Baggie Omelets

[ice fishin nut]

Heres one that actually works, got the recipe last night and had to try it!!!! The wife thought I was "NUTS":rolleyes: It should be great out on the ice, deer hunting, or for feeding a bunch of hungover guys after being out all night "Smelt Drinking":D

3-4 eggs
ham
bacon
mushrooms
onions
salt
pepper
whatever you like in an omelet

Crack eggs into a ziploc FREEZER bag (MUST be freezer bag or it will melt). Add ham, bacon, mushrooms, onions, etc. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Knead the bag with your hands to break yolks and mix ingredients. Drop the bag into a pot of boiling water for a few minutes (took about 5 minutes) until cooked. When you open the bag and place the eggs onto your plate you will be shocked at the omlet that comes out.

Try it,,,,, You'll like it!!!!!:D

We've done this too. I thought they tasted like the bags smell. A good many of the boys pitched theirs. I received this in email some time later. I wonder.

I'm sure that you've heard at least some of this, but it's good
to hear again.
Carcinogens cause cancer. Especially breast cancer.
Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water
as this also releases dioxins in the plastic.

Dr. Edward Fujimoto from Castle Hospital was on a TV
program explaining this health hazard.
He is the manager of the Wellness Program at the hospital.
He was talking about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave
using
plastic containers. This applies to foods that contain fat. He
said that
the combination of fat, high heat and plastics releases dioxins
into the
food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Dioxins are carcinogens and highly toxic to the cells of our
bodies.
Instead, he recommends using glass, Corning Ware, or ceramic
containers
for heating food. You get the same results without the dioxins.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc.,
should be
removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper
isn't bad
but you don't know what is in the paper. Just safer to use
tempered
glass, Corning Ware, etc.,
He said we might remember when some of the fast food restaurants
moved
away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one
of the reasons.
To add to this: saran wrap placed over foods as they are nuked,
with the
high heat, actually drips poisonous toxins into the food, use
paper towels.

If you check with the manufacture of these bags you will find out that they do not recommend heating/cooking anything in them. This is great method of cooking without the mess of dishes, just be sure you use bags that are intended to be boiled in.

I do a lot of different items in this fashion...slight variation to your idea.

*Cook item whatever it might be from soup to omlette.
*Place in a no stick container or on a cookie sheet depending on its form.
*Place directly into deep freeze after it cools to room temp or so...
remove item after a couple hour & check to see how well it has froze.
*If frozen- cut appropriate size bag for vacuum sealer and proceed with sealing process.
*Throw package back in the freezer until you are ready to use it
*Boil bag and contents at deer camp or ice fishing for a quick meal!



Not rocket science but safe easy and covenient.

For what its worth....

I make a different soup everyday and I sometimes make a double batch and use half that day with the other half getting frozen in gallon sized freezer bags for later use. When I do use the frozen soup, I place the whole bag in a stock pot full of water that is close to boiling. I'll leave it there until it is thawed enough to transfer to a pot to bring it up to proper temp before I put it in a container on my steam table.

I also defrost foods wrapped in plastic in a microwave all the time. So far none of my customers have died. lol

I have noticed that products that are intended to be cooked in plastic come in bags that feel almost like wax paper. Five minute rice is one example. I think its a type of plastic better suited for higher temps rather than any migrating toxins.
