After freezing can I boil the package in water so the contents are hot and ready to eat

We usually defrost in the microwave at a low - power 30 - temperature.I would think you could boil in water also.

Yes you can. I do it all the time with burgers packed with fresh veggies, then remove it from the bag and grill a few min. You do need to buy the good bags not the thin cheap ones.

Prepare the food same as Mountain House food, add hot water to packet or container with ingredients, stir and allow 10 minutes for food to reconstitute. Here's a video to help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B146NxPWoaQ#t=185

I mix mine with frozen brine shrimp and freeze the leftovers, then thaw it when I am ready to use it again. I think it's fine.

When I put mine in the freezer, I left it thaw before putting in the microwave

Theoretically you could, but I'd have concerns with heating up from frozen and glass cracking, just like any cooking situation. You'd be much better off freezing in bags, I use Lansinoh Breastmilk bags, put the frozen bag in the fridge the night before you plan on using it or 15 min. in warm (not hot) water, transfer to bottle and heat.

Yes. However, when freezing anything in the plates, make sure to wrap it securely and put in ziploc freezer bag to prevent freezer burn. Let it thaw a bit (or compleely in the fridge) before putting it in the microwave.

What works best for me is to cover the packages (cut to the size you want) with cold water. I let the packs soak for aboot 15 mins. and then knead the packs while in the water. This will remove all of the trapped air. Then let them soak for another 10 mins. Place the packs in the freezer until completely frozen.

I put the food in the bowls the night before. That way everything is cold before using the box. Ice pack would work too.

Yes. However you'll need to freeze the soup in another container beforehand. Once it's frozen, put the soup into the food save and kept frozen until consumption. The bags can be safely heated in simmering water, or you can remove the entire soup block to a saucier and heat it on the stove.A few people suggest lining your container with a precut food saver bag before freezing, so that you only need to pull the frozen soup and bag out of your hard container - rather than fighting with an ice block of soup.

No! The bowl goes in your home freezer for the prescribed amount of time, you place it in the base and you're ready to make your favorite frozen treat. No salt. No ice. No mess.

I am sure that you can put the bags in boiling water to heat food because I have done it. I would assume that the answer for you is yes, as when you add the water it will be 100 c or 212 F and getting cooler not hotter than the boiling water that I boiled my bags in. I put my bags in boiling water and left them to heat and no melt. So I say give it a shot. Check the bag box. The bags that I buy Foodsaver Brand are made to stay together in boiling water, I don't know about "bargain" brands.

Yes, it can be "frozen" which is more like chilled. The usage statement says to place it in the freezer for 2 hours.

Absolutely you can freeze the filled pouches. My friend would make big batches that we would split and freeze. When defrosting you have two options - number one - when traveling you can just let it slowly defrost or defrost in a hot water bath then use the spout to feed baby, option two - at home we would cut the top off of the pouch empty it into a bowl and defrost contents in the microwave. Love this product! (Consider using the spoon attachment when traveling - so convenient)

I put the inside packet tightly sealed inside a zip-close plastic bag; then in the tin it comes in [because I really like it]; then put the tin inside a 2nd zip-close bag; then put it in the freezer. I've kept it in virtually perfect condition for at least a year. Also have an unopened tin in the freezer for backup!

Yes, but I would not freeze for extended periods of time, as the plate may slightly warp. The main problem would be temperature changes. Thaw in fridge, then microwave. These are very hardy plates.

No neeed to refridgerate. Package has been sealed , and as long as the temp doesn't get like 90 degrees, you will be fine.
