The Health Bonus: Vegetables in about three minutes—sounds unbelievable. How about a full healthy meal in four minutes? It’s all possible with these new bags.
What We Liked Best: The instructions are right on the bag along with serving sizes. It’s also very easy to use, no water added. Just throw the food in the bag, wait a few minutes and you have a meal. Almost no clean up, it’s leak-proof. Although the bags are made for one time use, I've managed to reuse them when the zipper part still works. If you do reuse, make sure you don’t cross contaminate (using it for vegetables, than using it for raw meat thereafter). What We Liked Least: Well, I wish they were a bit less expensive. What It Replaces: Fast food, and over steamed vegetables. The Price: 30 medium bags (2-3 servings per bag) and 14 large bags (3-5 servings per bag) for $15.99 (plus tax), part of a limited time offer which includes free shipping. Offerings: The bags are available in two sizes: medium (2-3 servings) and large (3-5 servings). Website: www.ziploc.com/steamerbags Where to Buy: www.gfsglobal.com/zipnsteamoffer/ Nutritional Information: Check out this great recipe. Ingredients: According to the company the “bags feature an innovative design with patented steam vents that allow the bag to maintain optimal steaming pressure so food cooks at a higher temperature and retains more moisture. In addition, the bags lay flat in the microwave so food cooks thoroughly and evenly without needing to be stirred halfway through the cooking process.” Do you have a Calorie Bargain to share?

How about the safety of cooking in a plastic bag?? Any claims of a*suring that none of the contents that make up the bag convey into the food being cooked??

The Why: We are always crunched for time. Kids, family, pets, errands, shopping, work, the list is endless. Well, this new product from the makers of Ziploc (SC Johnson) is a real time saver. You can have a meal in a tenth of the time it takes to get in your car (because I’m sure you don’t walk) to get a burger at a fast food drive through.
