Baggy omlettes

Tha is clever, thanks for posting. I can even use that in a post hurricane situation since eggs keep fine in a cooler.

 

I love the idea, but unfortunately, I've been told not to do it because the plastic can melt....or even if it appears intact, the chemicals from it can end up in your food. I don't know how much of it is true.

Here's a little more about it, though: http://camping.about.com/od/campingrecipes/a/ziplocbaggies.htm

 

I prefer boiled eggs, either soft or hard boiled.

It seems to me that this could be a little disgusting to eat for some people :?

 

I was thinking about the plastic seepage myself after thinking about the idea later. Perhaps there are bags that are food safe for boiling? Hmm, I'll have to keep that in mind.

 

I just saw an idea along the same lines using a paper bag. you line the bottom of the bag with bacon then crack the eggs on top. The grease from the bacon cooks the eggs and to eat you turn the top of the bag down to make a bowl so to speak. No need for a pan or a plate. I would like to try it, not sure how high above the flame and for how long it would take to cook, but seems like a great and green idea...you can even throw the bag in the fire when done.

 

This sounded really good as I was watching the video. My kids love omelettes and they would eat this right up. But then I started reading the other comments about the plastic bag contaminating the food. So now I am not sure I want to take that risk. I personally do not think the whole paper bag idea would work out so well. This is a shame because it seemed so good in the video. Are their any other solid alternatives that anyone has tried and would like to share?

 

I don't see any problem with this, but then again I don't really do the soft scramble or any kind of scramble. I'm more of an omlet or breakfest bowl kind of person.
