Yes that's what I do when I cook lots of extra food. Freeze it and boil it warm and eat.

The answer is yes for this and most vacuum bags. Using these bags requires that you have a Vacuum Chamber as they will not work with the Food Saver style where you place the open edge of the bag between a clamping system.I have used these bags for soups, stews, and several other things. I usually drop the bag into water and bring to a boil or proper temperature. On occasion I've used them in the microwave. Do some research from the manufacture and be sure to include instructions for your customers.

Yes! We have done that in our business as well! We have only simmer the bag in low boil but not rolling boil though. It works wonder.

I have done the same. also use it with food when camping and first aid gear in the boat.

you'll need a food Saver sealing machine, that seals and sucks the air out of the bags before freezing. I guess if you are windy enough you might be able to suck the air out.

The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

Cloth fabric and foam. Understand when you bring pot to boil with all your ingredients inside .. it is the pot your cooking with should be your concern not the insulted material enveloping the pot to stay the heat. Confused by your logic that the material touching the pot would intoxicate. Your pot should be sealed or in a container. So if you use non-PBA plastic as your container then you have that plastic element against the food. The Wonder bag is a wrapping that holds in the heat of the pot you've cooked in.

boiling water will most likely cause producing very toxic substances which (like the tea bags of this kind) are contributors to cancer and other health problems. So, I do not recommend using those bags in high temperatures. those bags will do great for lavender and little gifts but stay away from making a tea in them or washing in boiling water.

We have only used these for keeping things cold and they work great. We soak them in water and then freeze them. Not sure about heat but i would try putting them in boiling water but don't boil them.

Hi Jerry. I see no reason why not. In my case, I leave the main bag in the freezer, and take some out into a glass jar which I keep in the fridge. If I had room in my tiny freezer (i.e. if it wasn't so tiny), I'd put ALL the powder stock into one or more jars in the freezer. It's best stored in glass, to reduce oxidation (not that it will oxidise much in the freezer). I also prefer to not keep foods stored in plastics (they all leach chemicals, as you likely know).

Every bag has sealed,has big sealer tape.When I had a foodsaver and sealing something wet and juicy,i would place a paper towel inside the bag at the top before sealing.frozen paper towel hurt's nothing.Good Luck

It seems as though your numbers are lower than what I see. James comment about your altitude is important, but so is what you are trying to bag. If you are trying to bag some food that is hot (or even warm), it can reach "boiling" before you get to the level of vacuum you desire. Ideally any food being bagged should be cold to prevent this from happening.

I use these bags 5 or 6 times before recycling them. It's a little more difficult to seal the bag after the first use, but it will reseal. I've only steamed veggies and potatoes in them. I wash them in hot water and some dish soap after each use. I am going to try steaming some cod, salmon or albacore as well. I don't see why they can't be reused after steaming fish or seafood. Just rinse and wash out right after you take the food out of the bag.

By extracting all of the air from the bag you remove all of the moister from the bag as well. You never want to freeze air that's when you get freezer burnt food.

These ice bags can be filled with both hot and cold water. Do not add boiling water, but water as hot as the tap will allow will work. Do not place your bags in the freezer or microwave as this will damage them.

Just add boiling water to the bag. I like to fold over the top and seal with an inexpensive wooden or plastic clothes pin. Hope this helps.

I usually store my freezer meals in a freezer ziplock bag. I suppose you could try it but you would have to find a way to close it really well. Otherwise it will spill before it is frozen. It might freeze an awkward shape and not fit into the crock pot. Plus, the plastic is not very thick like a zip lock bag or freezer bag.

You need a vacuum sealing machine. They are really fantastic for any use. You can seal cooked food or fresh food, freeze the pouches or keep in refrigerator for a bit longer than otherwise. They even make a vacuum sealer with a hand unit as part of the kit. Check it out and do your research. The Sous Vide machine requires using these pouches for the water bath cooking.

I do not use bottle warmers. But I have puts frozen pouchs in boiling water and it holds up just fine.I'd imagine you'd be fine.
