Agrow also worked with the supplier of the steaming bag, M&Q Packaging, to come up with a folding process that makes It easy to insert the steaming bag on an automated packaging line. “It’s a win-win for everyone,” says Mike Recchia, Agrow Fresh president.

The 11 x 17-inch MQ36  bag is a 1-mil, oil-resistant, nylon structure that is oven-safe up to and including 400 deg F and meets FDA standards for high-temperature cooking. It’s delivered to Agrow Fresh pre-folded to the size of a match book and inserted into a 24-oz bag of fresh potatoes. At meal time, just open the MQ36, fill it with potatoes and seasonings, close the bag using the plastic tie provided, and pop into the microwave for 12 minutes.
