ZIPLOC OMELETS
Have you ever heard of this? (This works great! Good for when all your family is together and no one has to wait for their special omelet)
Have guests write their name on a quart-size ziploc freezer bag with permanent marker. Crack 2 eggs (large or extra-large) into the bag (not more than 2) shake to combine them. Put out a variety of ingredients such as: cheeses, ham, onion, chopped green pepper, olives, mushrooms, pepperoni, tomato, hash browns, salsa, etc. Each guest adds prepared ingredients of choice to their bag and shakes it. Make sure to get the air out of the bag and zip it ! up. Place the bags into rolling, boiling water for exactly 13 minutes. You can usually cook 6-8 omelets in a large pot. For more, make another pot of boiling water. Open the bags and the omelet will roll out easily. Be prepared for everyone to be amazed! Nice to serve with fresh fruit and coffee cake; everyone gets involved in the process and a great conversation piece.

I tried it with 2 eggs, a little whole milk, diced frozen green peppers & bacon bits. I thought it came out pretty good actually. I did it in a quart sized freezer bag.

I have made ziplock omelets a few times - always amazes me how good they
are. They roll right up like an omelet, just not browned but they are
done. I usually use fresh mushrooms, cheese, maybe a little onion and/or
green pepper and some parsley flakes for color. Very good and easy to clean
up.

RE:
Before trying, I'd do some checking on the plastic. Some plastic bags are not meant to hold hot food, the plastics can leach carcinogens into the hot food. Eve

Yes Eve, you are correct. My sister is a packaging engineer (determines what is safe for food packaging) and she is always yelling at me about that same thing. She is always telling me stuff like, "don't drink a bottled water after it has been in a hot car as it will have dioxin in it and it is a carcinogen. There are so many NO-Nos that I do according to her. She is a brat!! (younger sister).

Media and so-called experts are putting too many no-nos into our lives, as far as I am concerned.

Some plastics may melt from hot food, it is true. But I would be skeptical about those articles that try to scare people about supposedly harmful chemicals from plastics that are (supposedly) leaking into foods. We have too much food-related panic in the media.

Microwave safe plastics are food grade plastics (which do not leach plasticizers) that are known to be able to withstand higher than normal temperatures. Plastics that are not microwave safe may leach harmful
substances when heated in a microwave oven. (There was an internet e-mail scare/hoax that was passed around claiming the USDA or FDA and independent researchers showed that dioxin (a plasticizer) leached out of plastic wrap onto food being microwaved. This is untrue since all microwave safe plastics are dioxin free. Saran and Ziploc both maintain that their product lines are completely plasticizer free. The temperatures necessary to create dioxin (around 1500°F) are beyond the normal operating conditions of household and commercial microwave ovens.)

Eat these all the time. Use freezer bags, not storage bags, and don't let them touch the side of the pot and you will be fine.
