Mary's marinating sticks

[Shalmanese]

The New York Times has an article on Mary's marinating sticks, a new and apparently better way of infusing flavor into the middle of large roasts compared to traditional injecting. Has anyone tried one? Do they work? Are they worth buying?

What an unsatisfying article. No picture. No diagram. Who knows if it's any good. The writer had his narrative who cares if the reader learns nothing.

The article is from the Business section. The intended audience is interested in the business development story, not necessarily in using the product.

It does provide a link to the product website, marinatingstick.com, and it says the product is listed in Chefs Catalog and will be sold at Target.

I would be interested to try it!

It's still an unsatisfying article. Being in the business section does not require incompleteness.

If you go to the web site, there's a video of the inventor (Mary) talking about how she uses the sticks. The sticks shown in the video seem quite huge to me. I imagine the hole they leave behind in the roast/bird will be quite large. So if you don't mind holes in your meat...then you're good to go.
