Usually, I don't buy stuff like this, but I had a coupon and decided to try them...Ziplock Zip N Steam bags. These things are awesome. I don't know if a regular bag would do the same or not-probably would, I haven't tried it, but I thought I would mention it here for anyone who might be inclined. If you have discarded the microwave, then disregard.
These bags are so easy...just fill them with veggies and your seasonings-no water needed, and pop them in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Voila! You have fresh veggies straight from the garden to your plate. Even corn on the cob only takes 3 or 4 minutes, and it is delicious. I just add a pat of butter and some lemon pepper. For squash, just cut it up and add some onion or Italian herbs or both. Mix and match...broccoli, cauliflower, carrots...all in 2 minutes. The only disadvantage is the size of the bag-I think they need to be bigger. It is quick, easy, and doesn't heat up the kitchen. It's almost gourmet...green beans and almond slivers,,,,,you name it, I've done it. I know this sounds like an infomercial, but I don't care, I like them. I generally don't even buy ziplocks except during canning/freezing season, so if anyone knows whether or not you can use a regular plastic bag to do the same thing, let me know. This is much better than boiling or using the steamer-you have to clean that!
