You really shouldn't boil food in a plastic bag. The high head can lead to partial breakdown of the plastic, which will then mix with the food and be bad for your health.

I have made this and it was wonderful. I just wanted to let everyone know that I just recently read that Ziploc doesn’t recommend cooking in there bags until they come out with a Microwave bag or such. After reading that I did a little more digging and it said in several website that I could even be toxic.

Adam,

Yes, I've been reading out this and I think you may be right. I hope to have some new information up soon on the dangers of heating plastic. Thanks for your advice!

April & Amy,

I have heard from some campers who say the bag will not melt but experts are now recommending against heating plastics. We will have more on that soon.

I use microwave safe container and put that in boiling water. Takes longer to cook, but safer.
