A container for holding and dispensing a marinade includes a container body, a cap, and a nozzle. The container body includes a compressible accordion-pleated wall. The cap attaches to the container body, and may include a removable central disc. The nozzle is provided for cooperating with the container body to transfer a marinade into a comestible workpiece. A user may break the removable central disc out of the cap to form an opening therein, place the nozzle below the cap and push a nozzle tube upwardly through the cap opening, and may then attach the cap to the container body such that the nozzle tube extends outwardly therefrom. A method of marinating a comestible workpiece includes steps of inserting a container nozzle into an opening formed in the workpiece, and compressing the container to shorten an accordion-pleated wall portion thereof, thereby injecting a marinade into the workpiece.
