Can these bags be used to cook small items "en papillote"? (They are much cheaper that the parchment bags made for that.)

Honestly, I think they would totally break down into a mess when they came in contact with any moisture.

Looked in Wikipedia under en papillote & it says you can use paper bags instead of parchment ones. It also suggests making the bags from aluminum foil. I don't know which would work better. My cooking is a bit more basic, so I don't know about the unbaging process, but I'd look for bags made of silicone that might work, as long as they can be reused & you use them a lot, they'd sooner or later pay for themselves. Either that or fold bags yourself from parchment sheets, which I assume would be less expensive than using the premade ones. For me, I'm considering the bags because they can be used to pop sorghum grains in the microwave. Looked in Wikipedia under en papillote & it says you can use paper bags instead of parchment ones.

I'm not sure - I've never cooked anything in a bag. My guess is that it would burn - it is an uncoated thin paper bag, but I really don't know. Sorry not to be of more help!!

You can use whatever size you want! Smaller bags smaller batches all cooks the same! I use the all the time at our school...love! Love! Love!

Haven't used them for mini loaves, but I imagine they would fit small loaves. (These bags aren't very wide, but something 4-5 inches across and 1-2 inches tall should fit.)

I think they would work well! I have only baked in them & my stuff didn't stick.

You probably could...but they are relatively thin. Not the typical heavy duty pan. I baked rolls in them, because I needed a few extra pans...so I used these and they came out beautiful. :)

Probably not. They are a perfect size for miniature candy bars. I put lip scrub & lip balm along with several miniature chocolates in it. If the muffins or cake is bigger than 3-4" in diameter they probably wouldn't fit well. The bags are long & narrow.

I don't have the real machine in order to use them that way, but I use them in a crock pot and I would be hesitant to try to use the bag again. It would be terribly hard to get the bag clean enough afterward in order to feel 'safe' enough to use it again.

The answer is yes for this and most vacuum bags. Using these bags requires that you have a Vacuum Chamber as they will not work with the Food Saver style where you place the open edge of the bag between a clamping system.I have used these bags for soups, stews, and several other things. I usually drop the bag into water and bring to a boil or proper temperature. On occasion I've used them in the microwave. Do some research from the manufacture and be sure to include instructions for your customers.

Yes, but parchment can not be re-used or hold up to the temps that a teflon sheet can. Hope this helps... Let us know if you need anymore assistance. Thank You.

Maybe in a pinch. The parchment will probably ripple and curl, would be my guess. It might spill lightweight herbs. These sheets are a bit thicker and reusable. They lie flat during the dehydrating process. I use them on my cookie sheets also to prevent burning. Pretty versatile.

Don't know why you can't as parchment paper is safe in ovens. The temp in the dehydrator is a lot lower. Would beLess cleanup.

Absolutely NOT. These bags are not suitable for food or perishables. They are not air tight.

Possibly, I'd be wary of applying a lot of heat but if you're careful it would probably be okay. They are very plain bags so a little personalization might be nice, and they're cheap enough that if you melt one it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I cannot say for sure because though I have some square bakeware, I have not tried them on those. But I would say if your bakeware/cookware is smaller in circumference I can't see why you would not get a good seal. I absolutely love this set. I use them in the microwave for cooking or reheating, keeping food warm when I prepare in the oven or on the stovetop. They have great suction.

I don't see why not, they are bakeware after all....but small. I have never used in a regular oven.

I have used the large size for Panettonne, and they work well for that. I wouldn't try to bake anything liquid in them; and, since they're paper, the "brulee" seems unwise.

A muffin would not fit. These bags would not expand enough. They would work well for two smallish cookies or one nice 3" cookie with a little depth. Martha Stewart sells individual muffin containers and so does Paula Dean at Michales Craft Stores. The Bag is essentially a cookie or small goodie bag. Good luck finding what you are looking for.
