Yes, I can vouch that this really works and is good. It is a good way to prepare your eggs and chopped up veggies, meat and cheese the night before and throw it all in the bag. The next morning place in the micowave and viola - you have breakfast!

what a really interesting concept! and you say it actually works? i have to say it sounds like sort of a "fun" idea but for those who like to go camping and cook outdoors, wouldn't this be great for them? i'd much rather clean a sauce pan than a frying pan any day!

Storing bagged fruit in bags?
Q
Comments (12)
Leaving the fruit in the bag traps the ethylene produced by ripening fruit, which accelerates the ripening. If you want fruit to ripen quickly, put it in a paper bag to capture ethylene gas, but take fruit out of the bag when you put in the frig to slow down ripening. Keeping fruit in plastic bags will make it rot quicker because the trapped moisture encourages mold. The reason everyone started talking about canning so quickly, was they thought that they might have a chance to prevent you poisoning yourself and others with improperly canned fruit. Botulism has no taste or odor, but will kill you. Other organisms can make you wish we were dead for a few days of uncontrolled diarrhea and bowel cramps. Properly preserved fruits grown at home are great and often taste better than commercially grown fresh fruit, but you must do it properly. The reason fruit preservers are called fruit preservers is that before modern canning equipment and procedures were available, that was the safest and easiest way to preserve fresh fruits. Adding sugar to the fruit and boiling it to reduce off part of the water in the fruit was the best way to raise the boiling point of water above 212F/100C, which killed most microbes. This allowed people to have fruits during long winter months when sources of vitamin C were scarce.

Tom, "John, are you using the white bags? I'd be concerned about the dyes and chemicals in the other colors.... " Good point. Heres what they (Greenbag Inc) say... "Is made from non-toxic, non-corrosive materials and safe color-fast dyes". I'm interested in these for several reasons, drainage, cooling and cost. I know they drain well, I don't think you could ever fill one with a garden hose. The upside down tomato bag I tried last spring stayed cool and it was black. The ones from Publix are a buck and I hear W mart's are cheaper. So I'll give it a try. john

RECIPE: Need really good bagged lunch idea's
Q
Comments (6)
I use a lot of those "snack sized" baggies. Then I measure out a portion of almonds, peanuts, dried mangos, muesli, granola -- lots of little snacks -- you can put almost anything you like to eat into one of those little baggies. I love yogurt, and will mix the muesli or granola right into the yogurt. I take packages of flavored oatmeal along with a package of fruit -- for example, peach oatmeal with peaches packed in water -- and I make that up for lunch, with a sprinkling of toasted slivered almonds on top (for protein). I hard boil eggs, and take them along (make sure you don't hard boil fresh eggs; they are dreadful to peel. Wait until the eggs are at least 1 week past the "sell by" date, and then cook them. The shells will just fall off. Trust me. I used to raise chickens.) All of the pasta salads are wonderful, as mentioned. One I use is 2 pounds rottelle (? spelling - that spiral pasta) pasta, cooked al dente, mixed with a package of dry bacon Ranch dressing that has been made up with fat-free mayo. I usually add more mayo than the package says to add, as it keeps the pasta nice and moist, and you don't skimp on the flavor at all. To that I add whatever variety of shredded veggies I'm in the mood for that week, or is available at the market. It's simple and quick. You can add string cheese, low fat cheddar (or regular, if calories aren't an issue), those cartons of cottage cheese that are a single serving with fruit on the top that you mix in, or any other cheese you like. I make my own bread, so I'll often include a piece of that, and sometimes wrap the cheese up in the bread and eat it that way. If you like veggies out of a can, you can include those. I sometimes add small cans of peas or corn (my favorites). Don't forget fresh veggies, with or without hummus (yummy and so good for you and so filling as well!) Of course, you can always make your own soup or salad ahead of time. If you made up, for example, some chili on the weekend, you could eat it all week, or eat it a couple of times and freeze the rest in individual portions. Same with other soups. Salads don't take long to toss together, and will keep in the fridge as long as you don't add the tomatoes (which will end up mushy in a fridge), so you add those at the last minute, along with the dressing. Oh, yes, and every now and then, I really do eat a sandwich. It's just that I've had to pack a lunch for most of my career, and by now, sandwiches have really gotten old! Anyway, hope I've offered a few ideas you like. MacThayer

RECIPE: ziplock omelets
Q
Comments (3)
I've heard of that but haven't tried it myself. I'd imagine kids would get a kick out of it. I think I heard something about it not being safe to cook in ziplocks as far as chemicals leaching from the plastic but doubt it's harmful as an occasional thing.

It's good for overnights guests too. You can individualize each person's omelete. I cook my onions, peppers and meats the night before and put them in the bag with the cheese and eggs, then toss in the microwave the next morning.

Last nite, when bagging my eggwhites, I added some chopped onion, bacon bits, shredded cheese and a sprinkle of Taco seasoning.

Must say, it was quite tasty.

Oh my gosh Glenda, I didn't intend to say microwave! I boil mine in the bag! I'm glad yours, farmhouse and Cindy's turned out good. I like the taco seasoning idea. I tried a little Fox Point seasoning and it was good too.

Really interesting. I am going to let my nephews, who are into cooking, make their own omelet bag before they go to bed. I can see letting them be creative. Then let them cook in the AM.

They will think it's fun.

Because kitchen time for me is so difficult with the baby and my MIL under my feet or in my way, or both of them getting into things trying to "help" me, I really need all the REAL help I can get. So, convenience is the optiminal choice for me, as well as easy clean-ups.

At first I thought this might make more mess than it was worth, but I tried it this morning for my husband and my breakfast, and it WORKED! I used four eggs.. three whites and one yolk and it was great! I was surprised at how good it was! The clean-up was a snap and I love that!

My son wants to know why you didn't post this until AFTER he and his lady returned from a gruelling camping trip interstate. They rode their motorcycle from Brisbane to the bottom of Victoria (a lo-o-o-o-ng way - they took 4 days to get there!) taking with them only the most basic of basic essentials (2 people, a tent, sleeping bags, clothes, towels, cooking equipment etc - all on a motorbike!), and when they arrived they found that campsites were so close together, there was no room for campfires! (The things people will do to see their favourite sporting event live!Ah well, you're only young once.)They had a cigarette-packet-candle stove they could boil things on, so this omelette in a bag idea would have been very, very useful!

Never mind, they've stored the idea in their memory banks for the next camping trip!

I agree, this works very well, as demonstrated by 23 girls age 12 and under in Ashley's girl scout troop. I hadn't thought of it lately....

Tip: I found that spraying the inside of the bag, the omelet rolls out easier.
