Is there a decent sealable bag you can decant tinned stuff into for boiling?

Look for 'pour n store' bags - work perfectly - empty the can in then freeze it - stops it from spilling for a while

The best stuff I take with me is stuff in these sorts of containers

Theres also these organic broths and soups they do in these types of bags nowadays. There perfectly safe to boil up and you can eat out the packet which saves you washing up. Alot cheaper than the crap Millets sells for £3-4 a pot.

Just make sure you make a few holes or you'll have a blast

its worth investing in a cheap vac seal machine, you can get external vac packers for about £20 and the bags work out 20p each if you buy 100 and then I just cook my chilli, stew, curry ect at home and then bag it up, vac seal it and freeze it, my freezer is full of meals like this cos if there is any left overs from normal dinners it gets vac packed, i pay a bit more for the bags that you can use for 'sous vide' its a form of catering that uses hot water baths to cook and reheat foods so they are tough enough for a good boil and no chemicals leach out.
then i just have a rummage and pull out my required grub and the fact its frozen means you can use it to keep other stuff chilled until it defrosts in your pack.
also if you pack it while its hot and give it a good seal there is a good chance that it will stay safe to eat, so long as its well reheated even if its been defrosted for a while.
cheapest grub i can find

I've been using Sainburys' 2 Minute Meals for a while now. They're actually microwave meals but the plastic seems perfect for boil in the bag too. If cooking for 2 it's worth knowing that two meals fit perfectly in an MSR kettle, and you can then use the hot water for quick-cook rice! Oh and they're cheap as chips, a fraction of the price of Wayfayrer or similar!

never looked at these in the shops before, and just wondering...

can you eat these cold like wayfarer etc? or must they be cooked?

cheers

Hmmm. I guess so, they are cooked after all, just cold and stodgy. I don't really want to try ... but I look forward to your report on this experiment!

There is a brand called Pour and Store which is very good and reuseable. About £1 for 8
