One of the best things about being a food blogger is tasting new recipes and trying out products. I was sent the Corn – n -Tater Microwave Cooking bag a while back and once I started using, it became a regular in my kitchen.

I live alone so cooking veggies for one is sometimes difficult. But, I insist of buying fresh produce and enjoy a great variety. One of my favorites is sweet potato.

With my new microwave cooking bag all I need to do is dampen a paper towel and roll up a sweet potato. I then place the wrapped food inside the microwave bag and cook for 3-4 minutes depending on the size of the potato.  No need to prick the potato before cooking.

My sweet potato comes out perfectly every time.

I have also used the micro bag for green beans, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, sugar snap peas and carrots. Because your veggies are in a paper towel, there is no clean-up and the bag does not need to be washed very often. The special lining (blend of cotton and bamboo) is antibacterial and odor resistant, and will NOT mold.

I’m thrilled with this need cooking tool and might even take it with me when I travel. Many hotel rooms have microwave ovens and I bet it would be great for reheating pizza or a hot sandwich.
