Ziploc has you beat with Zip and Steam

I am a fiend for freebies. Once a week I search through my tried and true freebie websites and request whatever samples I may be interested in. One of my favorite freebie sites is the free sample section of Walmart.com. It was on this site that I was first introduced to the Ziploc Zip and Steam. As a freelance writer and busy mom of four I thought, sure why not give it a try.

Ziploc Zip and Steam beats out all the pots and pans I currently own. No need to purchase Rachel Ray's or Emeril's pricey pans, steamers or other cooking equipment. The Zip and Steam takes the Ziploc bag to a whole new level and even provides directions, cooks well, and no clean up required.

Zip and Steam bags come in two sizes, medium and large. The medium bag cooks two - three servings per bag with ten (10) bags per package. The large bag is three to five servings per bag with seven (7) bags per package. The cost per package varies, but is approximately $3.00 per package. The Zip and Steam bag is a variation on the traditional zip lock bag. First it has patented vents that allow food to be steamed in the microwave cooking it thoroughly and evenly. You simply place your meat, vegetables, seasonings, spices, and so forth into one layer within the bag. My trick, place it all in the bag, give a small, gentle shake to distribute the seasonings. Next place the sealed bag into the microwave and cook for a specified number of minutes.
