If you reheat steamed or sauteed veggies a lot of times they will get very soggy and they also loose all their nutrients. I buy a medley of veggies, cut them the size I want, wash them and place portions into microwavable bags. You can keep the bags in the crisper of your fridge for longer then a week. When I come home at night, I just heat them for 2 or 3 minutes in the Micro (in that bag) take them out, add seasoning and sometimes a little butter.

How do you know if a bag is microwavable? Is there one available commercially (as at the grocery store?)
There are some in grocery stores called "Steamers" that are made to microwave in. You can defrost in a sandwich bag but don't try to actually cook in one.
