Freezer bags work very well with hot water.

USE WITH CAUTION, if the "easy zipper" is what I think it is, the little sliding thing, it will not seal as tight as the type you press together and may allow contents to spill especially liquids.

Of course your cozy has to have a pleated bottom too.

Not really - as long as you keep the cozy upright it will be ok.
One of the cozies I make is for the "Steamer Bags" that have a pleated bottom.

I have done some searching and came across some High Temp pan liners. I feel much safer using this rather than a zip-lock. I bought some of the Pan Saver pan liners 2quart size. I have cooked some food in them while pan was on burner and worked well, also have used just in the coozy I have maid works good both ways. The temp rating on them is -100deg F to 400deg F one bag weighs 5.2 grams. No they do not zip closed but you can twist it closed I use a string and a push button to help close mine. http://www.pansaver.com/
