 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Kimsan Subject: Re: [CnD] perplexing problem.

I was just thinking! Marinate the chops in Italian dressing before grilling. Fear is just excitement in need of an attitude adjustment! -----Original Message----- From: Curtis Delzer via Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark@acbradio.org] Sent: Friday, April 08, 2016 1:56 PM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Curtis Delzer Subject: Re: [CnD] perplexing problem. thanks, I've thought of this, just hadn't yet done it, but I sure will! :) THANKS At 04:00 AM 4/8/2016, you wrote: >Try a meat mallot like this one. > >http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Pounder-Tenderizer/dp/B0000DAQ7I > >Before cooking the meat, put it on a cutting board and cover it with >either plastic wrap or wax paper.
