An apparatus and process for marinating foodstuffs in a short period of time. The apparatus includes a sealed vessel for holding the foodstuffs and the marinade, a valve mechanism and a pump for withdrawing air from the vessel through the valve mechanism. Upon withdrawing air from the vessel and reducing the pressure therein, the foodstuffs expand and air is drawn out of the foodstuffs, creating voids therein, and, upon opening the valve and returning the pressure therein to atmospheric, the marinade is drawn into the voids in the foodstuffs, thereby tenderizing and imparting flavor to the foodstuffs.

A process for marinating foodstuffs in a short period of time consisting only of the steps of: placing the foodstuffs in a marinade in an airtight vessel; reducing the pressure within the vessel to a level of about 15-24 in. Hg. below atmospheric pressure; allowing the foodstuffs to remain at rest in the marinade for about 3-5 minutes; introducing air into the vessel to raise the pressure therein to atmospheric; and removing the foodstuffs from the marinade.
