Product Description Foodsaver Quick Marinator Canister is the perfect shape and size for marinating fish, poultry, and vegetables. Vacuum packaging opens the pores of food, allowing marinades to penetrate deeper and more quickly, cutting the marinating time of your favorite recipes. Foodsaver Rectangular Canisters work with all Foodsaver appliances that have an Accessory Port. Product Description 2.25qt Quick Marinator Product Reviews As far as a vaccum canister it is far superior to round containers that are availible. The nice part being that it is a better shape for leaving in the fridge and stacking things on top of it. The tray iself is made of some pretty thick plastic, its not a wimpy thing. Two parts, there is a lid with a silicone gasket around the edge and then the bowl of the tray. The bowl can be machine washed. There is a valve on the top with 3 settings. Open/Vaccum/Close. To use hook the accessory hose up to the valve in Vaccum mode and engage the pump. My 550 takes about 20+ seconds to evacuate the air out with about a pound of meat in the tray. Its kind of weird but the top is held on by vaccum pressure so if the tray is emty and you grab the top only the lid comes off. But once the vaccum is pulled they are very well held together. The tray can hold a good amount of food. I like the dimensions. It is said that using vaccum makes things marinate faster. I'm not sure how true this is as I have never done a side by side comparison. But I have observed one thing. I was making some Jerky and I put one batch in the tray and vaccumed it and put the other batch in a non-vaccum container of similar dimensions. Left both overnight. In the morning when I went mix the meats up so it would marinate evenly all of the marinate in the vaccum tray was gone, it had been sucked up by the mean. The regular tray still had marinade in it. Same meat, same basic marinate (one had chili pepper for some extra heat). The strength of the marinade seem stronger in the finished product as well. So I guess there is something to it. Either way when I marinate something for a short time I always use the vaccum (if for no other reason than to justify all the money I spent on it).
