New Reveo Meat Marinating Appliance for Home Chefs: A Perfect Holiday Gift.

CHICAGO -- Introducing commercial-grade marinating technology that achieves previously unattainable flavor and moisture at home

The new Reveo offers the home chef a faster, better way of marinating above traditional bag soak methods. It is the vacuum marination technology that's been used for decades by butchers and professional meat processors that creates levels of flavor long unattainable at home. Just in time for holiday gift giving, the Reveo, a home kitchen appliance, now gives backyard grill guys and passionate home chefs a way to obtain a significant flavor boost in minutes, while virtually eliminating advance prep time. The Reveo's combined automated commercial-grade vacuum pump plus tumbling action provides better taste and tenderization in 10 minutes than even overnight pan marination.

While traditional methods of marination only coat the surface of meat, resulting in flavor that burns off on the pan or grill, the Reveo's MariVac(TM) pump removes pressure from the Reveo's barrel, stretching fibers of food so it can soak up marinade like a sponge. The automated tumbling action of the rolling barrel then massages marinade to the core of the food, tenderizing it and ensuring maximum absorption for juicier results. Food in the Reveo absorbs enough marinade to add up to 20 percent moisture, additionally minimizing errors in overcooking.

In addition to marinating any meats, including wild game, the Reveo also greatly increases the flavor in seafood, vegetables and fruit. Marination times vary, ranging from two minutes for shrimp to 20 minutes for a whole chicken. The Reveo is more efficient than other marination techniques, requiring only half of the typical amount of marinade while producing juicier, more flavorful cuts of meat.

"Let's face it, some people, especially men, are just hard to buy for. The Reveo is the perfect gift for grill-guys and home chefs who like to show their creativity with food. The best thing about the Reveo is you get better tasting meals without having to think about it the night before. The Reveo does for flavor what the microwave did for cooking time," states Rob Eastman, president of Eastman Outdoors(R).

Chefs can create their own marinade concoctions to suit their diet needs and personal tastes, or use the Eastman Outdoors line of Reveo Dry Marinade Bases optimized for use with the Reveo MariVac system. Flavors include Rasta Riot(TM) Jamaican Jerk, LemoNation(TM) Lemon Pepper, Italian Renaissauce(TM) Zesty Italian, Hive Uprising(TM) Honey Mesquite and Screamin' Samurai(TM) Teriyaki.

The Reveo is easy to clean and store. Its barrel and lid are stain resistant and dishwasher safe. The Reveo is available at Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse and Barbecues Galore or online at www.freethemeat.org and Amazon.com. The Reveo retails for $199.99 and the Reveo Dry Marinade Bases retail for $4.99 per can.
