Take the 2-minute tour ×  I marinated chicken a couple weeks
ago, and stored the marinade afterwards in a jar. Can it be
reused, or is that dangerous? I've been told conflicting stories
here. The marinade is mostly teriyaki if that makes a
difference.  Intended use of used marinade: Marinate chicken
which will then be cooked in the oven. It will not be used with
anything that won't be cooked (like a sauce).  share|improve

Answers 9  up vote 16 down vote accepted  Most reliable sources
will warn you strongly against reusing marinades because they
can continue to harbor bacteria. Even though the second batch of
meat will be cooked, there'll be lots of time for the bacteria
to multiply in the meantime. (And given the symptoms caused by
foodborne illnesses caused by bacteria like salmonella, the risk
isn't worth the few cents you'll save on marinade.)
