Prepare foods as late as possible and keep foods in fridge until required.
Marinatei foods in the fridge. Don't put raw meat into a marinade if it is to be used for a sauce, rather reserve a portion specifically for the sauce.
When using an acid-based marinade, be sure to use only containers made of glass, ceramic or stainless steel or use food-safe plastic zip-lock bags. Do NOT use an aluminum container - It creates a chemical reaction that can darken the food and the aluminum container.
