I was on "Glad's" web-site and sent them an e-mail about cooking in their bags. They said that in no way was it safe to cook in their bags. They also said that they did not make a bag that was safe to cook in.(Freezer Bags included) Thought all you guys and girls might want that little tid-bit of information of what "not" take on the trail with you. I don't know about all of you, but the back country is the last place that I want to end up sick, so with that being said, I think that I will continue to play it safe..I also contacted Mountain House and asked was it safe to re-use their bags (because we had been doing it for a while) and they said as long as they were cleaned with boiling water that it was safe to re-use their bags over and over again. I have a couple that I have been using for a while, but the time is coming when even those durable little bags will need replacing, but I don't mind 'cause that's about all we use unless we dehydrate our own food and that's where the re-usable Mountain House bags come in. They are very light and weight wise you really don't even know that you have them. We dehydrate a lot of our own food to keep the expenses down because Mountain House is fairly expensive. Hope this helps every one...sabre11004...
