Cooking in a Doggie Bag: What?!?

This morning, I was so busy surfing the YouTube and found this video clip. It is mind-blowing to see an old woman cooking a meal with the fire. It seems a legit one because it was shown through a video. Unless, it was edited using an app to make it genuine. It is a good way to use an initiative when camping with people close to our lives. Is this for real? Have you tried cooking using a plastic bag?

Yes, that is real. The water keeps the plastic from melting/catching fire. As long as there is still liquid in the bag, she'll be able to cook her meal with no problem. Of course, if the fire flares up and touches any of the bag above the waterline, then that part of the bag will melt.

You are right. I was checking that she did put some water in it. I assumed it will take time for the water to boil.

@Shavkat It's the same way people can cook in leather bags. Without the water, the leather would scorch and catch fire.

Fascinating, but I don't believe cooking food in a plastic bag is good for you. Who knows what chemicals are mixed with water and food while cooking as they are not intended for that?

@Shavkat Indeed, it is quite alarming how many chemicals are produced from plastics when they are heated, mixed with hot water, and used in food. I really have no idea what would happen if an ember contacted the plastic, which may instantly cause it to rupture.

I agree. At some point, I was fascinated how she did. I still prefer to use clay pots than doggie bags in cooking.

I was also surprised knowing it. I think I missed the science lesson about this principle.

You can buy oven bags in Australia which are plastic bags for cooking in.

I did not know this. Are they handy to use outdoor?

@Shavkat I think they are just for use in an oven.

It's possible as the water keeps the bag from burning

I agree. It is a simple science principle. I have not tried doing it though. Did you?

I wouldn't think it would work, but apparently it does!

It may not be real. If it\s real, the plastic is toxic. Even burning it can destroy the ozone layer. But strange things can happen in this ever-changing world.

I might not also going to do it. If I am in a survival situation, I might do it. But it is not likely to happen.

It is surely real and what DE explained is perfectly correct. Anyway cooking in plastic is not good at all.

This sounds like a creative way to cook

I agree. I think we can use it if we are in a survival state of condition.
