Stefan mentioned:
"I'm not sure if she is specifically talking about using the commercial

boil-in bags and vacuum sealers or not. I've been told that you can  
use regular plastic bags for this, although I'd not tried it."

To which Eule offers:
I have heard, from several sources, that you should not use regular
plastic bags and should only use those intended for boiling.  The
different plastics break down in different was and can be release nasty
chemical bits.

Here's the link to one article I found.
