As I recall some folks will boil their water in the pot, but instead of adding the food to the pot, will add the boiling water the the bag (Ziploc?), let it sit and eat straight from the bag.
This sounds like an attractive option to me, since you will not have to clean your pot.
What type of bags do folks use that are resistant to the boiling water? The ziploc wesite makes a point of saying their bags are not designed to withstand boiling temperatures.
And does anyone have a "bag cozy" of sorts that they use while letting the food rehydrate in the bag?
