Sirane has launched Sira-Cook Smart-Release, a microwave, multi-compartment steam cooking bag.

The two-compartment steam cooking bag allows food and sauces to be kept separate in the packaging – sealed into two compartments. The central dividing seal has been designed to rupture in a controlled way, allowing the mixing of the contents of the two compartments. A second vent in the main compartment then opens, maintaining pressure in the bag.

A solution for ready meals, it is said to have lots of potential uses, such as seafood with a sauce, fruit-based desserts like rhubarb and custard and side dishes with a sauce – for example, cauliflower cheese.
