Life Changing - Quick and Easy Vegetables!

You will change your life. Now I add frozen veggies to them for adding veggies to any meal. If you mix the veggies with spices (I recommend Chef Paul Prudhomme's unsalted fried onions and garlic and some ground black pepper) and sauté them in a bag, you can just tip them onto a plate and eat them. But it's also a great way to prep veggies for stir-fries and more, as it cooks up quickly and cleanly. They can be used to cook and reheat meat, steam omelettes and quickly prepare any type of frozen steamed food. Trust me, using these products cuts all culinary points in half or more. That's incredible! When I travel, I take them with me. I can also quickly prepare healthy vegetables in the hotel room. And when I lived abroad professionally in Portugal and China, I also brought them with me. They make healthy eating a lot easier! TIPS: Ignore the instructions. I overfill the max fill line daily and just cook longer. And I never add water to frozen or fresh vegetables (yes, meat). Vegetables have enough water to steam and you don't have to strain the excess. Also, always be careful when removing or opening a bag as it has just evaporated - it will be hot and will have hot hairs inside waiting to come out (think microwave popcorn). You can also reuse bags for stuff like this, which I did by rationing them in Portugal. And if you have leftovers, just leave them in your bag. Vegetables in particular are stored in one of these steamer bags for several days or even a week. I often do this for "salad corn" (Portugal taught me that cold steamed corn is a great salad base - they use equal parts lettuce, cucumber and corn as a salad base, not just lettuce, yum); I steam the corn and then just toss it in the fridge without opening the bag. A few hours later, voila, lettuce corn! :)

Pros
  • Ideal for steaming fresh or frozen vegetables, potatoes, etc.
Cons
  • I'll write back
