How long should I microwave my Steamfresh bag for?
Depending on the Steamfresh variety, and the wattage of your microwave, we recommend a cook time ranging between 4 and 6 minutes. Each of the nine Steamfresh varieties will have a more specific microwaving range, based upon an 1100 watt microwave. Do you know your microwave wattage? If so, refer to our Perfect Vegetables for specific cook times for each variety.
Can I microwave more than one Steamfresh package?
For best quality, we do not recommend cooking more than one package at a time. For Steamfresh Singles, you may cook two bags at one time by following the directions on the outer package.
Should my Steamfresh bag puff up while microwaving?
Yes! During cooking, the bag will slowly inflate. Pressure will build up inside the bag and eventually release a special vent, which will allow steam to escape.
Should my Steamfresh bag hiss/whistle while microwaving?
Yes! During cooking, the bag will slowly inflate. A special vent in the bag will allow the steam to escape and a slight whistling/hissing sound may be heard.
Should I defrost Steamfresh prior to microwaving?
There is NO need to defrost! For best quality, keep Steamfresh frozen until you are ready to use it.
Should I pierce the Steamfresh bag prior to microwaving?
Do NOT pierce the bag prior to microwaving Steamfresh. Our packaging has a special vent built into the bag that allows steam to escape during the cooking process.
