Can you steam straight out of the freezer a frozen meal/veggie in the microwave in the 'normal' bag or the bag made out of a roll?

YES, you can, make sure you have a "vent" hole and be sure its on/in a micro safe plate or bowl. First time, I only made 1 little hole and my creamed spinach burst !! I tend to use the boiling water method for heating. I've used BOTH regular sized bags AND special made sized bags.....its NOT the size of the bag, but the 'type' of bag that makes this so great.

NO... I tried and the bag exploded the steamer bags have tiny holes to let the steam escape ...

The alternative is to place in a boiling pan. I find the microwave to be the best choice. Variar remember that you can place in the freezer.

Well, it's a little tricky to vacuum seal things with liquid, as the liquid rises to the top of the bag...thus the need for the removable chamber. Some people suggest freezing the soup/stew/sauce first in a container, then heating it to the point where it is still mostly frozen but will slide out of the container, then putting it in a bag and vacuum sealing. It's a little time intensive but will apparently last MUCH longer than just freezing in a container. Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems with sticking the bags in just boiled water. I bring the water to a boil, cut the heat and stick the bag(s) in the hot water to let the food thall and warm. Note: my bags only hold 1-4 servings. They aren't that big. I've only done this for my frozen veggies and small cuts of meat that have mostly thalled, i.e., for a stir fry. If you put in several bags of frozen food, you may have to heat the water back up for a few minutes but I am very cautious with this because I don't want melted plastic all over the pans I cook with.

When I received it it was not frozen. You can keep it in the freezer and before you eat you can use toaster to defrost or leave it on the kitchen counter for about an hour or two. It stays fresh for about 5-6 days in the closed bag.

All are cold. You do not microwave or freeze them. You fold them in half and shake the product which breaks the inner bag allowing the chemicals to mix and become cold.

you'll need a food Saver sealing machine, that seals and sucks the air out of the bags before freezing. I guess if you are windy enough you might be able to suck the air out.

Yes, you can put this in the freezer then microwave. It won't bend or warp like other packages unless you're overheating it by a couple of minutes. I use it daily from my freezer straigt into the microwave.

I do not always use a plastic bag with freeze-tite. Freeze-tite does a great job of keeping the food from freezer burn but sometimes I wrap items individually and then keep them together with a plastic bag. I love freeze-tite and would never be without it, I use it many times a day because it is much cheaper than plastic bags.

I only use the bag to bring frozen foods home from the grocery store. They're not in the bag for more than 1/2 hour. They're still frozen when I get them home.

I only use it for hot in the microwave. I can tell you that it is a moist heat and would think it would get wet. I wouldn't use it in the freezer personally. That being said, I love this wrap and I am very glad that I got it.

not really, but all you do is slice the veg. as thin as you can and place on the tray. Do not put 2 in the microwave, it does not work as well. Put on high for 3 to 4 minutes, keep looking to check for the item getting brown. Also a note, if you are ,making potato chips, add a little sea salt before you cook, it is great.

I have prepared meals in these liners then placed the crock pot liner in a gallon size freezer bag. I am able to use the freezer bag over and over because the food does not touch it. Hope that helps

I use less water when cooking frozen vegetables in the microwave oven. Usually cook for 3 min., on high then open one side of lid carefully with tongs to avoid hot steam, then test with a skewer or knife. Really trial and error. I also use a microwave plate to easier stabilize the case or use oven gloves when removing from the microwave oven. I own several steam case and pots.

When you use the Food Saver Machine it automatically sucks the air out. You can use it with moist or dry items. I love this product as I like to buy in bulk sometimes at Sam's or Costco's and then I bring it home and divide it up. I'll sometime make the bags ahead of time but it depends on the size of the items you are freezing.

I froze some batter before it was baked and I couldn't tell the difference between that and the normal process. I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but this was pretty easy. You make the batter the normal way and scoop out individual biscuits on a non-stick sheet and then put this into the freezer until they are firm enough not to stick together when you put them into a plastic bag. In general, baked products do pretty well when frozen.
