Oven cooking bags are clear, heat-resistant plastic bags that create a moist cooking environment for meats and vegetables, resulting in more even and faster cooking. They have vents to allow steam to escape and eliminate the need for basting.
An oven cooking bag is a clear, heat-hardened plastic bag made to hold various foods, usually meats and vegetables. These cooking bags are designed not to melt due to the high heat of the oven and a moist cooking environment is formed inside the bag. They also allow for more even cooking and often faster cooking than using the traditional pan method.
Usually, a little flour is put into the baking bag of the oven and a little shake will help distribute the coating around the bag. Subsequently, the food to be cooked is placed inside and the bag is closed with the resulting nylon tie. The bag is placed in a baking sheet or pan. The vents at the top of the bag are an important feature because they allow steam to escape. Oven racks should be spaced far enough apart so that when the oven cooking bag expands during cooking, the bag does not touch the heating element.
When the food inside the oven cooking bag is cooked, the top of the bag must be opened carefully to avoid burns from the steam. The food should cool down a bit and then be carefully taken out of the bag. The directions for any particular brand should always be followed.
There are several varieties of baking bags, such as those for microwaves, slow cookers, and conventional ovens. Using one to cook a roast can be more convenient than simply placing the meat in a roasting pan on its own. In the pan alone method, the roast will tend to dry out on top, so frequent basting is necessary. The cook should periodically remove the pan from the oven and spoon the juices from the pan over the roast to keep it from drying out. A baking bag eliminates the need for this basting because the steam created inside the bag keeps the meat moist.
