We made these on many cub scout campouts with my son and while the thought of the chemicals always kind of skeeved me out, the omelets were always a big hit with the kids.

I saw it on the cooking channel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sous-vide ), but I think they use some sort of SPECIAL expensive plastic. Anyway, it all seemed too hoity toity and time consuming to me.

Surely (Shirley?), the toxic chemicals from briefly boiling a ziploc can't be worse than 3 cans of Cream-of-Something soup plus a cup of mayo/margarine/Jell-o. What about those boil-in-bags if you really are too scrupulous for boiling Ziplocs. Additionally, my DolllarTree zip bags have NO warnings on the box about heating them, so bombs away, I say!!!

I'm thinking this recipe was probably written before there were warnings about the bpa's in plastic. <br /><br />When my husband couldn't make it home for dinner, sometimes I would make up a plate and wrap it in Clingwrap. He said something to me about not doing that anymore, and I told him "Well ya know, if you'd make it home for dinner, we wouldn't have that problem, would we?'
