Does anyone make their own food and boil it in the bag?. I don't really eat processed food, I'd rather cook my own food, whack it in a bag, then boil it in a bag. I reckon a standard zip lock bag wouldn't stand up to the heat in my alpkit ti mug and Whitebox combo.
Sorry if this has been done before, I had a search but didn't turn up anything.

Re: Bags for boiling?
I re heated a defrosted meal for one in pour and store bags by the boil in the bag method. I had to heat two seperate bags as it would not all fit in my 600ml pot in one go. The food although defrosted was still on the very cold side when i started to heat it and it took quite a while to heat through so i ended up useing a lot of meths. Does work though.

Aye Pour and Store bags work well enough.

Re: Bags for boiling?
I haven't tried reheating a meal in a bag but i've used "Pour and Store" bags for adding water to porridge and cous cous etc.
Think I got mine from Tesco. I guess reheating a meal in them would work.
i like them because they can just be resealed and thrown away at home without any washing up.

On the winter bivvy I had pre-cooked bacon, sausage and black pudding in one. Reheated that lot boil in the bag style, then used the water for a brew and some rather tasty onion flavour instant mash
