Lightly salted cucumbers are both an appetizer for strong drinks, and an ideal addition to various popular dishes (meat, pilaf, boiled or fried potatoes, sandwiches). Traditionally, this vegetable is lightly salted in a tray or jar. But if they are not there, or if you are going to barbecue and do not want to take home a lot of dirty dishes, they can be cooked in a bag - and this will be the best solution.

A regular kitchen bag is not always suitable for food contact. If the recipe includes harsh ingredients such as vinegar or garlic, it is best to cook lightly salted cucumbers in the baking sleeve. This material is not afraid of acids.
