Subject - Ziploc bag omelettes
QUESTION - I heard that Ziploc plastic bags can be used to make omelettes in the microwave. Is this a safe practice?
ANSWER - Cooking foods in Ziploc bags is not a recommended practice. Read the message below from SC Johnson's....
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.
Please share these facts with others who may have this misleading information. We also encourage people to go to www.ziploc.com for more information on the proper use of this product.
Thank you for giving us a chance to set the record straight.
