Hi all, anybody have other sources/options for mylar bags for dehydrated meals? My normal go to for 8x12 inch bags was
and they no longer sell them with ziplock seals.....you have to buy their "sealer" for $175 to heat seal the bag....

Whats wrong with freezer bags? They can take hot water. All of the meals that I dehydrate or repackage at home have been double bagged in freezer bags. I bought a vacuum sealer a couple of years ago now, so today they are vacuum sealed. Either way, I'm no fan of freezer bag cooking. That gets old fast. For me everything goes into a pot for final cooking and recombination. Then eaten out of the pot or put on a plate if it's a group meal.

I'm with Martin - I use ziploc bags and rehydrate contents in my pot/bowl. I often don't use the freezer version and just use the thinner sandwich bag or quart sized bags as the contents do not stay in the freezer more than a month before a trip. I typically make my packaging choices based upon reduction in weight and waste so an 8" X 12" would be larger than needed for most of my dehydrated dishes.
