I only gave it four stars simply because fresh is always better, however these come so close to fresh. They are easy to use and they leave the vegetables a good texture. I don't like when vegetables get soggy/mushy. The steaming bag seems to prevent that. They are really quick too, it's the perfect addition to most dinners and I highly recommend them.
Love the steamers. There is one the green beans that I really do not care for, but the peas are crisp and pop in your mouth. Best ever.
