Those can be cooked from the frozen state in the microwave.
Lately, I've started sealing stuff in sealed ziplocks with all or most
of the air removed to make up for the expansion as it heats. I then
place that into a plastic bowl.
Steams veggies great once you get the hang of it. :-)
Pastorio's method is even better if you have the patience to mess with
cling wrap. Put the veggies into a microwave safe bowl and seal well
with plastic wrap before nuking. He says to add no water, but I do add
just a little, like a tablespoon or so.
Cheers!
