are these meals the cook in the bag meals or do they need to be cooked with pots and pans?

The food "cooks" right in the bag. The bag is very sturdy and meant to sit upright on a table. Open the top, take out the oxygen absorber and pour in the prescribed amount of hot water. The bag can then be reclosed like a zip lock bag. Gently shake the bag for a moment, let the food sit for a little bit, open the bag and enjoy.

The meals that I purchased need cookware. The meals are dehydrated an sealed in packages that would be too small to attempt adding the necessary amount of water.

Just add boiling water to the bag. I like to fold over the top and seal with an inexpensive wooden or plastic clothes pin. Hope this helps.

No you don't cook them first, just put them on the rack. You might want to put wet paper towel on them to wet them so they can stay on the rack better.

Yes some if I remember correctly; but very minor to the product and overall are not a problem to cook with into sauces and eat. I often heat, mix with brown rice pasta, a little pepper and tada... good dinner.

The cooking directions are located on the back of the bag. They take awhile to cook, I would say longer than what it states on directions.

After the hotdogs are cooked, I put them in the buns and then into individual bags. That keeps the buns warm and soft. They are always a big hit at our annual cookout.

Hi..I have never cooked the two together mainly because they take different times. I would use two different bags if I were to do it. Good luck

We can cook a whole meal such as breakfast in one pan. Mushrooms, onions, potatoes & eggs for 2 and not have to mess up the stove top!! Works for dinner as well.

I would contact All-Clad via internet or a dealer and ask them. I have the set shown here, but in truth, we have just cook soups and stews in it so far.

I have several orgreenic pans. The instruction I have received with the products were to season them with some oil and heat in the oven. I am not sure you have to do this but it has worked great for me. I use them every day and love them; especially the clean up.

yes, the pots are "thick" enough, but be wary of food sticking. I would not set them in the coals. remember to keep the food at a hard boil for 10 min. now the 5.5 l is a smaller pot and will keep food at temp for about 8h, nine or 10 and you will need to re heat your food to a boil. just did a 12 day camping trip on the great river road by way, had only one instance where we had to re-heat. i had no problem with food not being cooked. if you put food in the smaller pot, you do need to put boiling water in the bottom pot just for the thermal mass. the 2 pots nest into each other, so you only need 1 lid on the top smaller pot. the out most layer is just a huge thermos insulated very well, and not meant for cooking in.

Hi. Yes, you will need a pot when combining the ingredients and boiling the wort. I believe I used a 12 qt soup pot with this kit.

I haven't had any problems with sticking the bags in just boiled water. I bring the water to a boil, cut the heat and stick the bag(s) in the hot water to let the food thall and warm. Note: my bags only hold 1-4 servings. They aren't that big. I've only done this for my frozen veggies and small cuts of meat that have mostly thalled, i.e., for a stir fry. If you put in several bags of frozen food, you may have to heat the water back up for a few minutes but I am very cautious with this because I don't want melted plastic all over the pans I cook with.

Onion rings could be cooked only if they are already battered and pre cooked as in frozen packs for example.Uncooked battered food cannot be prepared in the appliance but seasoned fries can.

I have never cooked them that way. My husband is from Fla., and he taught me,( I'm from the Northwest), to bring about 2 cups of water to a slow simmer, stir in about 1/2 cup of grits SLOWLY. Let simmer until they begin to pop out of the pan. Place a lid over pan and cook untill thick. You can add salt if you wish. I then add shredded sharp cheese to it until it is as thick as you want it. Serve over fried eggs . Good eating!

They are single use--they are mostly for people on the go. You freeze your portions in the bags and then they go directly to the microwave. If you don't have time to cook/clean up every night they are wonderful. I also use them for my lunches because they are so quick and convenient.

I used cooked chicken, beef or eggs. If traveling I use the mix with Ceaser gourmet filets so I don't have to worry about refrigeration.

Well I suppose you could soak them a day before but I have not tried it. It is only 12 min to soak then you cook them so it is fairly fast.I add the water to soak while preparing the other parts of the meal. The time saver would be to cook then reheat the next day, which theyare great reheated as well.
