Sorry about your Sunday. I am waiting for Sam's to open and will call about
the Foodsaver. When I asked you about it, I was thinking primarily about
storing frozen stuff; but on rereading your post, I see that you prepare
food for grilling that way. That sounds interesting. Does it speed up and
intensify marination? For fish? For chicken? If you are using a liquid,
what keeps the vacuum tube from sucking the liquid right out?
