Ziploc Zip'n Steam's Western Omelet with Cheese

[pearlipop]

lol this is really cool!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Hayleythejonez you are delightful :)

[1jojolicious]

Cooooooool Beaners....:0)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@1jojolicious haha I love this..it really is fun!

[soonfully]

I bought some of those bags a while back havent even opened the box so glad to know what to use it for. This is such a clever idea Beth one of your best.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@soonfully Thanks! I really liked it the second my eyes lit on tha recipe!

[Gardeninggirl1107]

That's good :)

[Gardeninggirl1107]

I love omelets! Did the plastic bag smell "plasticky" or leave any kind of chemical smell to the omelet?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Gardeninggirl1107 Nope, not at all. And I'm super sensitize to plastic smells and tastes. I often get that with certain types (numbers) of plastic. Tupperware will often do that to me

[Goobian]

I get the green giant and birdseye steamer veggie bags all the time. Cook the veggies in the microwave, then toss the package afterwards. That and a burger and fries and you got yourself a meal in about 20 minutes.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Goobian oooh I have never seen that brand here

[Goobian]

@CookingAndCrafting They are really good. We have the cauliflower, carrot and broccoli with cheese sauce one a lot. They even have ones with pasta but the point is to eat something that is healthy so I have only bought the pasta ones a couple of times. The ones with butter sauce is really good too.

[rozozzy]

hello sister, butter is never optional!! it's mandatory!!lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@rozozzy bwahaha I agree :)

[ElleEmLee]

Great idea for preparing for busy mornings the night before. What a time saver! You rock, Beth!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ElleEmLee Thanks! That is a fantastic idea too!

[MamawCindy]

Thanks for Sharing this! I have got to get some of those Bags. Looks YUMMY!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MamawCindy They are awesome! I have another dish coming up using them... found them at Walmart

[dreamer72fem]

That was really cool:)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@dreamer72fem I had another this morning--wonderful!!

[dpostuk]

Mmm you are spoiling us nummy mmmm

[CookingAndCrafting]

@dpostuk Thanks hehe

[nay1134]

im gonna have to try that because its exhausting to try to make omelets on the stove. i always end up not being able to turn the omelete without breaking parts of it anyways lol. 

[CookingAndCrafting]

@nay1134 Yeah, I can never really get a perfect one when I add stuff to it

[MissPonderosa]

haha that is cool! GW :D

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MissPonderosa Thanks :) 

[tc2010vancouver]

that looks AWESOME !

youtube cheers for that!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@tc2010vancouver Thank you!

[darlynn12]

wow cool idea!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@darlynn12 I love this..now I can have picture perfect omelets haha 

[fezan84]

Your videos are always a great study break for me, thanks again for another good one :D. I don't always have time to comment but I do get around to watching most all of them. That omelette came out pretty good, if I could find those bags at a good price (maybe tomorrow), I'd definitely try it out.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@fezan84 I bought a new package today--I think there are ten of them in there and it was $3.36 at Walmart. It will probably be around $2.50 there, I bet. It is always way cheaper on the mainland.

[Ultimatecruegirl]

Shut up! Where did you get those bags? I want some of them I have never seen them. DH would love this and I would have less mess to clean. WINNER WINNER chicken dinner.

I'm going to have to hunt those bags down.

Thanks so much.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Ultimatecruegirl I get them at Walmart and Safeway .. it was $3.36 but you will pay much cheaper.

[wildheart5]

The omelet looks good! I have used them for corn on the cob and they work great! 

[CookingAndCrafting]

@wildheart5 yep, four minutes and you are set! :)

[Fitange]

Awesome! Mmm I'm drooling big time lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Fitange It was so good! I am going to have another one tomorrow :)

[WackaDoodleFreeZone]

I have never tried those bags Beth, I will have to look into them for at least the corn idea that you mentioned. Ill bet its much better than boiling it on the stove. You know me I am also always looking for ways to change things up. Thanks for sharing this one with us. HUGS xo

[CookingAndCrafting]

@WackaDoodleFreeZone Yeah, it only takes 4 min and you are eating corn!

[Nicoledaly87]

This is so neat!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Nicoledaly87 Thanks :)

[imperceptibleme]

It looks delish and I bet the kids would love to throw things into a bag and nuke it. They may eat it better. Hugs girl!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@imperceptibleme Yep, kids would love making this!

[zelda1963may]

No washing up.....I love the idea!!!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@zelda1963may Exactly!! I had just the cutting board and knife to wash. If I didn't crack the eggs for ease on the video, I wouldn't have had that :)

[MsChopperdog]

I use these bags to steam vegis. I love them, I`ll have to try an omelet this weekend, Thanks.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MsChopperdog Yep, they are great for the veggies. 4 min and you are eating corn on the cob

[091754bev]

I tried this before...saw Paula Deen make them...but cooked on stovetop in a pot of boiling water. Delish!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@091754bev oh yes, I have seen the recipes for the boiling in a pot of water one

[jcrefasi1]

Thats good news about the toxins!! I usually steam veggies in a covered glass casserole. I may try the bags so I don't have so many dishes to do!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@jcrefasi1 I like the results from the bags--nice stuff

[yoliebean]

This looks awesome! With a slice of sourdough toast and coffee.....yummmmmm

[CookingAndCrafting]

@yoliebean mmmm yeah that sounds good

[CookingAndCrafting]

so people, relax. No toxins found in these bags.

[DawndeeDALLAS]

I have a rule of no plastic in the microwave because of the toxins it can put into the food. I am wondering if those bags are a new plastic that does not do that.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@DawndeeDALLAS Toxins are my favorite ingredient, though!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@DawndeeDALLAS I googled and found the following:

Clearly good news: None of the samples of sauce or gravy had detectable levels of either BPA or phthalates.

Products tested that contained no phthalates or BPA:

[DawndeeDALLAS]

@CookingAndCrafting Well that is good news ...thanks for the 411 on that...

[Makousen]

Oh my goodness, this is neat. Thanks for sharing, ma'am. :-)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Makousen You're welcome :)

[ArgentineShamrock]

Forgot to tell you that I got this video in my queue - yay!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ArgentineShamrock Sounds like quite a few did get it--yay indeed!

[ArgentineShamrock]

I'm going to get some of these bags, I like the idea of using them for corn as you do. My microwave also has nuclear power ha!, have to cut times because I end up drying/burning up food (can't stand the smell of burnt popcorn - yuk)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@ArgentineShamrock It makes it faster and easier--no stove going for long periods of time!

[COOLIKEDATAZIAN]

Wow that is a beautiful omelete Looks really good!! I think we may have to try those bags out.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@COOLIKEDATAZIAN Yep--do. The omelet was perfect! 

[jcrefasi1]

I've cooked an omelet in the microwave on a plate before but I'm hesitant to nuke plastic. I'm just an old fart suffering from chronic paranoia.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@jcrefasi1 Toxins taste super good

[CookingAndCrafting]

@jcrefasi1 I googled and found the following:

[twish1999]

how fascinating, and the end result did indeed look yummy

:-)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@twish1999 It was awesome!

[thizizliz]

Magic! What fun for kids and you can choose the ingredients to suite each one. I've known campers to do that by popping them into a pan of boiling water; it makes it easy for everyone to have their eggs custom without eating one at a time. Nice.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@thizizliz Oh yeah, I bet Bain would love this. Throw things in, zap it!

[TheChattagirl]

I have not been getting any new vids in my inbox for several days now. This looks SO good!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@TheChattagirl Yes, I am hoping that they are fixing it slowly but surely

[nicogs97]

yummy

[CookingAndCrafting]

@nicogs97 I just had a lean cuisite spaghetti meat sauce. DELICIOUS

[nicogs97]

@CookingAndCrafting

yummy

[starkrazi]

Cool.... will have to get some steam bags now!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@starkrazi I LOVE these bags. I even reuse them when I have a bunch of corn to steam,

[GothyPingu]

@angelbaby10474 who's lisa?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@GothyPingu Lisa is angelbaby10474..she signs her name at the end of her comments, like a lot of people do :) I like it because now I know her name and can address her by her name!

[angelbaby10474]

This one unfortunately did not come to my subscription box. Sorry, Lisa

[CookingAndCrafting]

@angelbaby10474 Thanks Lisa--that sucks. At least half of them are showing up

[snarkdetriomphe]

4 out of five dentists recommend western ziploc omelets to their patients who chew omelets. yes, i know that's trident.

in other news... yum! i used to live near a little sandwich shop that did same by putting all ingredients in a bowl and then just tipping the microwaved results on an english muffin - you wouldnt know it hadnt been done on a pan on the stove!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe Are you here all week? ;)

I have done them in a cup before and it is okay but just a little overcooked--I just have to play with the time on my microwave. It tends to run high. If it tells you to cook for 4-5 min, then you need to cook it just under 4 min on mine

[antonio30824]

Hey kids!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@antonio30824 Hey :)

[cring768]

I've heard of this but have never done nor have I seen it done! Very cool indeed!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@cring768 The second I saw this, I knew I had to make it :)

[snarkdetriomphe]

hey kid - where's the dentyne?
