> ZIPLOC OMELET

> (This works great !!! Good for when all your family is together. The best part is that no one has to wait for their special omelet !!!)
>
> Have guests write their name on a quart-size Ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker.
>
> Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them.
>
> Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, green pepper, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc.
>
> Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shake. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it up.
>
> Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes [we did 15 minutes]. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water.
>
> Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed.

Thanks for this idea, heck I will even do this at home.

That sounds pretty cool! I'll have to try that out!

Thanks!

what a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing! I am going to try it out at home!

Read this the other day

thought it was on here


my psychic antennae must be wigglin

that is pretty cool. i gotta try that out.

We do that for scouting trips. It's super easy and the boys love putting their own stuff in it. Another good ingredient is bacon bits.

Kind of like a breakfast hobo pack.

I've done this also but when its all cooked up, I wrap it in a tortilla and eat it like a burrito

Do the eggs come out real fluffy?

SC Johnson suggests it may not be a good idea and that it is potentially toxic heating up plastic and then ingesting it.

Perhaps a little paranoid but just saying.

You don't eat the baggie.........

Duh focker

Got to hand it to Marcus, he knows his chit and backs ot up with facts. No plastic eggs for this hombre.

Lots of companies make bags that are safe for boiling/microwaving.

Not sure if ziploc came out with some yet but glad sells them in the store. Foodsaver bags are ok but who has a damn bag sealer in glamis.

While I agree that SC Johnson (makers of Ziploc) says don't do it, they're bound by liability to say that.

Been making eggs occasionally like this for years, and have NEVER heard or read of an instance of the bag melting, or someone getting sick.

My only recommendation is, don't use fresh mushrooms - they let out too much water when cooked, and your fluffy eggs will get runny.

And I like 3 eggs, in a gallon size bag, for 15 minutes. Just had one Sunday morning at home. Gallo salami, swiss cheese, bacon bits, and fresh broccoli. I'm still here....

When you cook food in plastic, the plastic heats up and releases carcinogens into your food, which causes cancer. The same goes for cooking over charcoal.

....same with using saran wrap in the microwave.

teflon coated pans will eff* you up too when the coating starts to deteriorate.

May not have the sealer in G but no reason you couldn't make these up the day before, seal them and use them out there

Everything is potenitally harmful for you...do they have any documentation of someone dying from occasionally doing these things? I mean shait...breathing air is harmful!

I'm gonna try it and feed it to my family cuz I'm a bad mom and wife!

hmm..interesting

I've heard all that stuff too but I figured less than 5 times a year can't be that bad. I would be more concerned if we did it weekly.

Smelling gas, talking on cell phones, standing too close to a microwave oven, etc. can supposedly cause cancer too.
It is all about moderation.

We use a seal a meal ...

just eat the ingredients raw

leave it to nosocks to find the bad in everthing and dirtywhite boy to sick up for him lol
