the bags are heat resistant?

I haven't had any problems with sticking the bags in just boiled water. I bring the water to a boil, cut the heat and stick the bag(s) in the hot water to let the food thall and warm. Note: my bags only hold 1-4 servings. They aren't that big. I've only done this for my frozen veggies and small cuts of meat that have mostly thalled, i.e., for a stir fry. If you put in several bags of frozen food, you may have to heat the water back up for a few minutes but I am very cautious with this because I don't want melted plastic all over the pans I cook with.

I use them for sous vide cooking, which happens at between 135 and 155 degrees for 6-48 hours. They often leak a little and I'm not sure if it's the seal or the plastic itself that is leaking. But the plastic bags themselves don't melt.

These are not self sealing. These bags require use of a bag sealer or tape.

They are definitely thicker than food saver bags and if you are processing and sealing a lot of bags the food saver vac channels will fail because of the heat strip being hot but these bags will always vacuum no matter what . Trust me way better product than food saver

Don't know. I tossed the bag a while ago (because I freeze them until used). Sorry.

Yes, I believe they are. The bags are very strong and they seal, however they are very, very large. Unless you are packing away thanksgiving leftovers, you might find them too big. I used them for other reasons, ( wet clothes in Antarctica ) and they were very durable.

I use the bags for other household applications. Nonetheless, they are pretty much resistant. I have already carried 3 to 4 large soda bottles and boxes. Differently from ones I have got from supermarkets, the the bottom did not tear and the handles were resistant enough for the load. I do recommend them.

The bags are made of a very sheer fine mesh (organza). I am not sure about boiling water.

No, the bag is like a zip lock. Open and reseal. I've read elsewhere that you can bake these in the oven and it restores them to new but I've never tried that.

Good question, they are water resistant. I have taken them in hurricane weather however and the items were only moist after trip. Good bags for the price but if you want waterproof try the Ortleib brand.

They are designed to keep you from being cut while wearing...I know of no claim about being heat resistant.

It is my understanding that they are not fully heat resistant. That is why I originally ordered them. If you are looking for hot pads, these are not them. Rather, they are mats to set things on with a small measure of heat reisistance.

they are water resistant. I have never gotin anything wet. They are the best bags I have had, easy on easy off and durable. HAPPY TRAILS!

I bought these as a gift but I do not think the handles are heat resistant.

On the outside of the box are instructions for safely using the bags in a microwave. Since I don't have a microwave, I have not tried them.

Yes, they are ideal fir freezing. I have used them for two years nearly and I freeze most of the food I bag.

I don't know, however they are air tight in what I believe to be a foil lined bag. So I would presume it is OK..you may want to check with the manufaturer.
