Zucchini grows like crazy during the summer months, leaving many of us scrambling for new and delicious ways to use it. Our microwave-steaming method is the quick and tasty solution you’ve been searching for. Not only does microwaving lock in that just-picked summer flavor, but it’s also incredibly fast. It’s the perfect way to make the most of your summer zucchini haul while keeping all the nutrients intact.

Thanks to the Anyday lid, complete with a nifty steam control valve and a silicone seal, you won’t lose a bit of that peak summer flavor.
