Congratulations on joining the
Flavor Revolution. You are now
an official Flavorista!
The Flavoristas are a growing movement of
cooks who believe in the right to freely flavor,
and the right to demand the best taste
possible from the food they prepare. We have
uncovered the secret marination tool used by
professionals and are now bringing it to your
home. It is the beginning of a transformation
that will take place inside every kitchen and on
every grill.
Get out there and start spreading the word!
Liberate your friends and family.
Viva la Flavor Revolution!

The Flavorista Credo
1. Free the flavor! All cooks, not just the professionals, deserve the
best marination process possible. A marination tool that gives each
bite a deeper, richer flavor and liberates the meat’s juices.
The patent-pending vacuum seal of the Reveo draws the marinade inward
to the center of meat, vegetables, fruit, and seafood. The Reveo beats ALL
conventional soak marinade methods that only coat the surface. Most meat
will pick up more than 10% of its weight in marinade after Reveo marination.
The Reveo lets you season freely and boldly!
Free the fork!™ The fork is the test of what is true and tender.
2.
Many types of meat will become “fork tender” after marinating in the Reveo
with our revolutionary marinade flavors.
Free the meat!™ Every cut of meat should be the best it can be.
3.
The Reveo can make leaner meat taste better. You don’t need the fat
for flavor. You can also use more economical cuts of meat (flank, ground)
and make them taste as great as restaurant-quality meat with the Reveo
and Reveo Dry Marinade Bases. The patent-pending vacuum of the Reveo
gives food a fresher appearance by increasing moisture within the meat
allowing the marinade ingredients to penetrate the surface.
Free your time! Marinate in a fraction of the time.
4.
Using the Reveo, you can marinate in minutes rather than hours or days.
You’ll get better flavor than any soak marinade in a fraction of the time.
Free your mind! A multitude of flavors can mix harmoniously in

one meal.
have multiple flavors in the same meal.
The Reveo marination process only takes minutes, so you can

Inspire your friends and family with
righteous, rebellious cooking. All you
need is your Reveo!
How to prepare your Reveo for first use: The Flavor Revolution begins…

Using Your
Reveo
7
1
Clean before first use, follow cleaning instructions on page 14. Place the
Reveo on a flat, dry surface (kitchen counter or top-secret Flavorista
meeting table) away from any heat source and plug it into a 110 Volt
outlet. Press the power button on the Reveo control panel and the power
light will illuminate.
8
2
Place meat, seafood or vegetables in the Reveo barrel and prepare to unleash
flavors you've only dreamed about. Add mixed marinade according to the
chart on page 15.
Note: The Reveo holds a maximum of 5 pounds of food and marinade - more
is not better!!
Important: For a great experience, every time, do not use pre-marinated
meats. When in doubt, check the label or ask your butcher, the original
Flavorista.
9
3
Note: Always
insert the
vacuum hose
in an upright
position.
This will
prevent the
marinade
from leaking.
Place the lid securely on top of the barrel. Attach the vacuum hose into
the hole on the pressure valve knob by pushing it into the hole as shown
above. Once the hose is seated into the hole, turn the pressure valve dial
(on top of the lid) one quarter turn toward the “MariVac Open” position.
Then, press the “MariVac” button on the control panel to initiate the
depressurizing process. When the MariVac process starts, firmly hold the lid
of the barrel down for 5 to 10 seconds to ensure a good seal. The Reveo
will automatically stop when the MariVac process is complete. Average
vacuum time is approximately 2 minutes.
10
4
Once the MariVac process is complete, turn the pressure valve dial (on top
of the lid) one quarter turn toward “Tumble Close” position and remove the
vacuum hose. Gently lift up on the lid while holding the barrel. If the barrel
is properly vacuum-sealed for tumbling, the lid will NOT come off. If the lid
does come off, repeat Step 3 until it is sealed and will not come off.
11
5
Place the vacuum-sealed barrel on its side on the rollers of the Reveo
base, making sure that the lid is facing away from the control panel. It
is really important, that if you have gotten the outside of the barrel
smeared with marinade, that you clean it off with warm, soapy water or
a spray kitchen cleaner then dry it off with a paper towel. If the barrel
has food or liquid on the exterior, the rollers will slip. Select the
appropriate tumble time (see Tumbling Times on page 16) by pressing
the tumbling button until the desired time is illuminated. The Reveo will
begin and end tumbling automatically.
12
6
When the Reveo tumble time has expired and the barrel stops rotating,
remove the barrel from the rollers and stand the barrel upright. Remove the
vacuum pressure from the barrel by turning the pressure valve dial (on top
of the lid) one quarter turn toward the “MariVac Open” position. The barrel
will make a hissing noise from the vacuum pressure being released. Remove
the lid from the barrel using the plastic key attached to the vacuum cord.
Insert the key into the groove on the barrel. Turn the key toward the top of
the barrel and pop the lid open. Shake off any excess marinade from the
food (DO NOT dump excess liquids into pan). This will help prevent the
marinade from burning off (especially over a direct flame on a grill). The
contents are now ready for cooking. Grill, bake, broil or sauté. This ends
your Flavorista training - now get out there and free the meat!

Care, Cleaning & Sanitation
Keep your Reveo in optimal working order.
IMPORTANT: UNPLUG BEFORE CLEANING BASE AND DO NOT IMMERSE THE REVEO BASE IN WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!
1. It is especially important to thoroughly clean your Reveo after each use.
2. Completely empty barrel after tumbling and toss marinade into the trash.
3. Remove rubber seal and wash in warm soapy water, rinse and let dry or wipe dry with paper towel.
Set aside DO NOT WASH SEAL IN DISHWASHER!
4. Barrel and lid are dishwasher safe. Wash lid on top shelf of dishwasher. Select air-dry on dishwasher.
5. Barrel and lid can be washed by hand. Use warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and air-dry or
wipe dry with a paper towel.
6. CAUTION; DO NOT PLACE BASE IN DISHWASHER OR SUBMERSE IN WATER!
7. Spray the base down with a kitchen cleaner, preferably bleach based. Let stand for 30 seconds.
Wipe clean with paper towel. For heavy stained areas, repeat cleaning steps until stains are gone.
8. Check the liquid trap (the small bottle attached to the vacuum hose) after every use. If any food or
liquid is present in the liquid trap, unscrew it from the hose leading in the base. Wash the hose and
bottle by hand, and replace.
Note: If the outside of the barrel is wet or greasy clean with warm soapy water or a kitchen
cleaner, wiping dry with a paper towel.

guidelines below to unleash the flavors!
• Most foods use 1/3 cup liquid marinade per pound of meat.
• DO NOT use more than 2 tablespoons of liquid per pound of ground meat.
• In general, feel free to experiment! Adjust seasoning and liquid amounts to your preferences if you
are making your own marinade. TIP: Fish and seafood usually require less seasoning, whereas wild

packaged, pre-tumbled or pre-injected meats, look to see if the meat has an ingredient statement that
says “pre-seasoned”,“pre-marinated” or “liquid added”. Meat is like a sponge. Once it is saturated with

and un-marinated meats.

Reveo Tips
Plan a rebellious meal that wins over the masses.
Our squad of culinary experts has designed an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process
for using the Reveo. Use the following tips, the marinade guidelines and the tumbling
time guide on pages 15 and 16, to ensure proper flavor.
• When using frozen shrimp, check the ingredient label to make sure it does not
contain phosphates. Shrimp with phosphates will not pick up as much flavor in the
Reveo as shrimp without phosphates.
• When flavoring fish in the Reveo, choose firm fish, such as salmon, swordfish or tuna.
• Do not freeze tumbled fish or seafood. You can freeze meat, just shake off the
excess marinade beforehand.
• Product marinated in the Reveo will be fine frozen for up to 3 months. However, if
you are going to freeze meat, it is best to thaw it and Reveo it just before cooking.
• Do not store tumbled meats or vegetables in a pressurized Reveo barrel. Release
pressure before storing the Reveo barrel in the refrigerator.
• Follow all cleaning and sanitation guidelines. A true Flavorista is always careful as
well as fun and exciting!

Marinades: The Messengers of Flavor
Tips on making your own marinades:
You know the right marinade can make the best food taste even better. But what exactly
makes a marinade work? How does Reveo revolutionize the process, bringing flavor to
heights that traditional marinating could never hope to match? And how can you use this
knowledge to bring maximum flavor to your own food and express your individuality?
First, it’s important to know that every great marinade is made up of three ingredients:
flavoring and other liquids
with the acid and softening it with the liquid. The problem with traditional marinating is that
it’s only able to drive in the flavoring in so far. The Reveo works by removing air and pressure
from the marinating process, so food opens up to accept juices through to its core.
Here are the three key ingredients of all great marinades:
Acid: The acid portion of your marinade can be vinegar, citrus juice, milk, yogurt
or wine
Flavoring: This category is wide open! Use salt, spices, seasonings, herbs, liquid smoke
or even Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, honey... you name it.
Other Liquids: Any water or oil.We recommend using flavored oils or virgin olive oil.
We recommend that you use Reveo Dry Marinade Bases, which are available at your
Reveo retailer or online at www.freethemeat.org.They are specially formulated for optimum
flavor during the MariVac process. Please see page 15 for more information on using Reveo
Dry Marinade Bases.
Let the Flavor Revolution begin!
You know the right marinade can make the best food taste even better. Have you been a
Flavorista for years? Do you have your own recipes for really great marinades? Send us your
recipe by going to www.freethemeat.org to submit it!
. Marinating works to “tenderize” meat by breaking it down
acid,
28
The Flavorista’s Guide to
Optimizing Meat Flavor
1. Trim meat of excess fat. (Fat does not absorb marinade and may impede optimal
absorption of the marinade).
2. Our guidelines are just a starting point. Feel free to experiment with tumble times and
flavors.
3. If the meat has excess marinade on the outside after the tumbling process, shake off the
excess before cooking or grilling. This helps prevent the marinade from burning (especially
over a direct flame on a grill).
4. Because the marinating process takes less than 20 minutes, you can experiment with
different flavors for a meal. Marinate your appetizers and side dishes, too! (Make sure you
clean the Reveo thoroughly between marinade cycles.) Refer to the cleaning guide on
page 14.
5. Thick portions of meat (greater than 1 inch thick) may not achieve complete marinade
penetration. It is recommended that you butterfly cut thicker portions to maximize the
MariVac process. Another way to maximize marinade penetration for thicker meats is to
pierce the meat several times with a fork, or inject marinade into meat using an Eastman
Outdoors Marinade injector.
Adding Dry Rubs to Marinated Meat
Dry rubs can be applied to marinated meat.
Remove marinated meat from the barrel and shake off any excess juices. Place on a clean
baking pan. Sprinkle meat liberally with additional dry marinade base used in marinade.
Rub evenly. Bake, broil, grill or sauté and enjoy!
Remember, you’re a Flavorista, experiment as little or as much as you like. Release the
Flavor!
