Questions about FoodSaver Microwavable Meal Prep Bags, for FoodSaver Vacuum Sealers, 1 Quart, 16 Ct.

I freeze meals in the regular FS bags and cut a slit in the side to vent before I microwave. Is there a difference between that way and these bags?

Answer: Shouldn't be a difference, they are the same bag just sealed and perforated for smaller portions.

Answer: there are actually heat and seal rolls you can get- those are like, a thousand times better. you can make it whatever size, and then no need to vent, you can pop them in the microwave without slitting them. I really didn't like these bags because they sometimes didn't seal well and I couldn't always tailor them to the size I needed.

Answer: Yes this sure is. I used to do it the way you do but it kept leaking and i had a mess to clean. With these,... dont ask me how but they breath but do not leak and cook very evenly!!

Aren't these single-use bags? They seem pretty expensive.

Answer: They are single use--they are mostly for people on the go. You freeze your portions in the bags and then they go directly to the microwave. If you don't have time to cook/clean up every night they are wonderful. I also use them for my lunches because they are so quick and convenient.

Answer: Yes they are single use bags and I do not use them without careful thought because they are expensive. However, they do work really well. For example, I layered Thanksgiving dinner in them and enjoyed turkey day again and again.

Answer: They are single use bags. The advantage to these is they allow you to cook something in the microwave straight out of the freezer (foods that were previously cooked and vacuum sealed that is). This is a great advantage to someone with a schedule that is never the same and doesn't allow for planning ahead and defrosting something in the refrigerator ahead of time. It only takes a couple minutes in the microwave to heat up a meal from the freezer with these bags.

Answer: There are single use steamer bags, but you can also seal them and freeze for later use.

What's the difference between these and regular FoodSaver bags?

Answer: You can put these directly into the microwave and cook your vegetable or whatever. They are the same as the the vegetable in the store that say Steam in Bag or something like that. I put up some fresh Brussel Sprouts and Asparagus They were as fresh as the day they were picked. I love these bags.

Answer: These are made for the microwave and work like stream and cook you buy in freezer section at store. They have a list of cooking times for foods on the bags. great for putting up fresh veggies or left overs.

Answer: The microwave bags are vented and made specifically to cook your veggies, instead of just heating them up. Whenever we get a bargain on veggies at the market, we freeze them in these bags. Then you just throw the frozen bag into the micro for a few minutes. The bag material is similar to those used commercially for steamer veggies. We have had a Food Saver ever since they were introduced. This is the best bag they have produced for ease of use and quality of food.

Answer: you can cook in them, microwavable.

can you pour boiling water into these and reconstitute dried vegetables, ramen, etc.? Specifically I would like to use for dried foods while camping

Answer: Temperatures above 170 degrees F can possibly compromise the integrity of the bags depending on how the bags were stored, handled, or used after purchase. In general, we recommend using only simmering water with FoodSaver Bags.

Answer: I don't see why not. You can submerge the bag in boiling water.

Answer: I would think so, since they are able to place them in boiling water to cook, and some of them are microwaveable

Answer: These bags have vent holes. Try using the zip lock Mylar bags.they do not have vent wholes. Have seen this done on YouTube.

is there a way to seal these bags for cooking if you do not own a foodsaver appliance?

Answer: Hello, this is Klaudia from FoodSaver!

Answer: To the best of my experience, no. You must be able to seal the plastic while producing a vacuum in the bag. Let me know if you figure something out... Denny

Answer: There has to be a heat source to fuse the bag shut for it to be able to be immersed in water or microwave. The contents would have to be pre frozen and the air removed. Otherwise the bag ma explode or the contents would develop freezer burn.

Answer: no you need the foodsaver equipent

can you use the regular foodsaver bags as cook bags

Answer: I don’t think so

They say quart but everyone is saying they are single serving. Are these quart in the sense they hold as much as a quart ziplock would?

Answer: These are FoodSaver Freeze 'N Steam Microwave Quart Vacuum-Seal Cooking Bags. The dimensions are 8.4 x 4 x 2.

Can these bags be washed and reused?

Answer: The Freeze 'N Steam bags cannot be reused.

Answer: Yes, They wash and are reusable for a little less size I get as much as 5 uses on the same bag. Just be careful when you open them to cut just below the seal that way you get more bag space for the next usage.

Answer: These bags can not be resused

Answer: No they can not. You have to cut them open so they would get smaller and smaller each time. Also the bag changes how if feels once used.

I have not found the answer to this. Are these bags reusable?

Answer: These bags are not reusable since they are ventilated for easy microwave use. Most other FoodSaver Bags are reusable.

Answer: I read all of the content that was on the box of bags that I received and did not see it say that you could or could not reuse these bags. These are to be used with the sealing machine: Food Saver which uses heat to create a seal - not a zip type bag. You have to cut the bag open to get to your food after it has been steamed...... I suppose you could try it, but your bag will get smaller with each use, and the company probably cannot give you advise on reuse because they don't want to be responsible in case of bacteria left over from the previous use....

Answer: No.

Is it BHP free?

Answer: These bags are BPA free.

Answer: yes, the packages are BPE free

Are these bags BPA free?

Answer: Yes. Our FoodSaver bags are BPA free. Thanks!

Answer: yes.

Are these bags for cooking or only reheat cooked food?

Answer: Hello, this is Filip from FoodSaver Care. Thank you for contacting us regarding our FoodSaver 1-Quart Freeze 'n Steam Microwavable Single-Cooking Bags. While it is possible to use these bags for cooking, we do not recommend putting them in water above 170F.

Answer: According to the manufacturer, food can be microwaved, boiled and steamed in these bags so you can also cook in them.

Answer: they are microwave cooking in the bag. I really like them. I freeze most of my veggies from our gardens and happy to be able to buy them. Can not go wrong in using them.

Answer: We use them to steam cook all of our vegetables. They work very good for us. Be careful when you take them out of the microwave because of the steam.

Answer: The wife par boilies the veggies and then freezes them for a later time. Then she put them in the microwave for the time needed to steam them. Work just fine. Hope this answer your question.

Answer: Not for oven use...

Answer: Both

Can you boil these? I'm trying to lay off the microwave a bit.

Answer: We do not recommend boiling these bags, but you can heat cooked foods in a FoodSaver bag in a simmering pot. Only place bags with frozen food inside the simmering water. The coldness of the food will keep the bag from becoming too hot while the food is heating up. Temperatures above 170 degrees F can possibly compromise the integrity of the bags depending on how the bags were stored, handled, or used after purchase. This is why we recommend that you do not use temperatures over 170 degrees F.

How long do these bags last in the freezer?

Answer: dont knoe

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

Answer: 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!

Answer: 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.

Do you have to blanche your veggies before using this bag?

Answer: I am not sure, however I always do for safety sake as blanching keeps nutrients in the veggies.

Answer: i use them for already cooked food but I don’t think I would blanched fresh veggies before freezing

Answer: No we put the vegetables in the bag with a little olive oil an a. Dash of garlic salt a seal the bag an put it in the microwave.The back of the bag tells you how to cook them.

Answer: It helps but is not required if you use them within a year.

Answer: No

Could you freeze left over soup in them?

Answer: You need to freeze the soup in a container first, release it from container , then put it in the bag and seal. This works great for me good luck.

Answer: If you freeze the soup first, then use the food saver, you could, but you can't do liquids directly. :(

Answer: Yes but not able to suck air out. You would lose some shelflife on product.

Can these be used in a non "Food Saver" vacuum sealer??

Answer: These bags are designed for use exclusively FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing Systems. The sealing bar on your unit may either be too hot, which will melt the bags, or too cool, which will result in a bag that is not sealed properly. Hope this helps!

How do these bags work for sous vide cooking? Are they too small?

Answer: We wouldn't recommend you use our Freeze 'N Steam bags, because the vents may allow water in. For best results with the sous vide cooking method, we would recommend you use our regular FoodSaver heat-seal bags and rolls. Happy sealing!

What size are these, quart, gallon, etc?

Answer: These are quart size bags. Happy shopping!

Answer: I would call these almost 2 quart. Definitely not a gallon, but much more than a quart sized storage bag.

Answer: Quart

Answer: They hold between 2 and 3 cups of vegetables

Do these work with the handheld device?

Answer: These bags are made for our FoodSaver Vacuum systems. They are not compatible with the handheld devices.

will the bag be boiled other cook in the microwave ?

Answer: I cook it in the microwave, we even do left over rice in then.

What device works. Do all food saver devices seal with heat.? I am not sure what to buy so I can use theses bags.

Answer: these bags work with most machines but are manly used for food that is done and frozen to work like steam fresh veggies. I love these bags as it saves you money rather than buying frozen veggies

Answer: The food saver machine is a vacuum and heat systems. It draws out the air in the bag and then seals it. This gives it a longer shelf life in the freezer and prevents freezer burn.

Answer: All food saver bags - several producers - fit all machines..

Answer: I think they all do but I am not sure. Go to Food saver .com and they will be able to answer you,

I need to know if these bags plastic bags contain the BPA toxin as found in many plastics. "I do not know" is an unsatisfactory answer! Please advise.

Answer: According to the FoodSaver website the bags are BPA free. http://www.foodsaver.com/service-%26-support/product-support/product-faqs/bags-%26-rolls/general-questions/bags-and-rolls-general-questions-faq.html

Answer: According to the FoodSaver website none of their bags contain BPA.

Product reviews of FoodSaver Microwavable Meal Prep Bags, for FoodSaver Vacuum Sealers, 1 Quart, 16 Ct.

Frank D : Good Product

I have had a food saver ever since the came out. All there bags are great. This is nice to have if you like frozen veggies.

Teeko : Worst Item Ever

This item is terrible!!! I tried four bags and each one leaked on one side. These were manufactured with a poor seal. I was not able to reseal as I had liquid in the bag and I could not form a new seal. I am used to sealing twice on the open edges but not on the manufactured sealed edges. Had to clean up the mess on my counter and place each bag in another regular food saver bag. Just glad I noticed before placing in my refrigerator and freezer. What a mess that would be.

Beverly Copeland : Five Stars

Great!

KristinaK : Super Convenient!

I love these things! I invested in a Food Saver a few years ago when my work schedule was so hectic with my busy season & travel, I didn't have time shop, cook, etc.

I used these microwavable bags for everything like produce and small meals. I'd cook or shop once a week and then put everything into my Food Saver bags. This way I'd have quick meals for the week that would stay fresh. The meals were also great for lunches at work when I couldn't step out to get food.

Overall I do find these on the expensive side but for convenience they are worth every penny. They truly have been a great lifesaver for me during a very busy time!

slowdown : Five Stars

Great product and you can reseal and use over and over again

Lee B : Won't Be Without These

Love these, steamed veggies in a few minutes!

Dexter : Five Stars

they work

KristinaK : Super Convenient!

Ardith Harris : poor

This product will not seal when freezing high moisture vegetables. I will try these on those items that do not need branching.

Bruce Weiner : No self seal

Not what I expected. Doesn’t seal itself.

Dan : Works great.

Works great.

Kenyon L Pease Jr : Five Stars

Use them all the time

Lynn Handley : Easy to use! Fast & easy

I LOVE these. I steam my veggies and these make my life so much easier. I used to use Ziploc steam bags but they are not making them right now. I fill my bag with veggies, seal it. Microwave for 3 min and I have perfectly steamed veggies! Makes life easy & no waiting for water to boil!!

BBJ : Like it

Easy to seal with my sealer. Great in the microwave. The only issue I have is trying to use it with a bulky product such as broccoli. I can not fill it enough for 2 servings and get it sealed.

Cruiser : Another great Food Saver product.

Easy to use and very handy. I use these about 3-4 times a week. The directions are clear and when followed, the food is cooked perfectly.

Lorrie Batson : Bag steamer

Need a food sealer

Amazon Customer : Don't buy

They don't seal up

Kevin R. : not fond of microwave meals, but this is good bag to use for pre-made meals

great for our intended use we recommend this product to a friends, family and co-workers we will definitely order more of them

Alex P. : great for reheating leftovers

We love to freeze and steam our food. This makes for a great system to use with our foodsaver. Saves us money!

Theda Smith : Five Stars

Love my foodsaver bags and like that I can get different sizes ,

Sandi C : Just what I wanted!

Great for freezing small portions!

Elizabeth Ann : Five Stars

What a wonderful convenience! Thanks for making my life a little easier.

Julie M. : Love these

From garden to freezer to microwave. Love these

Kokopelli : The only choice

These bags are the only choice in our household. We have had a Food Saver since they first appeared on the market. We've worn out two and are on our third machine. We started out years ago with the old "seal a meal," which was a lot less than perfect! The bags are commercial weight, so there are no tiny pinprick holes that gradually ruin the seal. The weight of the bag also means that they microwave evenly. An added benefit is the cooking time reminder chart on the bag. Having pre-made bags just makes it easier to preserve food. Our fresh corn is on the market now in CA, and we just froze 20 ears (shucked) in the bags.

E J SCHNEIDER : Nice

Perfect....love the unit but wish it would vacumn out the air when it seals.

BBJ : Like it

Easy to seal with my sealer. Great in the microwave. The only issue I have is trying to use it with a bulky product such as broccoli. I can not fill it enough for 2 servings and get it sealed.

LafIng : not enough stars

these have become indespensible in our home. My husband and I like to shop at costco, but there's only 2 of us so often produce went to waste. These not only seal and preserve produce, but make cooking a snap. Faster than steaming on the stove with the same results.

Darnell E. Miller : Work great

I freeze my garden veggies and these bags keep them fresh and do great to steam cook in the microwave

Connie Fuller : Works as well as the old ones

I was so upset when I could no longer get the vegetable steamer bags I was using that I ordered several kinds just to see if they matched up. They didn't - except for this one. It is not designed to be used the way I use it, but it works just fine. Put the veggies in, lay it on its side in the microwave (no way to close it) and cook away! So far everything we have put into it has cooked perfectly!

Amazon Customer : Works well after several uses

Product works well

Senior Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Great Buy

E J SCHNEIDER : Nice

Perfect....love the unit but wish it would vacumn out the air when it seals.

Denny : Happy

Happy

My single children loves these., I make frozen meals ahead and all they have to do is heat in the microwave - easy for them and comforting to me to know they are getting feed. These work great. I do have a FoodSaver vacuum sealer so no problems there.

ImAmom : Good for purpose they are made

Nice bags but they don’t hold suction well. I guess you can’t really have the weaved or meshed bags that allow you to steam and also have an air tight storage vacuum seal.

They are good for their purpose

Lou Haggerty : Food Saver Cooking Bags Work

I have more version so of the Food Saver and strongly recommend using the official bags only. They are great and they work.

Beverly Copeland : Five Stars

Great!

Betsy J. Depersis : Thanksgiving dinner all over again

We were sick of Thanksgiving leftovers so I layered turkey slices, dressing, potatoes and gravy. During the busy holiday season it has been a treat to pull out one of the Thanksgiving bags and have some comfort food without the fuss. I probably won't use them frequently but will keep some around for large quantities of freezable leftovers that I'd like to have later on.

GeorgiaLeeSweetHomer : Five Stars

beboe2 : ok for everyday

Not as thick as freezer bags so freezing til use is not recommended.

robert patnaude : good idea but doesnt work

would work on anything without moisture, blanched some broccoli, was impossible to use these as it was too wet to seal

Pauline L. Obert : Five Stars

Great because I am alone a widow. Makes thing easier.

chickie : best for freezing veggies

So happy to get the Foodsaver freeze and seal bags. We have a big garden and freeze a lot of veggies. Love these bags.

RalphieSays : EASY 2 USE - BRINGS NEW LIFE to a decades old, mostly unused vacuum sealer

Steam anything and everything. Fresh, Frozen, Thawed, or Unthawed.
Superior Taste & Superior Texture results especially with veggies like fresh & frozen peas. (compared to boiling)
Faster & Easier to use than a dedicated Steamer with no post-use clean-up. (No cleaning the steaming unit with smelly vinegar!)

With Zip Loc's Steamer Bags being out of production since 2020.. This product has saved me hours of cooking. Bags are single-use and somewhat spendy. But if you're someone who benefits from FAST & EASY cooking of multiple veggies (or meats) each and every day? The per-unit price makes sense.

And it's quite useful if you're 1 of millions of homes with a mostly unused vacuum sealer! I had no idea we had one stored away from 15-20 years ago.

BONUS - For the culinary clueless types like yours truly... Cooking Instructions for many items are printed on bag! Anything out-of-the-ordinary (ex. ethnic foods) = you can probably find instructions for online within seconds.
