[…] In other breakfast blogger news: I’m really pleased with the influx of traffic we’ve had in the past month! First we got Stumbled Upon, then a week later were Grow-a-Brained, and then we got Slashfooded! Awesome! And the posts about Ziploc omelets seems to be a never ending source of interest! […]

I think this is a great idea for camping. Some people like cheese, some not. I prefer Egg Beaters Cheese and Chive. I’m thinking it’s a great way to customize everyone’s order without having to dirty several pans.

Plastic = petroleum. Petroleum = bad for you, the environment, kittens…

But, as long as you’re still drinking bottled water and microwaving stuff in plastic then, by all means, continue.

The bag doesn’t have to melt for it to leech its toxins into your food.

What’s wrong with a frying pan anyway?

i dont know if oprah did a show on it or not but omelett cooks do not have magic cook ware (we do not get pans from hogwarts). and if you cannot cook it at home in a non stick pan, best bet is a guy or girl working on sub standard stove eyes is gonna be able to do it for you, and could really fuck up the rest of there day

I have to say, if you go to a breakfast buffet, espesially in a busy place, “Do not ask for not Oil!!!” and egg whites, the thought on the cooks mind is either “bithch! or “asshole” if you cannot eat hole eggs donot eat at a buffet, you screw up the cook, and if there are 10 15 behind you? you piss them off too.

Our family loves doing these! The best bags to use are the freezer bags–a bit thicker and they definitely do not dissolve or even shrink up. Works perfectly!

Hi all,
I’ve had this “recipe” for some time now, and I have looked forward to trying it out.

Well, earlier tonight, I did it.

I used a ziploc bag, added 3 eggs and shook, added shredded cheese and little smokies cut up in slices and boiled.

I must’ve cooked it in boiling water for 15 minutes (I didn’t remember the 13 minute rule) and it cooked great!

I checked the bag thoroughly after emptying it onto a plate.
And in no way was it burned or melted, so, the warning from the Ziploc company…IDK…Maybe one should take to heart, what they warned, but, I didn’t see anything wrong with it.

It’s a great way to feed the family or friends in the morning.

I highly recommend this recipe!

Thanks so much!

We tried this recipe this past weekend…
It worked great, right up to the point (about 6 minutes into the cooking time) that the ziploc bags began to dissolve. By the time the 13 minutes were up there were only two (out of the eleven) bags left and they were shriveled and shrink-wrapped around the eggs. Sure, the cooked eggs looked great when we pulled them out of the water, but the mysterious disappearance of the bags we knew we had put INTO the water made us a little worried about eating the damp omelets.

We made these this weekend and they were awesome. I did some digging around and from what I can see, you would have to get the baggies up to 1500 degrees before there is even a remote chance of receiving any toxins from the bags. People get all excited over nothing!
