DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Bag for cooking potatoes and other vegetables in a microwave oven (1) (Figs. 1,2, and 3) presented as a wrapper for the rapid cooking of potatoes and other farm products in microwave ovens, consisting of a bag (1) of rectangular shape, almost square whose dimensions are adequate to be able to deposit it on the glass plates of the usual microwave ovens, being made of 100% cotton fabric (3) with thread-based seams preferably of cotton. The bag (1) is made with a fabric sheath (3) that encloses in its interior a filling of two layers of polyester wadding of 120 gr / m2 per layer. See section (p-q) (Fig. L). To secure the products it contains during the cooking process, the bag

(1) is equipped with a flap (2) that performs the closing functions. The flap is, in fact, an extension of the piece formed by the double fabric (3) filled with wadding (4), which avoids more sophisticated closures such as plastic zippers, eyelets and buttons, Velcro® or any other type that, logically, must be free of any metal for proper use of the microwave oven. By way of example, it can be indicated that this bag is very suitable for cooking horticultural products such as potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, onions, zucchini, artichokes, mushrooms, corn cobs or the like with the advantage that these products are available, cooked and ready to serve on the table, in a

Although the preferred shape by its inventors is rectangular, almost square other polygonal or circular designs that best fit the glass plates of the ovens are not discarded. However, these designs that, on the one hand, are advantageous, make the manufacturing process more expensive and may not be interesting. The bag (1), noticeably flat, is very light and is manufactured in plain or printed fabrics of attractive colors, one or both sides can be used as

5 support for advertising reasons.
