I am a HUGE fan of the Ziploc Steam Fresh Bags! It helps me get full and be healthy at the same time. I usually only make chicken breast or salmon and then a large helping of some type of veggie. I'll flavor it with Mrs. Dash as that has no salt/cals/fat etc.
Then I'll have a side of brown rice. I just wanted to see if anyone else uses these, and if so, what do you cook in it?

    They are basically bags that you can put anything in (potatoes, veggies, meats etc) and it steams it for you. I take my chicken breast and veggies, pop in the microwave for 3 minutes and my lunch is all done! The chicken comes out nice and moist.

    I have to admit- I use them only in a pinch. It freaks me out. If I had the choice our microwave would be gone.

    I've never used them, so I can't offer any advice. However, I just might start using them now after your recommendation! Thanks!

    I have used them before, mostly for veggies. Good idea to start using them again. Makes it so quick n easy. Love it especially for asparagus, broccoli and cauliflower.

    Do you know how to make rice with them?

    I've used them for veggies (which I love doing because I'm lazy and like it to be quick! lol). I think it would be great if I could make rice with it too. haha

    I do it all the time!!! I like some protien: fish, chicken or a small steak marinaded in italian dressing and then a pile of veggies. I love some fresh spinach in there or some zucchini.

    I use them to steam broccoli and carrots for our meals. It's the only way our son will eat veggies. When I try to cook them on the stove he informs me they are too mushy and won't touch them!

    I always use them for veggies. When you cook a steak does it taste good or does it have that funny microwave taste? BTW: I'm going to try it for chicken next. Thanks, I don't know why I didn't think of it.

    I will typically cook my brown rice in a steamer, then baggie it up, stick it in the freezer and use it as needed. Takes 2 mins in the microwave to re-heat.
    I use glad (tupperware type) containers for all my other food.

    I love to use them for chicken breast and veggies. It's nice on the nights when my husband whats to eat steak and I want to stick with chicken, because then I don't have to dirty up a pan just for me. When I do the chicken, I just season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Turns out perfect.
