French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades Review

August 21, 2013 by Susan Bewley

Like many of you, I stress out about dinner time. Many people think because I work at home that I have all the time in the world, and that I could always put a home cooked dinner on the table. Personally, I would love if this happened, since it wouldn’t mean we are sometimes eating at 8 or 9 at night after finding something quick to fix. It’s even worse when I find this amazing, simple recipe on Pinterest that I think everyone in my family will love. As I’m getting the ingredients out and ready to go, I find out that I have to make a homemade marinade that has to sit in the fridge overnight. Of course this is definitely what I want to see when I’m in a hurry! They may be great for a weekend meal, but who has the time for things like that on weeknights?

As you can guess, time is my biggest limiting factor and has recently been the reason I haven’t cooked as healthily as I used to for my family. Since I am back on my weight loss ‘lifestyle’ (I hate the word diet), I have decided I must find the time for cooking home cooked meals, leaving me looking for shortcuts that are healthy and tasty. One of the ways we talked about doing this is grilling, especially since I used to love grilling vegetables and different types of meat on my mother’s grill. I can’t tell you how excited I was for my husband to purchase our first grill. All I needed at that point was a quick, easy way to cook meat that was fast and didn’t add too many calories to our food. This is where I found what I think may be a busy woman’s best friend – French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades.

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: What are They

Like me, you probably know French’s from their selection of mustards. I have used their mustard for seasoning and cooking, but had never tried any of their marinades prior to this review. For me, this was a whole new experience with the brand, and I have to say I was pretty excited when French’s asked me if they could send some products, free of charge, to review. What makes the Flavor Infuser Marinades so innovative and different from every other marinade on the market is the infuser. While I had never heard of it, the concept is used by most professional chefs, who use an infusing tool to inject marinades into meats, allowing them to marinate meat faster and more thoroughly in a restaurant setting. With the unique design of the bottle, the Flavor Infusers are designed to insert the tip of the bottle into your preferred meat, distributing the marinade thoroughly throughout. Because it is injected, rather than simply soaking in, you can drastically reduce marinating time, bringing it from hours to a short ten minute time span. In other words, it makes properly grilling meat a 30 minute affair from start to finish, saving you valuable time! With four fun flavors – Caribbean Jerk, Zesty Italian, Classic Steak, & Sweet & Tangy Teriyaki – you can find the right flavor for just about every meal with these infusers.

The only catch is that you cannot reuse the bottles. When you cook, you need to accept that you will be throwing away some of the bottle, or cooking 3-4 pounds of meat in one go. Before I really thought about it, I couldn’t really think of any reason why I wouldn’t just put the top on it and use it later. With a bit more thought, however, I realized that this was not a good idea at all since the injecting method also means that the tip is contaminated from the raw meat. While this is perfectly fine for meat you are going thoroughly cook, it isn’t a good idea to leave it sitting on something, especially on a marinade you are planning on using on other meat! With the proper amount of planning, and some willingness to enjoy leftovers, however, you can avoid most waste.

French's Flavor Infuser Marinades

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Caribbean Jerk

Before I started cooking, I asked my husband which of the French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades he wanted to try first. I was really surprised how quickly he said the Caribbean Jerk. Looking at the information I found online, I was surprised to see this was the most allergy friendly marinade out of all the choices. It is gluten free and free of all the common allergies, such as soy, wheat, and peanut. While most things seemed to recommend it for pork, I am not a huge pork fan. While I do cook with it every once in a blue moon, I much prefer chicken. After getting our chicken trimmed and cut into friendly serving sizes, I started using the infuser in the meat. I was surprised at just how easy it was to use. I thought it would be difficult or a choice, but just as it advertised, it was super easy and mess free. The hardest part was waiting the ten minutes for it to marinade.

Luckily, the ten minutes went relatively fast, especially with a hyper dog who had been in the house all day.  As you can see, the results from the grill looked rather delicious! The best part, however, was the flavor. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the Caribbean jerk, but it was a mild, sweet flavor. In my opinion, the best part was how juice the chicken turned out. It by far was the juiciest chicken I had ever tasted! What surprised me even more was when my husband heated up the leftovers the next day – it was just as juicy, after being REHEATED in the microwave! From what I have seen so far, the French’s Flavor Infusers seem to really make a difference!

Jerk Infuser

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Zesty Italian

I won’t lie, I was really looking forward to using the French’s Flavor Infuser Marinade in Zesty Italian. We had the chicken already prepped from the night before and were ready to see how this marinade tasted. Like the Caribbean Jerk, this marinade is also gluten free, making a great choice for those who are on this type of diet. As the grill was pre-heating, I started infusing my chicken with the marinade. I found that this marinade was a bit thinner than some of the others, which is not a bad thing. It seemed to really soak into the chicken. Before I walked away to let it sit for ten minutes, I also spread some of the extra marinade on the top of the chicken, hoping it would give it even more flavor.

Once it was finished marinating, I placed our chicken pieces on the grill. When I first flipped the chicken, I knew this was going to be a delightful meal. One of the pieces of chicken accidentally stuck to the grill, showing off the lovely juiciness in the center. It had to be the hardest wait out of all the meals we had cooked. After finishing, however, we very quickly cut into it in the house. While all the marinades are delicious, this has to by far be my favorite. Out of all the Flavor Infuser marinades, this has the most kick, giving a nice mixture of sweet and spicy. I could easily see using this marinade all year round with its great flavor. I’m actually hoping the next time I purchase it to try it in the oven, seeing I can get the same results there!

Zesty Infuser

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Classic Steakhouse

When I first opened the Classic Steakhouse marinade, I will be honest, I was nervous. I’ve always messed up cooking steak. Even those fool proof recipes on Pinterest I have messed up. To me, if the French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades were going to fail, it would be here with my steak cooking skills. After trimming the steak, I put the infuser tip in the meat and got to work. The meat was quickly getting a nice, dark color, letting me know that the marinade was soaking into the meat. After what seemed like a long ten minute wait, we threw the steaks on the grill. With the thin cuts I purchased, they actually cooked faster than I expected. So much so that my husband was worried I messed up the steaks – again. To our surprise when we cut open the meat, it was juicy despite being cooked to a medium-well finish. Of course, the best part was the flavor! My steak actually tasted GOOD! I think in all my years of cooking, I had never been so excited! I actually had found a marinade that made even MY steaks taste good!

Classic Steakhouse

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Sweet & Tangy Teriyaki

To test out the Sweet & Tangy Teriyaki, I decided to try something a bit different and see how this marinade works with ground beef. I had some extra ground beef in the fridge and thought burgers would be a perfect test. Awhile back, I tried burgers with marinade infused in the middle of the burger, giving the burgers a nice, juicy flavorful treat in the center. While I had no clue how to do it before, the French’s Flavor Infuser Marinade seemed made for projects like this! Wanting to get the most flavor, I rolled each of the burgers in a ball and then infused the center of the meat with the marinade. With ground beef, you can see the meat expanding and taking in the flavor. As with the others, I had the burgers sit for ten minutes before taking them out to the grill.

Now, because this was my last marinade to test, Murphy’s law decided to kick in. Just as I was about to put the burgers on the grill – something on the grill broke. While I didn’t really get what happened, I did understand my husband telling me he would have to fix it later, leaving me quickly making dinner on the stove. While it did take a bit longer, I ended up with the most wonderful hamburgers. As you can see from the pictures, the burgers were very flavorful, even the ones that were closer to well done!  Best of all, the marinade worked just as planned, giving everyone a nice little flavorful treat in the center of the burgers!

Teriyaki

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Overall

I have made and purchased quite a few marinades over the years but I don’t think anything I have tried has topped this marinade for speed and taste. I don’t think I’ve ever had chicken this juicy! I think the secret to this marinade lies with the infuser, although the ingredients used to make the marinade certainly seemed good as well. One thing is for certain, this marinade is now becoming part of my budget and I’m planning on stocking up the next time it’s on sale. This marinade may very well become my life saver for those busy days when I don’t have time for lengthy preparation, especially since my husband feels comfortable using these as well. So, what do I think of French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades? In all honesty, I’m not sure an A+ is a high enough rating with how these seem to make just about any type of meat taste. Either way, I don’t think I could recommend this marinade enough! If you love to grill, it’s a must try in my book!

French’s Flavor Infuser Marinades: Where to Purchase

Want to try French’s new Flavor Infuser Marinades for yourself? Unlike other products that are sometimes hard to find, these marinades can be found in your local grocery store or big box retailer. As a matter of fact, they were displayed at my local Kroger last time I was in the store, and I’m planning on stocking up. With a 12 month shelf life, why not? Since they were in the aisle with all the other marinades, I’m assuming that will be where you can find them in your own preferred store as well. They are currently retailed for $2.99 a bottle, making them a bargain for quick meal nights!

    These sound like a great idea and something that really adds to the flavor of the meat. Just the fact u can cut ur marinade time to 10 minutes is really great. I would love to try the Caribbean Jerk flavor.

    I really like when you can infuse flavors into the meat you are cooking or barbequing. French's is a quality product, so I have no doubt their flavor infuser marinades are simply delicious. I want to win this!

  4. Susan P. says

    August 21, 2013 at 4:07 pm

    The throwing away of the container would be a negative but would be good for slow cooking/smoking large pieces of meat or lots of chicken pieces. I wonder if you can infuse and then freeze to cook later?

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 21, 2013 at 4:50 pm

      Yes, I saw somethign on their website about it. They recommend if you are going to do it for more than ten minutes put it in the fridge or freezer.

    I am definitely going to buy these marinades.  We love to grill, living down here in FL, the house gets so hot when you cook inside. I love adding seasonings to our meats and this seems to be the perfect solution to my flavoring problem.

  14. Deanna Turner says

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 22, 2013 at 12:22 pm

      Please tell me how it goes with the eggplant! My husband wouldn’t touch it but it sounds amazing to me!

    I have tried the Zesty Italian.  I can't wait to try the Classic Steakhouse flavor, and my daughter wants to try the Teriyaki.  The Zesty Italian was o.k. but I don't really like Zesty Italian flavor in the first place.  I'm still excited to try the other flavors though.

  25. Angel Heaven Lee says

    August 22, 2013 at 3:18 am

    Okay… so it looks like it's meant to be reusable or rather, used more than once…  but how do you do that when you're putting it inside raw meats??

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 22, 2013 at 12:21 pm

      Angel, I had this in the review but I want to clarify – never EVER use the applicator more than once. Once its touched the raw meat its a no go. It contimates the rest of the marinade. Its okay to do in one batch since you will be cooking that meat, but saving it would mean for bacteria to cultivate.

  26. Heather B says

    August 22, 2013 at 4:12 am

    I love to grill all summer long and love using mariandes and spices to add flavor to my dishes. These are awesome and would be perfect for my grilling!

  27. Kathy Stahlman says

    August 22, 2013 at 4:22 am

    These sound delicious. I love the Idea that meat gets flavored without having to sit in marinade very long.

     

  28. Marti Parks says

    August 22, 2013 at 4:57 am

    I love this idea, it seems like a really good time saver.  I can't wait to try some of these.  While I was reading I was already coming up with ideas for a couple of the flavors. I definitely want to try the zesty Italian with some chicken.

  29. Jeanne says

    August 22, 2013 at 5:03 am

    We love to grill.  These sound like a wonderful way to add flavor in a very easy way.  We usually grill out at least once a week in the summer and I would love to try these out.

  30. Robin Wilson says

    August 22, 2013 at 5:06 am

    I agree with you, this is a great way to add a lot of flavor in a little bit of time.  Plus it is doing so in a healthy way, without a lot of calories or fat.  I think they sound wonderful.

  31. Kathy Lane says

    August 22, 2013 at 5:46 am

    I have never tried this before,but I hope to soon. I think I would like to try the carribean jerk flavor first.You made it sound so good.It looks easy to do too.

  32. Lisa Schweizer says

    August 22, 2013 at 6:44 am

    i like the Zesty Italian and i love to try it 

  41. Brenda Peterson says

    August 22, 2013 at 10:47 am

    I like the idea of an easy way to infuse meat. A person no longer has to mix up the marinade ingredients and then put in a syringe to inject the meat.  All in one is a great idea.  The four available flavors give you a variety to choose from.  I cannot wait to try these.

  42. Zan C says

    August 22, 2013 at 11:05 am

    I am glad that you warned us that we have to throw the applicator and marrinade away after one use.  I have a reusable washable injector so I will put the marinade in it and save the unsed portion(in the unused applicator or another bottle) for future use.

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 22, 2013 at 12:17 pm

      That is actually an awesome idea! I need to buy one of thoes for myself. I had throwing away unused product, especially when they are tasty!

  43. Cindy Brickley says

    August 22, 2013 at 11:17 am

  50. Terran says

    August 22, 2013 at 2:31 pm

    I will not be trying these.  The ingredient lists are down right scary.  HFCS adds no flavor, only "sweet" to the mix.  There would be far fewer health problems in this country if people paid more attention to what they put in their mouths than buying something out of convenience.

    • Susan Bewley says

      Personally, I think HFCS, while not my favorite choice of ingredients (I much prefer cane sugar), is alright in moderation. There have been quite a few studies lately that have shown it really doesn’t have any harmful effects. HFCS is just as dangerous as any other sugar. Personally, I am more afraid of Splenda and most of the artificial sweeteners. WIth some of the studies out there I’m really surprised they haven’t been taken off the market.

      • Susan Bewley says

        August 22, 2013 at 3:17 pm

        Also included a great article on on the confusion of HFCS from one of the About.com nutritionists. Sugar and HGCS are both dangerous for your body in high quantities. I would love to see French’s make this product with natural cane sugar though. I much prefer the taste and it would mean my Father in Law could have it (he has a corn allergy).

    omg i have tried them all they are great!

    they are easy to use and easy to prepared a meal with.

  52. Jill A. Collins says

    August 22, 2013 at 3:53 pm

    We love to grill any time of the year and I am always looking for new ways to shake things up. I need to keep my eyes open for these at the store. French's has always had good quality products and I'd certainly give them a try.

  53. Helga says

    August 22, 2013 at 4:55 pm

    I like this concept.  If professionals are using this method, I am interested!  I love Carribean Jerk too!

  54. desiree says

    August 22, 2013 at 6:55 pm

    wow  those look great  we use marinade  usally bf makde it him self and then the squeeze bottle would be  great

  55. Cheryl Fisher says

    August 22, 2013 at 7:05 pm

    Looks so easy to use and lots of marinade flavors.  I would try the carribean jerk for my chicken.

  56. Darlene Owen says

    August 22, 2013 at 8:20 pm

    Because it is injected, rather than simply soaking in, you can drastically reduce marinating time, bringing it from hours to a short ten minute time span. Time savings is very important to me.

  57. Sue Hull says

    August 22, 2013 at 10:11 pm

    This would be the perfect gift for my brother-in-law b/c he loves to marinate whatever he bbq's. I'm not one for marinate so he'll leave mine plain. That's a really nice grill set too. Good Christmas present. That's a good review 🙂

  58. Teresa Chapman says

    August 22, 2013 at 10:53 pm

    I recently tried the French's Classic Steakhouse on some sirloin steaks we grilled last week. I've used other brand powder marinades but you had to add your own oil,and vinegar, Though they were good, it was nothing like these infusers. The flavor was wonderful! and so much easier to use, I am definitly looking forward to trying the other flavors.

  59. Robert Hidalgo says

    August 23, 2013 at 4:12 am

    Good stuff.lots of flavors also don’t cost to much

  60. kelley wood says

    i have got to try these! my family & i hate bland boring meat! i will be looking on pinterest for ideas about this!!

  61. Kimberly Schotz says

    August 23, 2013 at 11:52 am

    This is something I want to try.  We love to grill.  I think I will be trying the Classic Steakhouse first.

  62. gen says

    August 23, 2013 at 1:52 pm

    I wish these were available in Mexico! We do have French´s products but no marinades. Maybe I will ask my local grocery store to carry them. 

  63. Nancy scaggs says

    August 23, 2013 at 4:38 pm

    This looks really good. I'm definitely going to try these

  64. JoBeth says

    August 23, 2013 at 7:35 pm

    I love the shape of these bottles. I really enjoyed reading your review and seeing your opinions. I have wanted to try these for a while.

  65. femto says

  66. Debra Gibbs says

    August 24, 2013 at 6:06 am

    I am so glad I found these on here.  It is going toward the end of summer and next week end is labor day I can not wait to get some and try it on a variety of meats done on the grill.  i am leaning towards some blue fish with the zesty italian done on the grill… Will have to let you know how it comes out .. 

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 24, 2013 at 9:21 am

      Make sure to come back and tell us how it goes! I would love to try it on fish!

  67. Sherry Compton says

    August 24, 2013 at 7:33 am

    Yum!  You have my mouth watering over the juicy descriptions and tenderness.  I was amazed to see the French's name with marinades, but, now, just want to try them.  My family uses Italian dressing a lot, and I would love to see how this compares.  

  68. katklaw777 says

    August 24, 2013 at 8:14 am

    My chicken could really use sime help…the French's Flavor Infuser Marinades: Caribbean Jerk sounds like something my Hubby and I would both enjoy. 

    It looks so easy to use too and when I'm in a hurry that helps a lot….thanks for the review of this yummy product.

  69. Shelia Noble says

    August 24, 2013 at 8:46 am

    I love the new idea you have for marinating meat. I can't wait to try the chicken one.

  70. Keno Moore says

    August 24, 2013 at 9:10 am

    I love to Grill,and would like to try some.

  71. Velvet Hubler says

    August 24, 2013 at 12:45 pm

    I would love to try the Zesty Italian it sounds great.  I wish you could reuse the bottles but this would be great for a bigger family

  72. Aleah Long says

    August 24, 2013 at 5:19 pm

    I am interested in trying these. They look yummy and easy. I also like the fact that they can be used on different foods. 

  73. Tammy Woodall says

    August 24, 2013 at 6:24 pm

    I didn't know that French's made marinades.  It sounds like it would make some ordinary … extra-ordinary.  Thank you for the post

  74. martha says

    August 24, 2013 at 8:31 pm

    I really like french's products.I am almost sure i will be trying the steak house version of frenchs infusior.THANKS

  75. Becca says

    August 25, 2013 at 2:16 am

    I haven't seen those at the store yet but I will definitely be looking for them now.  I never think to marinate meat too far ahead of time so the infuser would probably be a great help!

  76. Julius Bufkin says

    August 25, 2013 at 8:34 am

    I love trying new flavors. I have not try these flavor. Would love to win. Thanks

  77. judy gardner says

    August 25, 2013 at 1:00 pm

    the zesty italian sounds good!  i never marinate but even i could do this! lol

  78. Jerri Davis says

    August 25, 2013 at 2:39 pm

    Those flavor infusers are really a great idea, great review great pictures. thank you, Jerri Davis

  79. krystel says

    August 25, 2013 at 10:05 pm

    never knew they had diffrent flavors looks delicious 

  80. Lu Worley says

    August 26, 2013 at 1:42 am

    These look super!  We are always misplacing our barbeque tools. I relly would like sturdy stainless steel tools to use when we barbeque which is very often,, Family and friends get together often.. It would be wonderful to have a place to keep them and store them so conveniently.

  81. Jodi says

    August 26, 2013 at 11:00 am

    These look interesting.  I usually wind up marinating meat in a plastic Ziploc bag with some dressing or homemade concoction.  But with the infuser, I'll bet the meat stays juicier after cooking!

  82. william saylor says

    August 26, 2013 at 4:26 pm

    Thanks for this review. I have been thinking about buying some of this but was wondering if it was good. I will getting some for our next cook out.

  83. Kimberly Frazee says

    August 26, 2013 at 8:41 pm

    This would be so handy and yummy. I was astonished it can take marinating time down to 10 by injecting your meat. Grilling will be fun now lol

  84. mindy cole says

    August 26, 2013 at 10:58 pm

    These have great flavor and are so easy to use

  85. Katrina A. says

    August 26, 2013 at 11:44 pm

    I've seen things like this but never tried it. And I never knew French's made some. I love how easy it is to use but wish there was a safe way for them to have a reuseable version. I want to try the Italian one first!!

  86. Mands H says

    August 27, 2013 at 1:47 pm

    I am so glad I am not the only one who stays at time and sometimes can't get a fully home cooked meal every night. This incredible though! Hubby loves Zesty Italian flavoured anything, that would save me a lot of time on trying to figure out seasoning every meal, every time.

  87. Kitty says

    August 27, 2013 at 9:21 pm

    This looks like such a smart and convenient product! I would love to use it the next time I cook burgers!

  88. jennifer watts says

    August 28, 2013 at 9:47 am

    would like to win cuz i would like to try them i have never tryed any of the flavores.

  89. lisa says

    August 28, 2013 at 12:53 pm

    I tried the steak marinade and it is pretty good. Got to try a new flavor next week.

  90. Jill D. says

    August 28, 2013 at 2:46 pm

    I think these marinades and everything else is going to truly make our meals DELICIOUS!

  91. heather says

    August 28, 2013 at 4:11 pm

    I would really love to try these.  I think its great you can marinade in only ten minutes.

  92. john hutchens says

    August 28, 2013 at 7:28 pm

    these sound very good . it would make for a very quick and easy way to make meals delicious without having to marinade overnight. I like discovering new , quick and easy ideas to boost flavor in a quick meal. I think my family would enjoy the steak marinade so that we can have juicy steaks from the grill

  93. jose benavides says

    August 29, 2013 at 3:34 am

    i didnt know about these wonderful products.. i love to marinade and i will be checking these out to see how tasty they are.. my mom showed me how to marinade and i love the flavors they create

  94. Stephanie F. says

    August 29, 2013 at 10:53 am

    I love that they have a 12-month shelf life!  Anything I can do to improve on chicken is a blessing.  These sound really delicious and convenient.

  95. Nadine L says

    August 29, 2013 at 12:47 pm

    I saw these the other day and wanted to try them, but after trying a few other infusers in the past without great success, I was a little gun shy. They simply looked too "easy" to be any good (if that makes sense) maybe I will give them a chance after all. Thanks for the review

    • Susan Bewley says

      August 29, 2013 at 7:33 pm

      I know what you mean. I have tried alot of products that seemed too good to be true, and were! I am very happy it wasn’t the case with these!

  96. Terri Herman says

    August 29, 2013 at 3:13 pm

    Gosh what a great idea with the builit in infusiors! We have used a kitchen injector before but it is such a hassle to clean up. With these, you just use and discard. I like the variety of flavors too! And they last long too. I sometimes buy things and it takes me a while to get around to using them!

  97. Ginger Pearl says

    August 29, 2013 at 8:30 pm

    I have purchased all of these flavors when on sale with coupons and got them for next to nothing but I have yet to try them so thank you for the great ideas and the great review.

  98. Andrea Mills says

    August 29, 2013 at 9:07 pm

    What a neat idea this is. Looks like there's not messy clean up involved either. Gotta love it!

  99. Gabriele Jolly says

    August 30, 2013 at 5:35 am

    I would just diespense the marinade into my own injecter if I'm not going to use all of it at one time. This way the tip of the marinade dispense4r woul not get contaminated by the raw food.

  100. Doreen Lamoureux says

    August 30, 2013 at 10:13 pm

    I always imagine whey something like this was not on the market. I am getting all of these in my homw.

  101. Melissa S says

    August 31, 2013 at 1:27 am

    These sound really good, I would use the zesty italian on chicken breast or steak.Anything that makes dinner time easy.

  102. Lore says

    August 31, 2013 at 7:19 am

    These are GREAT!  Lots of flavor and they make the meats tender!

  103. Sheila says

    August 31, 2013 at 3:02 pm

    MMMMMMM. nothing better than marinated meat from the grill . These infusers sound really good and I cant wait to try them.

  104. Samantha L. says

    August 31, 2013 at 5:29 pm

    I would like to try the carribbean jerk flavor. I dont usually cook 4 pounds of meat at a time unless we have company though… hmmm

  105. Kimmy says

    August 31, 2013 at 6:41 pm

    I've tried the terriake, it was really good. I would love to try the other flavors. Carribean jerk sounds so good.

  106. Wanda Sharp says

    August 31, 2013 at 9:11 pm

    I had seen these in the store, but was unsure about purchasing them. After reading your post, I will certainly give them a try on my next shopping trip. I have actually never used any kind of injector but these seem like they would be easy and quick to use with little clean up. Thanks!

  107. jennifer aikens says

    September 1, 2013 at 12:56 am

    I'm not really loving the fact that you end up having to waste product since these are for one time use. I assume there MUST be a way to get multiple uses but it would probably  be messy as hell and time consuming. I assume that you can twist off the top prior to use, empty half and store it then when done with the tube wash it and put the leftovers back in. OR if you are a planner like me, when you buy in bulk before freezing you can inject all the meat so that it is ready when it defrosts and you don't waste any product. Gosh I am cheap lol.

    • Susan Bewley says

      September 2, 2013 at 2:45 pm

      Yeah, you can freeze the meat after it has been injected. The bottles themselves are very re-use friendly, but its a bacterial concern since you are dealing with uncooked meat. The way to get around it is by grilling 3 pounds or meat at once. I found that with how juicy the meat is it reheats wonderfully in the microwave 🙂

  108. Cassie Sudduth says

    September 1, 2013 at 10:56 am

    My boyfriend doesn't like these type of things. So one night I wanted to try them so I got the teriyaki and used it with a chicken that I got.  He actually loved it so now I will be using them from now on!!

  109. Chrystal S says

    September 1, 2013 at 4:04 pm

    I had never heard of these infusers before. Wow! They are so much easier than my way. Old fashioned mix up and try to inject with poking a hole and filling. It works if you do it right but a hassle. This sounds so much easier!

  110. Michelle Elizondo says

    September 2, 2013 at 4:23 pm

    The best marinades are citrusy I believe. I also like BBQ.

  111. roxy meto says

  113. kristin sims says

    September 2, 2013 at 6:30 pm

    This looks like a great way to quicken the process of marinating meats and chicken…I would love to try the Caribbean Jerk flavor! Great pictures by the way!

  114. Susan Smith says

    September 2, 2013 at 9:40 pm

    I think these are great and so easy to use with no mess.  I would like to try Zesty Italian on chicken.

  115. Christina A. says

    September 3, 2013 at 12:24 am

    I keep forgetting to buy these and try um! They look simple and delisous 

  116. Natasha Talkington says

    September 3, 2013 at 6:11 am

    I have never heard of these infusers, but will definately be trying them this weekend! We love to use marinades and anything that will cut time and still have great flavor is a keeper in my book!!

  117. Rebecca says

    September 3, 2013 at 12:33 pm

    All the flavors sound delicious! I would probably lean toward the Teriyaki, but I know my fiance would want the Italian!

  118. Kay M. says

    September 3, 2013 at 1:03 pm

    I really want to try these! I am certain we would use the whole bottle in each meal, since I have to cook enough to feed two teen boys, as well as have enough left for hubby's lunch the next day! 

  119. Tanya Gamez says

    September 3, 2013 at 1:24 pm

    My husband loves to grill. This sounds like a great product. I will definitely look into adding this to our routine so we can have a more flavorful result.

  120. Stephanie Easterling says

    September 3, 2013 at 3:42 pm

    They all sound wonderful and so easy to use. I love to BBQ and these will be great to add flavor to all kinds of meat. I might even try the zesty Italian on veggies.

  121. Leona Olson says

    September 3, 2013 at 6:50 pm

    I had a coupon and used it on Sweet & Tangy Teriyaki for a pork loin roast. Walmart only has the Teriyaki and Zesty Italian.  I will probably use it on some chicken at the same time so as not to waste.

    Thanks for the review.

    • Susan Bewley says

      September 5, 2013 at 11:59 am

      Yes, I do it in a large quantity to avoid waste. Its the only thing I don’t like about the marinades but I understand WHY it has to be tossed too. I found that marinading the meat and then tossing it in the freezer works well too!

  122. Ed Nemmers says

    September 3, 2013 at 8:20 pm

    I love the product name Infuser!  Zesty Italian would be my French's Flavor Infuser of choice!

  123. kathy pease says

    September 3, 2013 at 9:04 pm

    these sound so delicious. I would use them for all kinds or meat and poultry dishes to add that extra zing..I know my family would love them 🙂

  124. Lisa Bouch says

    September 4, 2013 at 12:21 am

    I really like all the information. I have heard of these but have been unable to purchase as of yet. My problem arises because of the different allergies/intolerance to certain ingredients so most marinade I have to make myself to avoid this.

    • Susan Bewley says

      September 5, 2013 at 11:54 am

      I know all about allergies! I was bummed my father in law couldn’t try them since he has a corn allergy!

  125. Deb C says

    September 4, 2013 at 4:52 am

    I grill out and also use an outdoor smoker often.  I think these Infusers could add something new and exciting to our standard fare.

  126. Shannon Miranda says

    September 4, 2013 at 6:10 am

    Yummy! Every one of these marinades sounded absolutely delicious! I didn’t even know French’s made marinades!

  127. melikegarfield says

    September 4, 2013 at 7:08 am

    This seems like a really good idea. Do you know where these will be available…I didn't see them in my local grocery store.

    • Susan Bewley says

      September 5, 2013 at 11:53 am

      I have seen them at Kroger, Wal-Mart, and Meijer. What stores are in your area ?

  128. Kat Emerick says

    September 4, 2013 at 11:51 am

    The Classic Steakhouse would be good for my t-bones on the pit and also the Caribbean Jerk would be awesome on my smoked pork chops.

  129. Michelle Kafka says

    September 4, 2013 at 1:24 pm

    They all look delish. Would love to try the Teriyaki one on chicken or pork.

    Thanks for the chance. 🙂

  130. Shakeia Rieux says

    September 4, 2013 at 1:50 pm

    I think it was,a great idea for French's to come out with a product like this.I can't wait to try them,all the flavors sound great so i will definitely try them all.I love teriyaki so i might try that flavor first.

  131. Sherry Fowler says

    September 4, 2013 at 6:11 pm

    September 7, 2013 at 2:34 pm

    Oh man, I missed this giveaway.  I hate to make marinades so this is any easy option.  I wonder do they have honey mustard?  I love to put that on salmon.

  142. jenn p says
