I received a wonderful recipe for making omeletes in a ziplock bag then boiling them in water. Someone reminded me that plastic bags will leach chemicals into the food. Does anyone know of any plastic bags safe to cook in?

Its the plastic that releases the chemicals, so no plastic bag would work.
Reynolds makes a plastic baking bag for the oven like roasts, look at those.
My honest opinion is, we’re all going to die of something anyhow. It’s not like you’re going to cook in plastic baggies everyday, for crying out loud. I heated up some food today and *GASP* covered it with plastic wrap!! I am still alive and kicking too. Go figure. Make your omelettes and enjoy every bite of them. Also, enjoy the easy clean-up!
Unfortunately, practically nothing is “safe” anymore. I would be more worried about the cholesterol in the eggs that you are about to eat than in the bag you are going to cook them in. I would think that the trace amount of chemical that may or may not leach out isn’t going to hurt you. Besides, I am sure you dont plan on eating this recipe every day. I wouldnt lose any sleep over it.
I use large name-brand plastic bags to make those omelets. They have always worked fine for me, and I have seen no negative effects of using them for cooking.
The only problem I have encountered is that cheap or store-brand plastic bags fall apart when making the omelets.
It is plastic wrap, not plastic bags, that I have heard you should not microwave because of chemicals.
Plastic easy close bags are not designed for boil in bag usage. You can do it but they are most likely not FDA approved for that usage. Just for comparison, buy a boil in bag food. compare that plastic to a ziploc or glad press and seal. they will have different toughness and will respond to heast differently. The key is use plastics as they are specifically intended and you should be safe. Use plastics in unintended uses and all bets are off.
I got the very same recipe and had the very same concern. No one seemed to have an answer for me either. So I made it in a double layer ziploc freezer bad, I figure everything has chemicals and every thing causes cancer, so why not….good luck!
