Boilable Bags

Boilable Bags™

Boilable, microwaveable and freezeable! These bags are made specifically for cooking food by filling them with the contents of your choice and submerging in boiling water - which makes them safe for use with the famous 'ziploc omelet'! This is the perfect way to enjoy egg dishes without dirtying your frying pan! Our boilable bags are large enough to fill with the contents of your choice and still have space to easily secure the top.

frequently asked questions

Can you tell me the material that it's made from and the heat point that it's rated for?
 
Our Boilable Bags are made from a clear 4mil Nylon/Poly COEX vacuum barrier film. They are rated for temperatures up to 212 degrees F for 30 minutes.
Can I use a Boilable Bag to prepare eggs in my JetBoil?
 
Yes. We have used the boilable bags with JetBoil's classic "personal cooking system" model and they work great. Eggs cook to desired doneness just fine in about 8 minutes with one "scramble;" and although the pot is smaller than a standard cookpot, the boilable bag and its contents fit well enough to do the trick. We suggest that you cinch the bag to start; after about 3 minutes open the bag and give the eggs mixture a "scramble" with a spoon; re-cinch the bag and continue until the eggs are done. We use a silicone lid on ours to hold in the heat.
How should I close my Boilable Bag?
 
Because the Boilable Bags are so tall it is possible to simply lay the bag over the side of the cookpot and secure in place with the lid. This negates the need for a fastener and allows for easy access when checking to see if your egg or other contents have thoroughly cooked through.

If you would like to use a fastener, we recommend a twist tie. There is often plenty of unused bag making it easy to use many different types of fasteners with success, however, the fastener should be heat tolerant if it will be near your heat source for some time.

    This isn’t a review, but I couldn’t find any other place where I could ask a question. Could you use a vacuum sealer on these bags to both, remove the air (as one of the other reviewers advised) and prevent leakage?

    These work just as advertised! I used them on a group overnight backpacking trip to Fall Creek Falls, and made 3 "hiker omelets" the next morning- they were awesome! The only thing I don't like is that the bag has no good way of being sealed (think liquid eggs inside your pack). I folded the tops over multiple times and taped them. Not ideal, but it worked.

    I used these for an extended camping trip, and found them wonderful. I would highly recommend them, and have a few use tips: *These can be sealed with a computer cable tie; a twist tie has a tendency to expand from the heat and slip off. *Don't overfill them. You want the contents to be thin enough for the heat to penetrate. *Let your pre-cooked food cool fully before loading the bags. Steam is your enemy! *Squeeze all the air out of the bags before you seal them. Air inside is an insulator and will prevent even warming. *Finally, don't freeze your first couple days' food. These work better if they're merely cold when you boil them. Again, these are wonderful products and I would recommend them to hikers, campers, and burners.

    These bags are a MUST for those who want minimal cleanup after camping dinners. For example, I premake meat sauce for spaghetti, freeze in these bags, and then when I'm at camp, I simply boil a big pot of water to (a) boil the pasta and simultaneously (b) reheat the sauce. Two minor issues - (1) the bags don't seal so close them with the twist ties provided and then store them in your cooler in a ziploc freezer bag and (2) when you're boiling the bags, they float all over the place in the pot of water and could take on water so bring a couple wooden clothespins and just clip the top of the bag to the edge of the pot to keep it in one place. I highly recommend these bags since I hate cleanup and I refuse to boil food in store zipper bags because they leach chemicals.

    How should I close my Boilable Bag?
     
    Because the Boilable Bags are so tall it is possible to simply lay the bag over the side of the cookpot and secure in place with the lid. This negates the need for a fastener and allows for easy access when checking to see if your egg or other contents have thoroughly cooked through.

    If you would like to use a fastener, we recommend a twist tie. There is often plenty of unused bag making it easy to use many different types of fasteners with success, however, the fastener should be heat tolerant if it will be near your heat source for some time.

      This isn’t a review, but I couldn’t find any other place where I could ask a question. Could you use a vacuum sealer on these bags to both, remove the air (as one of the other reviewers advised) and prevent leakage?

      These work just as advertised! I used them on a group overnight backpacking trip to Fall Creek Falls, and made 3 "hiker omelets" the next morning- they were awesome! The only thing I don't like is that the bag has no good way of being sealed (think liquid eggs inside your pack). I folded the tops over multiple times and taped them. Not ideal, but it worked.

      I used these for an extended camping trip, and found them wonderful. I would highly recommend them, and have a few use tips: *These can be sealed with a computer cable tie; a twist tie has a tendency to expand from the heat and slip off. *Don't overfill them. You want the contents to be thin enough for the heat to penetrate. *Let your pre-cooked food cool fully before loading the bags. Steam is your enemy! *Squeeze all the air out of the bags before you seal them. Air inside is an insulator and will prevent even warming. *Finally, don't freeze your first couple days' food. These work better if they're merely cold when you boil them. Again, these are wonderful products and I would recommend them to hikers, campers, and burners.

      These bags are a MUST for those who want minimal cleanup after camping dinners. For example, I premake meat sauce for spaghetti, freeze in these bags, and then when I'm at camp, I simply boil a big pot of water to (a) boil the pasta and simultaneously (b) reheat the sauce. Two minor issues - (1) the bags don't seal so close them with the twist ties provided and then store them in your cooler in a ziploc freezer bag and (2) when you're boiling the bags, they float all over the place in the pot of water and could take on water so bring a couple wooden clothespins and just clip the top of the bag to the edge of the pot to keep it in one place. I highly recommend these bags since I hate cleanup and I refuse to boil food in store zipper bags because they leach chemicals.
