Can you put dehydrated food in the bag and then add boiling water?

If they are boilable to cook frozen foods, then they should withstand pouring water into them.

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.

I have never tried putting boiling water in the bag but I know people who put the bags into boiling water to cook food. I personally do not cook in any plastic for Heath reasons.

I would say that you may not want to do this. The do make bags especially for microwave steaming. You may want to contact the company directly for that questions. I am always Leary of chemical leaching on to food. I use these but do not microwave them. I rarely microwave to defrost or cook that is a personal preference.

Yes. With the strong, crimped seal that you get with the VacUpac Elite boiling in that bag is ok to do.

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.

These ice bags can be filled with both hot and cold water. Do not add boiling water, but water as hot as the tap will allow will work. Do not place your bags in the freezer or microwave as this will damage them.

Yes, it can. In fact, this nut milk bag can be used with very hot and boiling liquids, such as soups, broths and teas.

Yes, just tried it and it works just fine. I assume you are asking if you can rehydrate food while still in the bag. Carefull not to scald yourself.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

Yes! We have done that in our business as well! We have only simmer the bag in low boil but not rolling boil though. It works wonder.

I keep a tea kettle full of boiling water, to humidify the air and make tea! It might be fine for stews and soup type things... but you would want to be a better cook than I am to cook a whole meal.

I have used them for veges and home made soup, on Med heat. You need to partially thaw first to make sure there are no holes in the bag. Probably would work for Spaggeti sauce, but I wouldn't boil the water then put the bag and contents in if its a rapid boil. Have to experiment.

you could, but why bother? Just put the couscous in a bowl and add boiling water. Cover with a plate and then fluff with a fork

We ave not attempted that yet, but we have used beads,small pastas,dried beans,but never water. I thinks it would be fine,but have not done it thus far. When we do we will let you know how it went!

Havn't tried, but I don't think so. You pour boiling water into it, as in tea!

I have never put water in the bottom of the crockpot and haven't had any issues. Of course, there should always be some sort of liquid cooking with your food inside the bag.

I have placed them in boiling water before to heat contents. Just don't let the bag rest against the hot pan out of the water and onlyBoil long enough to to heat the contents

Please do NOT put boiling water into Mylar bags. Mylar bags are made of several layers, and the bottom one is usually a plastic such as LLDPE. While the material is rated for heat sealing, adding boiling water risks off-gassing something from that layer into your food. It would most likely not be harmful, but boil-in bags are boil-in bags for a reason...they are intended to be boiled, while your typical Mylar Bag is not.

You would only be complicating an easy process. Plus, you want to use boiling water for tea. By the time you put the boiling water in the reservoir and pump it through the tea bag, your tea will be lukewarm. Also, harmful chemicals can leech out of plastics, especially when you add boiling water. I can't remember if this product is BPA free, but that is not the only harmful chemical in plastics. Save your money.
