For the Veg Heads and More

I just got the Bzz on a new product I'm really excited about. They haven't hit store shelves yet, but if you just can't wait, you can purchase them NOW online at www.ziploc.com. Here's what I know so far:
They're called Ziploc® Zip 'n Steam™ Steam Cooking Bags, and they combine the taste and nutritional benefits of steam cooking with all the convenience of your microwave. In fact, they're specifically designed for use in the microwave.
Steaming food results in flavorful, healthy vegetables, seafood, poultry and more (unlike those overcooked, brownish-green green beans that cafeterias seem so fond of). All the nutrients are left in, and the vibrant color and taste come through. Until now, the process of steaming has been a bit cumbersome. But the Ziploc® Brand Zip 'n Steam™ Bags use a patented vent technology to steam food evenly, keeping in all your food's moisture and flavor. And the bags won't limit your culinary creativity — you can cook everything from side dishes to full meals right in the bag. Just toss it when you're done — no clean up! Create your own in-bag meals, or use the recipe booklet that comes with every package of Ziploc® Zip 'n Steam™ Bags.

There are some really yummy looking recipes on the www.ziploc.com website which I intend to try as soon as I receive my BzzKit. I will let you know my results as soon as I've tried them. Here's to health!
