Does anyone know if you can boil in the bag with these or will dodgy chemicals leak out. Instructions say not suitable for conventional or microwave ovens. I'm guessing maybe I shouldn't.

You'll be fine Ray. Last weekend I had (cooked but cold) bacon, sausage and black pudding in a pour and store bag. Heated it all up in boiling water, which I then used to 'make' instant onion mash ... and I've suffered no ill effects

and I've suffered no ill effects

Are you sure Stu? :)

I have to ask as I can't actually remember how old I am, nevermind what year it is.

Not sure what you are cooking up Ray but instead of boiling in the bag you can heat food and tip into Pour and Store bag and stick it in a cosy made from http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/produ ... PageID=110 same stuff as from DIY stores I think for backing radiators etc.
I've made an 'envelope shaped' cosy to hold a pour and store; dehydrated food + hot water + time = easy meal with no washing up of brew kit.
I've been thinking of getting a dehydrator to make up my own homecooked dehydrated meals then taking them out in individual portions in P'n'S bags to use like this. I like the idea of home cooked stuff and making it as dry (or not in the case of fruit etc.) as I like.
HTH.

I'm reheating a pre cooked meal.

Stu, i'm more concerned about long term effects but for now I will give it a go, saves carrying an extra pan/lid.

Mountain house foods is in a resealable zip bag, if you could get your hand on some or browse there web site you might be able to get a idea of the plastic they are using and get something similar, or even buy one of there puddings and keep the bag after consumption!?
