Can you boil these? I'm trying to lay off the microwave a bit.

We do not recommend boiling these bags, but you can heat cooked foods in a FoodSaver bag in a simmering pot. Only place bags with frozen food inside the simmering water. The coldness of the food will keep the bag from becoming too hot while the food is heating up. Temperatures above 170 degrees F can possibly compromise the integrity of the bags depending on how the bags were stored, handled, or used after purchase. This is why we recommend that you do not use temperatures over 170 degrees F.

I defrost them in the fridge but you could microwave or heat on the stove. :)

I haven't tried it but if it was something I needed to do regularly, I would risk one bowl to find out. I really think you could but can't promise. I guess I haven't put anything super hot in them, maybe cereal and hot soup. I definitely wouldn't put anything hotter than boiling water, 212 F, though.

No, they are not. They will cave in and overflow in microwave.. Can be warmed in hot water with lid open, or used at room temp.

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.

I have put them in my dishwasher, but have no need to put these in my microwave. I wouldn't try the microwave. Why would you need to put them in the microwave at all.

I have not tried to microwave them to date. You could prob do it for a few seconds as I often will microwave my butter container to melt it & that is plastic as well. Good luck!

yes but it may take a take a little longer. I have always cooked on low, so maybe high would boil faster. Really like it, and liked my old ones too.They just wore out.

I wouldn't, but you can put them in a pot of warm water to bring up the temperature.

Yes... I wash them in the dishwasher. Top rack, bottom rack, it does not matter they are fine.They do not melt in the microwave either. I have never tried boiling them.

I don't think that you should put these in boiling water. They might have chemicals in them or something.

I sure haven't tried that. I would suggest a mild bleach and water solution rather than boiling water. Good luck!

I would recommend microwaving them, but I personally put them in hot water and it works great.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

I would say no. They aren't supposed to be exposed to extreme temperature changes and it seems to me a microwave would heat them too quickly.

Yes you can! They work great in the freezer. Just defrost in hot water or fridge overnight. They cannot be microwaved.
