I bought this bag of broccoli the other day, and Bonnie pointed out, as we were checking out, that the bag had a hole in it. I didn’t want to go back and get another one, so I just paid for it and went home. It didn’t occur to me that the broccoli was meant to cook in the bag, so any hole in the bag would prevent the broccoli from steaming properly. This was a problem. What could I plug the hole with that would be microwave safe?

I looked around and found this plastic fork. I folded the corner of the bag with the hole in it over itself and clipped it with the tines of the fork. Then, I popped it in the microwave and hoped the fork didn’t melt. To my great delight, it didn’t! My broccoli cooked perfectly, and dinner was saved. Yay me!
