My dad sent this to me. I havent tried them yet, but I hear they turn out really well. They'd be cool to make in the RV while everyone is getting the tailgate set up.

if you knew you were going to a breakfast where this was being done..... would anyone other than me be tempted to take something like rhubarb or fruitcake to throw in the bag just to see what everyone else would do? :hihi: edit: notice i said tempted. i don't think i would have the cajones to actually pull that off!
Perhaps lawsuit of a different kind. Came across this and thought it might be some food for thought. What is circulating around again is instructions on cooking omelets in Ziploc bags. This is not recommended until further research is done on cooking with plastics. There is still question about the cancer causing breakdown of plastics and their contact with food during cooking. "We have contacted the Ziploc company and they replied by telling us that ZIPLOC® brand Bags cannot be used to boil food. They also told us that they do not manufacture a "boilable" bag.... yet. "They do not recommend using any ZIPLOC® brand Bag in boiling water, or to "boil" in the microwave. ZIPLOC® brand Bags are made from polyethylene plastic with a softening point of approximately 195 degrees Fahrenheit. By pouring near boiling water (water begins to boil at 212 degrees) into the bag, or putting the bag into the water, the plastic could begin to melt. Might I add that eggs and cheese have fat which gets much hotter than water thus the likelihood of melting the plastic increases.
Ingredients: 2 boxes of "Hot Pockets" Remove Hot Pockets from box Remove from plastic wrapper, and shove inside cardboard contraption they come with Nuke for 4 minutes per pair. Eat. Edit: One time, I actually got 3 "Hot Pockets" in a box of 2. It was the greatest day of my life.
If you want to step up the difficulty level a bit, coat 'em with your favorite cajun seasoning prior to the "eat" step.
