My zombie survival plan is to make it to Emmy ASAP. We may die together but the food will be epic.
😂
Perhaps the top has to be open for heat to be released?
And maybe the type of the bags plastic matters?
Wrong type of plastic. When I was in Kyoto I had a whole sukiyaki meal cooked in a paper bag over an open flame. If your plastic melts lower than waters boiling point you;ll have trouble.
My husband does this with the kids at boy scout activities
Ohhhh so this is just like when people cook bacon and eggs in a paper bag!
Not all plastic are created equal. And you probably don't want to do it over a direct flame. Charcoal makes sense as they probably use it ashed when it's not burning exterior wise just hot. If you put something over your burner. Like a pan, or a metal sheet, or tile it would probably work better.
45 minute ramen egg!
Try it with a brown paper bag folded so that there are no pasted edges to leak. Let the bag get soggy, then cook the egg in that. The water that soaks through the paper bag keeps the paper from burning. This might work better than a plastic bag.
Short version: You're using the wrong heat source. It's too hot, too close, and too large. Use a more suitable heat source such as a small campfire, a Sterno, or a Kerosene Lantern converted to a stove (my Hurricane Prep choice)
TL:DR version:
Over the years, I've often boiled water in plastic or paper containers when camping. I've also seen refuges using the "boil/cook in a bag" technique. My best guess as to why you're having a problem is…too much heat!
Propane burns at about 3632°F. That's a wee bit more than a campfire's 1,112°F. The coals may produce heat upwards of 2000°F but only for a short distance. Wood/wood products normally ignite around 450°F. Just remember the book-burning book/movie "Fahrenheit 451"! Or just remember ovens, stoves, and recipes historically top out at 450 degrees.
BTW: Temperature is not as critical as total energy output ; roughly speaking, temp x surface area x time / distance. ex. 3 tea candles will heat a cup of water 3 times faster than 1 tea candle.
I was taught (back in the 60s) to use the hand method. I still see it used today. If you can hold your hand over the heat source 4-7 seconds, that the point you want to place bag at.
(great. now you've made me look it up). Weber Grills has this gem.

unnecessarily complicated sous vide egg lol. great video anyways!
I have been here since the very beginning at 1k subs she has come along way so proud of this lovely woman well-done 😁😁🥰🥰❤❤❤
Thanks for making me smile with the Lumberjack Song theme music.
Waste off Time!
Do not burn yourself when doing something like this that you have never done before. Love u emmy ur so interesting
Try it because it’s fun? Ummmmmm. I don’t know about that one 🤣
While the service seems useful and fun, unfortunately Hello Fresh are a union-busting, anti-worker organizing company. I really wish you would cut ties with them as a sponsor. Solidarity with workers!
She still has that Lesbian soccer mom haircut! She literally has the worst hairstyle on the internet
That's because it was fake..
"If you were to try this…"
No Emmy, no one is going to try this.
Cooking anything in plastic is a bad idea.
Hello Fresh is super anti-union. Not a good choice for a sponsor.
Radiant heat, or candlelit heat rather than full on burner makes sense for this procedure
Yay lab coat
You did it faster than I could fold laundry (well… the edited video version)
In Japan they have hotpots made of paper!
Emmy, you’re my favorite.
I didn't know that about spinning cooked eggs! Going to try it!
Cook fried egg using a kraft paper bag and oil! During my boy scout days, the instructor taught us how to cook eggs using kraft paper bag and oil. Just pour some oil inside the bag. Make sure the 1/4 of the bag is well oiled. Crack an egg or two. Then hang the bag over burning coals or the remains of a campfire.
Like an onsen egg!
love the vid, hate the python sound alike. good people worked on that song, they deserve to get paid.
Emmy's chickens better start laying more 🥚!
This takes me back to the 60s when we used boil things over naked flames in paper bags!
Love love this video. Water heat capacity is something we think about a lot in environmental science. Thank you for bringing this to light in an approachable way
