Spring has arrived. The picnic season will soon begin.

One of the most popular dishes that is usually eaten while relaxing outdoors is shashlik.

Before cooking meat on the grill, the product must be marinated.

The procedure is necessary to "seal" the juices inside the pieces. If the meat is not marinated, the shashlik will most likely turn out tough and dry.

Usually, pieces of meat are placed in kefir, vinegar, mayonnaise or pomegranate juice.

It is generally accepted that the procedure should take several hours. But if you cheat, then the meat for shashlik can be marinated in a quarter of an hour.

What's the trick?

The pieces of meat need to be placed in a bag and filled with mineral water.

The bag must be closed immediately so that the gas bubbles remain in the liquid for a long time.

You can simply tie the bag. But it is better to use a package that has a clasp.

Next, the bag with all its contents must be thoroughly kneaded by hand. The procedure must be performed without stopping.

The process is not simple. However, after 15 minutes the meat will be ready to start grilling.
