    I made this for camping & it was a huge hit! You can make them ahead of time & label the ziploc with each persons name, that way everyone can have control over their own ingredients. They aren't runny or rubbery & the bag only melts if hit by a flame directly. Enjoy! - 9/12/07

    Instead of using freezer / storage bags, you can use the Seal A Meal or Foodsaver bags - seal a strip across the bottom of the roll to make a bag, add your eggs and fillings, then seal the top without suctioning to make a boil-safe bag. - 2/10/08

    This is my favorite way to cook eggs for a large group. We did it for a retreat last fall, and everyone loved it. If I'm only eating eggs this way once or twice a year, I'm not too worried about the rumored problems with cooking in plastic bags. - 9/15/07

    People use plastic bags to bake their turkeys in during Thanksgiving. Plastic bottles are used every day for baby formula. Here is a link to a site that answers some questions about concerns about cooking with plastics. http://www.jhsph.edu/publichea

    Put my ingredients in the bag, then the eggs, then mushed, then into a small frying pan (what I use when camping) and pushed it around....wondered "how the heck am I going to know when they're done?" and then - so KEWL! They just start peeling away from the bag! Buddies will be envious at camp! - 9/1/07

    Standard camping Stand-by. We used Egg Substitute, Veggies of choice, 2% shredded Cheese. Hubby adds sausage crumbles, or hambuger crumbled [left overs]. He also rolls it right out of the zip lock into a whole wheat pita pocket. Easy clean up when camping. The hot water doubles as dish water ltr. - 3/29/09

    There are carcinogenic chemicals released into your food when you heat a plastic bag either by microwave or boiling. This is NOT a safe way to cook. - 7/21/07

    This is pretty amazing. I was concerned about boiling in a ziplock bag, but it worked great! I sprayed the inside with a little Pam first, and it didn't stick at all. I substituted a wedge of Laughing Cow for the American cheese slice, spreading it on a low-cal tortilla before adding the omelet. - 10/24/11

    Well chemicals or not, this would be a fabulous way to cook eggs when camping. We are going camping this summer and I have 4 kids. I can throw each childs favorite fixings in the bag, throw it in the cooler and add the eggs the next morning. Voila! No cleaning pans! - 7/27/07

    It was so yummy & easy to make. The best part is you cook it in the water so you can do other things & not dirty a pan w/ egg & cheese or worry about flipping it. - 7/27/07

    These are great when you have a big crowd. Everyone writes their names on bags before making. Everyone gets breakfast at the same time. - 5/16/10

    I must warn heavily against using plastic bags this way (bpa's). Perhaps using a glass pint Ball [tm] jar partially submerged in the water might be a better alternative. - 3/29/09

    I didn't use the ingredients that went with this recipe but I did use the idea of the bag in boiling water. My husband thought I was crazy last night when I made them LOL. I was amazed that the eggs got done, it was very incredible how they are made. - 8/23/08

    The egg omlet tastes a lot different than to cook it in a skillet but over all it was alright. - 4/13/08

    I always use freezer bags - even the off brands work great. When I have people stay the night in my tiny apartment, I put out omelet ingredients, bags, and a sharpie and I get to do something other than cook all morning. Also, I wrap it up in a whole what tortilla for on-the-run mornings! - 3/19/08

    Glad bags broke at the seam on the end, will try ziplock next time. Eggs cooked up nicely, very easy to make, would be great to make with kids. - 1/21/08

    Really liked this. Both hubby and I like omelets, but I never make them (too much trouble). This is sooooo easy. Will be using eggbeaters next time, though. Was so impressed that am giving recipe to daughter and friend that requested it after my raves. - 10/29/07
