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.

I do love it for corn on the cob. I think these bags will be handiest when I'm making a big dinner and all 4 burners are occupied, but I also like the every day convenience.

I guess no one is buying them. I still steam veggies on the stovetop. I got my microwave last April and I'm still not using it very much - melting chocolate, popping popcorn and cooking hotdogs in the bun. I saw these on the sale rack at Target today.
