And you don’t need to wash the dishes after cooking: just throw away the bag from under the cucumbers and forget about it. Conveniently!

Pickled cucumbers in a bag - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute dried dill for fresh. Use 1 teaspoon of dried dill for every tablespoon of fresh dill called for in the recipe.
They will stay fresh for about 3-5 days when stored in an airtight container in the fridge. For best texture, consume them within this time.
Absolutely! The sugar can be omitted or replaced with a sugar substitute like erythritol for a low-carb version, though the flavor profile may slightly change.
Small to medium-sized, firm cucumbers with thin skins, like Persian or Kirby cucumbers, work best as they absorb flavors well and stay crisp.
Certainly! Feel free to experiment with spices like mustard seeds, red pepper flakes, or fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for added flavor.
To quicken pickling, slice the cucumbers into spears or rounds before adding them to the bag, as this increases surface area for faster flavor absorption.
It's not recommended to reuse the brine, as it may lose flavor potency and could introduce bacteria from the previous batch.
Add a sliced jalapeño, a pinch of red pepper flakes, or a dash of hot sauce to the bag for extra heat.
