Ziploc ZipN Steam Cooking Bags,10 Count (Pack of 2)

Ive used these steamer bags for at least 15 years. I never ever boil fresh veggies, I roast or steam, no essential vitamins or flavor lost in the cooking process. Because these were hard to find during the pandemic I used the traditional stove top or lesser quality bags. Not only was the quality poor but the timing was off. These bags give me perfection every time. I am so excited that this are once again available!

I spotted these at the store today, and in my new quest to eat healthier, I though tto myself Hey, these look convenient. Stick veggies in, microwave, take veggis out. The hefty price tag almost put me off, but I decided to get a pack of 10 anyway, telling myself You get what you pay for, putting aside the voice of experience that tells me You get less than you pay for. So I grab a pack of them, along with a pack of veggies, thinking Id make my lunch at work in the microwave. I was wrong. I tried to open the first of 10. An dit was exceedingly difficult. I went in blind, and ripped it. Oh crap. I should be more careful. Ill study the next one to avoid wasting any more. I approach bag #2 cautiously, analyzing how its put together as to make sure I am not handling the product wrong. I notice that just below the zip n seal strip, the bag has a second seal. This seal is where the problem was. I carefully opened the zip strip, and tried to break the next seal. Bag #2 joined its older brother in the afterlife. Bag #3 was the next to die. Using even more caution, I managed to ruin this one the same way. Instead of the second seal coming apart, the bag rips. I continue on in that fashion, probing for weaknesses on bag #4, this time trying to work the seal open in one tiny spot, planning to slowly widen the opening. Poor, poor bag #4. Although I only opened a pinhole in the seal, i tstill took part of the bah with it. At this point, I am in disbelief. Was I doing something wrong? I took to the internet, searching for instructions, and for other bag ripping stories. I found no instructions, and a couple of other people who have had this issue. Disheartened, I returned to the task at hand, setting my sights on bag #5. Surely by now, Ive suffered enough. Surely by now, Ill have one remain in tact. What a fool I was. It suffered the same fate as all who came before. All I coul ddo now, was press on and hope for the best. And I do. I continue tearing through bags, like some kind of biblical destroyer, until at last, I reach bag #10. I set it aside the pile of its tortured brothers. Ive lost almost all hope. What reason had I to believe this one would be any different? None. But I opened it anyway. This one didnt rip. It shredded into ribbons. I was left with a pack of raw veggies, and a stack of shredded steamer bags. Fortunately, I had a trusty plastic container, which did the trick well enough. That is my tale. Learn from my mistakes.

The steamer bags worked like they should. Rather expensive for what you get but the quality is good. I use them to steam fish w herbs.

I love the steam bags. So glad I found them on Amazon. I use to buy at Target or Walmart and they no longer carry them.

Use to steam cook vegetables.

I use these all the time to steam vegetables and fish in the microwave. Clean up: toss in garbage. I use these a lot at work. Very convenient.

Just what I ordered

Name brand didn’t expect that some bags are ripped.

Great for quick and easy use in the microwave for fresh vegetables. Love these. Hard to find in the stores in my area

they are quick and easy to use. I like the easy clean up
