Abstract
High temperature bags for use in high temperature processes. Suitable high temperature processes include cooking food products, such as whole muscle meats, and sterilization of medical instruments. The high temperature bags may be comprised of multilayer films comprising materials that can withstand high temperatures and also have other beneficial properties such as, for example, the ability to be readily heat sealed, durability, no adhesion to food products, and good/improved moisture and gas barrier properties. These high temperature bags can preferably withstand temperatures greater than the boiling point of water, i.e., 212° F., more preferably greater than 300° F. and more even more preferably greater than 350° F. Furthermore, the high temperature bags may be used to freeze and ship products and may be placed directly into a high temperature environment, such as an oven or microwave, in order to cook or sterilize a product contained within the bag.
