## How Marinade Amounts Are Calculated

### Formula

**Total Marinade = Meat Weight (lbs) x Coverage Factor**

The standard ratio is about 1/2 cup of marinade per pound of meat.

### Classic Marinade Ratio

- **50% oil**: Carries flavor, helps browning
- **25% acid**: Tenderizes surface, adds tang (vinegar, citrus juice, wine)
- **25% seasoning**: Garlic, herbs, spices, soy sauce, etc.

### Marinating Times

- **Fish/seafood**: 15-30 minutes
- **Chicken/pork**: 2-12 hours
- **Beef/lamb**: 4-24 hours
- **Vegetables**: 30 min-2 hours

计算示例

Marinade for 2 lbs of chicken thighs, standard coverage.

  1. Total marinade = 2 x 0.5 = 1 cup.
  2. Acid (vinegar/citrus) = 1 x 0.25 = 0.25 cups (4 tbsp).
  3. Oil = 1 x 0.50 = 0.50 cups (8 tbsp).
  4. Seasoning = 1 x 0.25 = 0.25 cups (4 tbsp).
