I heard someone recommend putting food in Zip Lock Freezer bags and pouring boiling water on top of the food and eating out of the Zip Lock Bag. I would think that boiling water could melt a Zip Lock bag or leach out chemicals... maybe I am wrong. Has anyone tried that or recommend it???
I would prefer not taking a bowl because of the extra space, weight, and cleaning involved. I like the idea of the Zip Lock bags but I am not sure if it is safe.
