A a trained chef, meat should be kept at the proper temperature until it is cooked, so you should make your marinade place meat in it and refrigerate until cooking.

Marinating is a way for your meat to become more tender. It would also add flavors on your meat and that depends on which ingredients you've added. These ingredients are vinegar and spices. Vinegar can substitute lemon juice or wine instead.

Be sure to wash your hands with soap and hot water before and after handling raw meat to prevent spreading bacteria. As for marinating, try for a minimum five hours.

The key is to keep the meat cool and keep everything else clean. The meat should be kept in a spill-proof container in the fridge usually for a few hours.

Always wash your hands before and after handling raw meat. If you want to avoid a mess, wear plastic gloves. Make sure to not touch your face or lick your fingers while dealing with the raw meat. When marinating, get some zip lock bags and place the sliced meat into the bag, toss around the bag, then let sit.

Always wash your hands after handling the meat. Don't let your hands touch the marinade after you have touched the meat. After you marinade your meat throw the left over marinade away. This marinade that has been in contact with the meat has the potential of giving you E-Coli or Salmonella poisoning.
