Another benefit is money saved by not going out to lunch or grabbing something from a shop. It more than offsets the cost of the bags. Great stuff, thank you! I love that idea, Melini!

One thing I have found is how easy it is to bag my lunch now. I cut up chicken and put it into a small dish then throw whatever veggies i want into the steamer bag. The next day I take them to work throw the chicken in and wala you have veggies and protein all in about 5 minutes. These are saving my wastline and my heart health. I have to say I love these.

I tried one with corn on the cob -- nuking is my favorite way to make just a few ears and the plate they're on has to be tightly sealed with plastic wrap -- and the bags are perfect for that. Don't even bother to hull the corn, everything slips right off after nuking. I love Broccoli Wokly in cole slaw! I think asparagus would be fine.

I love the ease of Broccoli Wokly (poke the bag with a fork, then microwave). I still might try this. Not on steak though. I wonder how asparagus would go. Ahh, I was sucked in by those commercials.
