Food bags

[Ayrshire Alps]

Apologies, this has been done, but all the links I found were out of date on other threads.

Anyone tried silicon pour and store bags? Needing them for breakfast oats and lunch couscous, so need to be able to take boiling water.

Thanks folks!

Sainsbury's, Lakeland and Home Bargains all sell pour and store type bags that can handle boiling water.

The ones in Poundland might be these..

The ones I currently have are poly Tesco Pour and Store. I've heard mixed reports about silicone ones re durability. Not too fussed about long term durability but I wouldn't want one bursting when I was relying on it. I use one of the Tesco ones for a trip (might take a spare) and chuck it at the end. I have a nice cozy I made but I think I'm going to drop taking that because it adds a few grams and I have other insulation with me, like a hat or buff.

I store porridge pre-mixed with berries, nuts, powdered milk etc. in one poly bag, just measure out a portion and use my pot for boiling the water, mixing, and eating - I only prep in the bag if I'm taking shop bought dried meals - just what I've got used to.

I like to just boil water in my pot. The thought of curry or chorizo flavoured tea stops me from actually cooking in it.

I use these

All foil apart from one clear plastic side. Seal tight and I have soaked pasta in mine with boiling water....
Cheap enough...

I've also made pot coy bags for them

They look good but I prefer a good gusset bottom.

Boiling water or cold.
I've carried many a litre to a summit camp in them and then hot soaked my food.

Ti pots are actually very easy to clean... My pot is also my cup and I'd hate chorizo tasting tea ...

On the other hand, the thought of eating food out of plastic or foil bag would turn me off food altogether ... better to fast

Best take the good family china then.

I have one of these. I can check volume and weight if you are interested.
