TIPS

Prepping Upfront Tips:​

• Light batch cooking method, by preparing and cutting vegetables ahead of time and portioning them in the silicone bags. Write which meals they are for directly on the bag with a dry-erase marker and place them in the fridge until ready to use for the week. Simply grab them and cook them later on. Reducing prep time for those busy nights.​

Freezer Tips

• Use the freezer fill line when storing liquid ingredients or items with liquid like sauces, soups, or broths for optimum freezing conditions.
• Store the bag upright when liquid ingredients are inside for the first 3-4 hours, once set lay the bags flat for more space.
• Cut fruit, vegetables, grains, or whole pieces of meat, and stack the bags on top of each other for compact storage.

Defrosting Tips

• Defrost overnight in the fridge.
• For quick defrost, place the frozen bag in a bowl of room temperature water, and make sure the bag can stand.
• If defrosting in the microwave, vent the bag slightly and microwave standing up on low power until defrosted.

Fridge Tips

• Liquid ingredients or items with liquid like sauces, soups, or marinades should be stored upright for optimum conditions.
• Cut fruit, vegetables, grains, or whole pieces of meat, and stack the bags on top of each other for compact storage.

Microwave Tips

• For best results, make sure to vent the bag before reheating by leaving a portion of the seal open.
• Always reheat or defrost the bag standing up for best conditions.
• Always reheat on low power to prevent the food from drying out.
• Be mindful, that when defrosting from the freezer, make sure the bottom of the bag can stand flat before placing it in the microwave.
• Make sure the silicone bag is 5cm/ 2in away from the sides and top of the microwave walls.
• Always use oven mitts while handling the silicone bags to avoid burns.
• When opening, always open away from you to allow excess steam to release.
• Make sure the bag can fit easily in the microwave. If the bag is too large, recommend removing the contents and placing them in a microwave-safe container to reheat.

Oven Tips

• For best results, make sure to vent the bag before cooking by leaving a portion of the seal open.
• Leave 5cm/ 2in distance from the oven walls when cooking.
• Cook your favorite dishes in the upright standing position for up to 1 hour.
• Always use oven mitts while handling bags to avoid burns.
• When opening, always open away from you to allow excess steam to release.

Sous Vide Tips

• For best results, make sure to squeeze out excess air and close securely before cooking. This will prevent any water from entering the bag.
• Make sure the pot used allows the bag to fit snugly along the sides, preventing the bag from floating during the cooking process. See the image on the right.

Saves bread from being wasted

• Wasting bread is very bad for the environment. Making bread requires a lot of water (especially growing the grain) and electricity. No slice should be wasted! Freeze the bread in portions in the Ultimate Silicone Bags. Unfreeze them in the morning by opening the bag 1-2 cm and placing them in the microwave oven. As a guideline, 3-4 slices of bread in the medium bag will take approx 1 min. 30 sec at 360 watts. Adapt timing according to the quantity of bread.
