tips & tricks
You can cook Meati much like you cook animal meat: pan sear, bake or grill. Fortunately, Meati cuts do not overcook or burn as easily as actual meat. Find more recipes and cooking instructions in the Meati Kitchen.
Add Meati to a stew or soup toward the very end of its preparation. Meati absorbs flavor and liquids incredibly well – while you might marinate meat for hours, you could be good to go marinating Meati for just 15 minutes. In fact, leaving Meati submerged in liquid for long times may get in the way of the ideal mouthfeel. Learn more and find recipes here in the Meati Kitchen.
Season your Meati like you would chicken or beef, but for no longer than 2 hours before you’re ready to heat! Apply a slight amount of oil to the outside and then grill! We recommend checking out specific instructions for cooking here, as times vary based on the Meati cut and whether it’s frozen or thawed. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
Season Meati Classic Cutlets like you would a chicken breast or thigh. You can find some ideas here, and follow us on Instagram for more tips and tricks!
Meati absorbs flavors incredibly well. Give our Classic Cutlet (and Classic Steak) as little as 15 minutes and up to two hours in a marinade, and it should be good to go. Just 20 minutes or so often produces a great result. Bear in mind, the characteristics of your marinade matter here:
- Viscous marinades — think barbecue sauce — won't be absorbed as quickly. These could likely work well for longer immersion periods. As viscosity goes down, so should the marination duration.
- The more acidic the marinade , the faster it will be absorbed. Citrus juices, for example, will get into Meati quickly.
- Fatty marinades — those using olive oil, for example — work well and fall somewhere in the middle range of how long Meati should be immersed in them.
- Salt in all marinades will be readily picked up by Meati. If you want to play it safe, you can always add salt after your dish is prepared with little if any impact on the overall eating experience.
