frequently asked questions

How much will one Cook-in-Bag™ hold?
 

 You can get a good idea of the size and capicity of our Cook-in-Bags™ using the chart below. Volume measurement leaves one inch of 'head space' to allow for sealing.

 

  Bag Size
Width x Height x Gusset (Bottom)		 Volume Weight
Small Bags 5" x 8" x 3" 2 Cups 8 grams
Medium Bags 6" x 9.37" x 3.25" 3.5 Cups 10 grams
Large Bags 6.69" x 11" x 3.5" 6 Cups 13 grams
Why can't I use a Ziploc Bag to rehydrate my meals that require boiling water?
 

We have contacted Ziploc to inquire about the safety of their plastic bags coming into contact with boiling water. The company responded via email with the following information: "Ziploc Bags are not designed and have not been tested for boiling. Both Ziploc® brand Freezer and Ziploc® brand Storage bags have a melting point of 65° C/149° F. The boiling point of water is 101°C/212°F. That said, I can't recommend boiling with any of our bags."

Are these bags reusable or one time use?
 

These Cook-in-Bags™ are certified for one time use only.

Can I use a vacuum sealer to seal up the cook in bags?
 

We have not attempted to use a vacuum sealer with the Cook-in-Bags. If you have done this and have an answer regarding it's performance, please let us know via [email protected].

Can these bags be heat sealed?
 

Yes, we recommend using a heat sealer on the Cook-in-Bags in addition to the zip closure. Although we have had no issues with the zip closure opening on its own, the heat seal ensures there are no accidental leaks. We recommend experimenting with the setting on your heat sealer to identify what heat level works best.

    These bags are great! I recommend them to anyone looking for a way to minimize cleanup and reduce weight. I prepare my meals ahead of time in them before my hiking trip. All I have to do is add water that has just finished boiling to the bag with meal. My cleanup amounts to cleaning my titanium spork I carry with me. The bag goes in my pack-out trash. Great product. I recommend them often when given the chance.

    I have used two sizes of these bags on extended backpacking trips. They are great for making my own freeze dried meals.I am able to create meals that are to my liking with my own selection of ingredients. My fellow hikers are envious when I tell them what I am eating that evening. The bags hold up well on long trips and when used, pack down small for packing out. The small size is perfect for individual meals and the medium has worked for two of us. They are easy to seal and the gusset on the bottom makes them sturdy when standing for heating.

    I've tried and used they bags, love them. Today I'm ordering 36 more because there are that great. It makes meal time so much easier. Just add boiling water to dehydrated food that I made, place in foil cozy and 45 minutes later I'm ready for dinner. All the clean-up is my spark. Bag gets rolled up and comes out with my trash. Perfect is all I can say!

    Why can't I use a Ziploc Bag to rehydrate my meals that require boiling water?
     

    We have contacted Ziploc to inquire about the safety of their plastic bags coming into contact with boiling water. The company responded via email with the following information: "Ziploc Bags are not designed and have not been tested for boiling. Both Ziploc® brand Freezer and Ziploc® brand Storage bags have a melting point of 65° C/149° F. The boiling point of water is 101°C/212°F. That said, I can't recommend boiling with any of our bags."

    Are these bags reusable or one time use?
     

    These Cook-in-Bags™ are certified for one time use only.

    Can I use a vacuum sealer to seal up the cook in bags?
     

    We have not attempted to use a vacuum sealer with the Cook-in-Bags. If you have done this and have an answer regarding it's performance, please let us know via [email protected].

    Can these bags be heat sealed?
     

    Yes, we recommend using a heat sealer on the Cook-in-Bags in addition to the zip closure. Although we have had no issues with the zip closure opening on its own, the heat seal ensures there are no accidental leaks. We recommend experimenting with the setting on your heat sealer to identify what heat level works best.

      These bags are great! I recommend them to anyone looking for a way to minimize cleanup and reduce weight. I prepare my meals ahead of time in them before my hiking trip. All I have to do is add water that has just finished boiling to the bag with meal. My cleanup amounts to cleaning my titanium spork I carry with me. The bag goes in my pack-out trash. Great product. I recommend them often when given the chance.

      I have used two sizes of these bags on extended backpacking trips. They are great for making my own freeze dried meals.I am able to create meals that are to my liking with my own selection of ingredients. My fellow hikers are envious when I tell them what I am eating that evening. The bags hold up well on long trips and when used, pack down small for packing out. The small size is perfect for individual meals and the medium has worked for two of us. They are easy to seal and the gusset on the bottom makes them sturdy when standing for heating.

      I've tried and used they bags, love them. Today I'm ordering 36 more because there are that great. It makes meal time so much easier. Just add boiling water to dehydrated food that I made, place in foil cozy and 45 minutes later I'm ready for dinner. All the clean-up is my spark. Bag gets rolled up and comes out with my trash. Perfect is all I can say!
