Oven bags


Keeping things simple today with Chicken drumsticks, boiled Exquisa potatoes with steamed Sugarsnap peas. I cook the chicken in the oven using one of those oven bag and seasoning kits, which I guess effectively steams the chicken in it’s own juices and keeps it moist, which it does, though the seasoning tastes a bit artificial. Nonetheless, the chicken is complemented well by the nutty potatoes and crisp, sweet peas. There is quite a bit of juice in the bag after so I use a little for gravy.
It is only recently that I have seen these oven bags in the shops and guessing that they are a fairly new technological development, decided to try one. The bag is a very thin, transparent plastic material and shows no sign of melting like traditional plastic when the heat of the oven is applied. My thoughts turn to those undoubtedly brilliant materials scientists who created this fantastic product with ideas for a myriad of cool applications, only for some bright spark in marketing to create an oven bag.
