For healthy meals in minutes!

I LOVE cooking with my Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Microwave Cooking Bags!!!! They combine the taste and nutritional benefits of steam cooking with all the convenience of your microwave. And who doesn’t love the sound of that???!! :)

Each bag has patented vents that allow food to be steamed under pressure so that it is cooked thoroughly and evenly for quick, healthy, delicious meals.

  • Ideal for steaming fresh or frozen vegetables, potatoes, fish, poultry and more.
  • Each bag holds 2–3 servings.
  • Microwaveable (use as directed).
  • No cleanup—simply toss the bag and mess away!
  • Microwave cooking means quicker, easier meals.
  • Each bag is printed with useful guidelines for cooking times.

They are really so easy to use!!! It’s really 3 quick steps:

  1. Place food and seasonings in bag and seal it up. Spread items into an even layer. Do not overlap meats. For best results with vegetables, add one tablespoon of water.
  2. Lay bag in microwave with indicated side up and cook using guidelines on bag.
  3. Let bag stand for one minute, then open bag carefully holding top of bag where indicated. And voila! Yummy healthy food for you to enjoy!!!

Other great features of the Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Microwave Cooking Bags are:

  • You can refrigerate ingredients in a Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Bag for up to two days before microwaving. For longer storage, place in the freezer for up to two weeks prior to cooking.
  • Prep individual healthy lunches and snacks in Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Bags. Since you can use different seasonings in each bag, every member of your family can simply grab a favorite and pop it into the microwave.

  • Give your college student a supply of Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Bags. You’ll feel better knowing that he/she can quickly cook a healthy meal in his dorm-room microwave.
  • Streamline your favorite recipes that use cooked chicken (for example, chicken salad, chicken Caesar salad, chicken quesadillas).Thoroughly cook boneless, skinless chicken breast halves in Ziploc® Zip’n Steam® Bags. Then slice or cube the chicken as needed.
