Collapsible marinade container

A collapsible marinating container having a rigid closed bottom panel with a planar bottom side, a rigid open upper rim, and a peripheral sidewall extending between the panel and the rim;

• a pair of rigid members permanently and pivotally connected to the bottom panel at hinges;
• wherein the peripheral sidewall is flexible to enable conversion of the container between a collapsed state and a vertically-extended state;
• wherein the members are pivotable about the hinges from a stored non-functional position wherein they lie under the bottom panel when the container is in the collapsed state to a functional position wherein the members engage the upper rim to secure and maintain the container in the vertically-extended state;
• wherein the hinges are disposed on opposing sides of the panel;
• and further comprising base receivers on the bottom panel for selectively engaging the members to retain them above the planar bottom side in the non-functional position.
