can you do soup in a bag

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.

It actually pulls moisture from the bag as it seals. I prefer to use the freezer dishes that attach to the vacuum pack hose.

This particular appliance made one bag and stopped working. I had to return it. The only way to vacuum seal soup would be to freeze it first.

yes, just use the moist cycle, and watch that it doesn't get into the heat part.

If you could fit the full kettle into something like a plastic milk crate and make sure it's secure and won't tip over you might be Ok. The lid is a hinge so you would maybe want to cover the interior pot with plastic wrap then foil. This kettle won't re-heat the soup hot enough to combat any bacteria growth that occurs during transport due to unsafe temperature holding. So transport soup this way at your own risk.

The only, compartment that you could out in soup without spilling is the small container that has a twist lid. For me, it is too small, I don't think its meant for soups. onceI our soup in the largest compartment, which is intended for rice, and it spilled all over. So I think the answer to your question is NO. what I use for soup us the Thermos kiquid container. Its perfect for soup, won't spill and keeps your soup hot for several hours.

I'm not sure, but you probably could, you can make chowders and other soups in it and when I make beans in the oven, the go into a boil. Some one else may have a better answer based on experience.

In the microwave? I suppose so. I put leftover soup or spaghetti in a small one to reheat for lunch. Personally I prefer to make the soup on a stove top so the flavors have more time to blend, but if you were making something simple, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I gave it as a gift but it has a good seal according to my friend and they say it works great, I wouldn't take soup in it but anything else should be fine. and keeping it in the tote bag ( even the Japanese tie theirs up in a 'napkin' ) and upright doesn't hurt as well, at least that how the one I have works. PS use the band it comes with to secure it...

Yes, you can. I use microwave to heat water filled bag for 6 minutes at 1000 W. I didn't experience any problem.

I imagine you can. You would need to bring it up to pressure on a stove then move it to the bag. It would definitely increase the cooling and de-pressurizing time so I am not sure what that would do to what ever you are cooking.

Yes you can put a tea bag into the pot (either with or without the strainer). I use the teapot with both loose leaf tea and tea bags. You will get a great cup(s) of tea either way!

YES, you can, make sure you have a "vent" hole and be sure its on/in a micro safe plate or bowl. First time, I only made 1 little hole and my creamed spinach burst !! I tend to use the boiling water method for heating. I've used BOTH regular sized bags AND special made sized bags.....its NOT the size of the bag, but the 'type' of bag that makes this so great.

I think you know the answer to this... Think about putting the soup into a ziplocked bag, taking the air out. Even though you removed all the air, it still would need something more to preserve it. You would toss it in the freezer. This device pulls the air out of a jar, sort of like squishing all the air out of a bag. Then you have to do something like freezing.

Yes you can I've used about 400 with my food savor and have no trouble be sure to have vented side of bag turned up

We have never tried them in soup. My mom made "spaghetti" with the zucchini and it was delicious (for a veggie). I still prefer pasta! LOL.

Yes, you could use a bag, a smallish one. But it is so easy to dump and clean because of the curved bottom that I don't feel it is necessary. I'm trying to get away from using more bags than absolutely necessary, and I dump the contents into my compost bin nearly every day and then wash out the Oxo.

I would not put a soup in there but it is solid, I do not have an issue with leaks. The big dipper compartment is perfect for soups, but I add a rubberband to be certain.

I haven't tried soup in mine, but I would definitely allow it to cool off before pouring in. The container seems to be more appropriate for dry goods. I keep flour and sugar in mine. Tomato based soups would likely stain the container. I LOVE these containers.

I do not see any reason why you couldn't? If it were unplugged as being used like any other pot? The bag expands to a really good size...it has "insullation packs" sewn in...you tie the bag securely then put the little material round cloth over the opening...and let sit? I gave this as a gift but I believe it worked wonderfully.
