exactly how do these work? do you seal raw vegetables of choice with a little liquid and then microwave?

These are ventilated, stand-up bags that allows you to easily fill and cook in the microwave and serve. You can vacuum seal frozen or fresh foods and store in refrigerator or freezer. Then you place the bag in the microwave and cook using the guidelines printed on the bag. Finally, you can cut open the bag carefully where indicated on the bag, serve and enjoy!

You don't need any liquid the steam from the bag produces all the moisture you need. At times I have par boiled small whole potatoes.

Hello! I personally have not tried to microwave with them, but from what I read on Google, you can, but probably shouldn't be an everyday practice due to chemicals that are released and the "hot" plastic that results from the microwave. Here's an example of what I read from Google: There can be a very small amount of migration of the melamine-formaldehyde resin, but as you stated elsewhere, the FDA concluded that it was well below the safe use limit. However, the real reason for not microwaving melamine dishes or cookware is that it can become very hot when microwaved. Most plastics are microwave transparent and do not get hot. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and, as a result, heats. Hello!

I warmed them in a pan. They cooked extremely quick. I haven't tried in a microwave. They are very thin so they do break. Inedible raw.

First of all, they do not seal. They are closed by a draw string. They may a little overpriced, but they served their purpose for drying food outdoors. I used them to dry pumpkins outside in the sun. They were great for this purpose.

If you put them in plastic bag! In order to really seal a Mason jar, you'd have to have a specially designed top for the jar. Most things that you'd can need heat anyway, I believe you'd just be adding complexity for no benefit. The FoodSaver works great as designed....to seal food in plastic. Canning works great as designed....to seal heated/cooked food in glass/metal. The two processes are different enough that you do not want to mix them.

They work beautifully in the oven...I coat with cooking spray before filling. I assume they would also be fabulous in the microwave, but have not used them that way.

I don't think that this is addressed in the instructions, and we have never used the cooker this way. We refrigerate our cooked rice and warm it in the microwave with a few drops of water.

We have not had any problems using them in the microwave so far, but watch out for superheating. They're pretty smooth, so it may look like water isn't boiling in them, and then the moment you put something in the water, explosive boiling.

You arent suppose to microwave them. I would assume meats would be ok to warm up in a bowl of warm water.

Hello,yes they work very good,iv:e been using food saver 12 gal for 8 mo now and put food in and out all the time,its very easy to seal the bag back up after use,and the hand held vacumm sealer works very good too.im very satisfied with the Reynolds products with a good selection of vacumm baggie sizes.

Hi, they work on any container smaller than the size of the lid. And they work on different materials - plastic, pyrex, glass etc. Keep in mind they just rest on the container, they are not a tight seal. But they are so much better than plastic wrap and better for the environment.

Yes, but I would check food saver website for specifics. They are also safe in the microwave.

I have not used them with the Foodsavrr, but would expect that they would work. The problem that I ser, is that if there is any liquid in the bag at the time of sealing my could get sucked into the machine.

I unsnap the lids and leave them setting loose on top of the container. I suppose if you are worried about the whole plastic issue you could instead cover with a paper towel. Whatever you do, just do not microwave with the lids locked on.

You're supposed to actually cook them in the microwave but, as my review stated, they don't cook-up as intended. About half of them cook, the other half remain as tough, inedible pork shards. Even those that cook as intended aren't very good. I would suggest you steer clear of this product. Buy the previously cooked, packaged pork skins instead.

I have Ben using them to freeze meals for quite some time. I think they do very well. I put them directly into the microwave to heat. However, I have found it is better to remove the lid. The microwave seems to shrink the lid and the next time I try to use the lid it is very hard to put it on the bowl. I enjoy eating from the glass bowl rather than plastic.

yes... anything you froze before, and put in foil & a ziplock bag, before throwing in the fridge, you can seal w/the vacumm... liquids, like soup, need to be frozen to the point of being solid or the vacumm will suck up the liquid causing it not seal properly. home-made tv dinners or small portions of food can be sealed. they even have lids that go on jars that can seal dried foods, etc. meats you have done in a smoker, or foods you have grilled... it's great. no freezer burn.
