In fact I noticed wall mart sells a microwave safe cooking bag for vacume sealer. Perhaps this is a alternative? Im going to look into it.


Vac Seal bags are nylon with a PET (good ol' Polyethyline) lining. They stand up to boiling in the bag quite well - I sometimes crack eggs into one sized to the pot I'm taking, and boil the bag over my alcohol stove to cook the eggs. You can't let the bag touch the side above water, it melts of course.

PET is everywhere, and it's not going anywhere. All the GSI bowls, and a lot of the utensils and vessels you find for camping, are also PET.
