Ziploc Zip 'N Steam Cooking Bags, Medium Size, 10-Pack (4 Packs) Review

I used to buy them at the supermarket but apparently they don't carry them everywhere I go anymore. I was worried they were discontinued but maybe they just fell out of favor. I use them regularly to steam broccoli and a variety of other veggies in the microwave for 2 minutes. They're a marvel and I can't recommend them enough, especially for a meal or two (they're too small to hold enough veggies for the whole family).

I love these vegetable steaming bags. MY GOD! This makes it very easy to eat healthy and reduce the amount of washing up. They're also a lifesaver when preparing potatoes or hash browns for a meal. Instead of waiting 30 minutes for boiled potatoes, they cook potatoes in 5-7 minutes depending on how many you put in the bag. (Slice the potatoes, of course.) It can also be used for baked potatoes, but I didn't use it for that. If you eat a lot of steamed veggies, I recommend these packets.

They're great with fresh steamed veggies. We use it all the time: broccoli, corn on the cob, carrots, Brussels sprouts, green beans. Very simple: wash and prepare the vegetables, throw them in a bag, add some water and put them in the microwave. I especially like using it to take my lunch to work. I add raw veggies there at lunchtime, then at work I add water and then heat it up in the microwave. I bring some butter and steamed fresh veggies with leftovers for lunch.
