[Ansteorra] Boil In Bags not Necessarily Safe

[alpage1225 at sbcglobal.net]

The Seal-A-Meal and similar bags for vacuum seal systems are safe for boiling -- Gunthar and I use them all the time for feasts and camping.  Glad also makes a boil-in-bag for those without a vacuum seal option.  However, most other plastic bags for storing and freezing are not safe as they can melt or deteriorate during the boiling process, resulting in inedible food and a big mess to clean up.
