It is favorably distinguished from foil by the fact that it is transparent, and therefore, it is possible to observe the cooking process. In addition, when cooking fragrant food, for example, with garlic, the smell does not penetrate into the room, as is usually the case with foil.

Some more benefits of this package:

• oven and baking sheet do not get dirty with splashes of fat and juice;
• meat or fish is cooked in its own juice, so the end result is very tasty and, moreover, he althy;
• all vitamins and microelements are preserved in food.

This miracle is sold most often in packs of three meters. To use, a baking bag is cut to the desired length. The product is rubbed with spices and s alt and placed in the sleeve. Then the edges of the bag are tied on both sides. After that, it remains only to put it all in the oven and bake the allotted time.

Sometimes they come withspecial metal clips, clothespins, then the edges are closed with them. But when cooking in the microwave, metal clips cannot be used. In this case, you just need to cut two thin strips from the bag and tie the sleeve for baking with them on both sides.

Not all manufacturers provide perforation for steam to escape when cooking. Therefore, before use, the package must be pierced in several places. In some sleeves, a small corner is simply cut off. If this is not done, the bag may simply burst in the oven. In addition, to avoid the same trouble, it is important to ensure that the ends of sufficient length remain on both sides of the product. Otherwise, the steam pressure may cause the clamps to slip during cooking.

Usually, the baking sleeve is designed for temperatures no higher than 200 degrees. At higher temperatures, it may begin to melt. In general, it is better not to risk and not use the bag in the oven, heated to more than 150 degrees. In addition, the sleeve must not be allowed to touch the oven walls, otherwise it will melt and stick to them.

Baking bags can be used both for cooking meat and fish dishes, and for baking vegetables - potatoes, zucchini, etc. According to the reviews of many housewives, potatoes in such a sleeve turn out to be very tasty. You can bake both peeled and chopped potatoes, and potatoes in their skins. And if you put it in a bag along with meat, chicken or fish, it will be completely saturated with their juice.
