About Simple Steps® Package

Thanks to Cryovac® convenience packaging solutions, serving everything from fresh steamed asparagus and broccoli to ready-to-eat beef, pork and poultry is as simple as pie. The Simple Steps® package provides solutions for your dinnertime challenges.

Are you looking for a last minute, nutritious meal idea that’s just as quick as picking up fast food?
It only takes about five minutes to prepare a Simple Steps® product. Just remove the tray from its outer packaging, heat for the designated time and allow it to cool slightly. Then remove the easy-open film and serve. Check out these recipes to add a homemade touch with only a few extra ingredients.

Do you want a quick meal that you can pull out of the freezer at a moment’s notice?
Because Simple Steps® products are vacuum packaged, you can freeze them without the risk of freezer burn. Keep several on hand in the freezer for quick mealtime options.

Do you want to minimize dinnertime clean-up?
With Simple Steps® products, dinnertime clean-up can be as easy as throwing away a tray. You can serve or eat directly from the tray, so there are no pots or pans to clean up. Plus, unlike other microwaveable foods, the top film keeps the food from splattering in your microwave. Another thing you won’t have to clean!

Do you have trouble keeping all your food hot when it’s coming out of the microwave at different times?
With the Simple Steps® package, you don’t have to puncture or peel the film until you are ready to eat, so the heat stays locked inside.

Are you tired of cuts, spills and burns from pouches?
Unlike other microwaveable packaging with a pouch that you have to cut or vent, you don’t need to use a sharp knife or fork to puncture holes in the Simple Steps® package before heating. The special film expands and then self-vents and relaxes over the food. So there’s less risk of cuts and spills. And when the product is finished cooking the easy-grip, stay-cool side handles make it easy to remove the tray from the microwave without potholders.

Do you purchase fresh vegetables only to have them spoil before you have a chance to cook them?
Produce packaged using Simple Steps® technology is vacuum packaged, locking in freshness and flavor. The appearance of the vegetables in the tray may look different than other packaging because the film is tightly vacuumed to the tray, but foods maintain their freshness and flavor longer when vacuum packaged because they don't come in contact with oxygen. See close-up view.

Do you find it takes too much prep time to add a healthy side dish to your meal?
No need to chop vegetables. Vegetables are already cleaned and cut, prepped, and ready to be steamed in the microwave.
