I'm not sure either.These bags were invented after all the information and research done with heating plastic containers has been published.Maybe I should contact both ziploc and glade and see what they say.

They are more convinant and I'm sure with most items there is still some small amount of toxins that can enter the body.Even when using pans you still need to worry.A few years ago pan sets were said to be bad.At least one type because of chemicals in them.

That's a great idea. Do you think that Glade or Ziploc will respond?

I bought a steamer from amazon and it does the job real well - i just plug it in with a load of veg - it even beeps when its done!

I would never cook any food in plastic. Plastics release chemicals that actually make you gain weight. Problem is the industry knew this and continues to market this stuff to the public.


Google plastic and obesgens. or something like that and read some of the reports.
