Do I need to put the bag on a plate in the microwave?

Just follow the cooking instructions on the paper pouch, making sure to check the microwave wattage for the best cooking. All our tests are conducted using an 1100 watt microwave oven.

In a conventional oven, the steam pouch needs to be positioned on a tray rather than placed directly on an oven rack.
