How to Make Eggs in a Bag
Whether you are camping or you are just looking for an easy way to make your eggs, use a boil-proof, sealable plastic bag that offers easy clean-up, quick cooking and the same taste as making them in a pan. Because you make the eggs in the bag, you do not need to use oil in a pan, which can be dangerous--especially if young children want to help you cook. Instead, let your children help you cook the eggs without worrying about them getting burned from hot oil. You also use fewer dishes. Does this Spark an idea?
