Abstract
Disclosed is a stand-up microwavable bag for cooking fresh produce. The bag includes a self-saucing mechanism that automatically deposits flavour sauces onto the produce during microwaving. A steam pressure release valve is provided to balance internal steam pressure during microwaving to prevent bag explosion. The bag is also designed to extend the shelf life of produce (whole or pre-cut) to reduce food waste.
