Ziploc® bags are not designed or approved to withstand the extreme heat of boiling and therefore, using Ziploc® bags to make any recipe that requires the bag to be boiled is not recommended. Like all of SC Johnson's products, Ziploc® bags can be used with confidence when label directions are followed. All Ziploc® Containers and microwaveable Ziploc® Bags meet the safety requirements of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for temperatures associated with defrosting and reheating food in microwave ovens, as well as room, refrigerator, and freezer temperatures.

By pouring near boiling water (water begins to boil at 212 degrees) into the bag, or putting the bag into the water, the plastic could begin to melt. Might I add that eggs and cheese have fat which gets much hotter than water thus the likelihood of melting the plastic increases.

And if you're going to say something rude about my comment, wake up and educate yourself. Stop being so naive.

I also like to add breakfast time, omlettes made easy...put your pot of water on to boil filled half way, take a medium sized sandwich seal bag put your pre-packed ingredients in (ie: bacon, mushrooms, spinachs, s&p, cheddar etc). Pour in your egg whites or liquid eggs inside the bag (if you prefer fresh eggs they can be frozen ahead of time, they will burst but easier to take the shell off in two pieces), take your air out the bag and seal that puppy tight and begin to mix ingredients by hand. This is fun for kids cause they can toss the bag around or dance around while mixing & you can have them sharpie their name or design on the bag. Toss your bag into the water and wait for about 7 or 8 minutes till the eggs are done and wahhh lah! insta omlette, with no fuss with a skillet and you can eat right out the bag, reuse the water for tea or washing etc. :) What a great idea, I’m definately going to use this next trip.
