Yes, it came with an attachment for marinating. A plastic pan with a lid and a vacuum fitting. Put the meat in the pan with the marinating sauce and hook it up to the vacuum machine and hit the button for marinating. It cycles a few times and pulls the fluid into the meat. We have tried that o

I think, that what happens, is that the wire oxidizes. If you could clean the wire it would be fine but given the cost of a new roll, it is easier to buy a new one. Randy On 06/04/2013 9:37 PM, Alex Chamberlain wrote: On Apr 6, 2013 6:51 PM, "Greg Fiorentino" wrote: I'm by no means an exper
