Wow -- thanks for taking the time to answer so comprehensively! I am intrigued by the fact that you can eat right out of the freezerbag (I agree with your thoughts about over-using the heated plastic approach) You have not had any problems with Freezerbag meltdown? (I did not know what I was doing, and when I could not get the freezerbag food to cook, I immersed it in a pot of hot water, the bottom of the bag broke and all the food spilled into the hot water, thus, making a horrid soupy-version of spaghetti & sauce)
