freezer bag cooking first timer

as a beginner to freezer bag cooking  (not hiking or hill walking!) i would like to  know say if i wanted to cook rice FBC do i just just put say a quarter of a cup of rice in a freezer bag then a cup of water just boiled put it in a cozy i made leave it for 15 minutes then hey presto its done or would the correct way be to add the rice to boiling water in a pot get it started then add it  to a freezer bag and put it in a cozy as i have tried the first method and it wasnt cooked at all

The key is you have to use instant rice (commercially made or rice that has been cooked and dehydrated at home). Regular raw rice will not work.

Enjoying our first FBC

We wanted to try out your recipes and were not disappointed.  It did take a few trips to various supermarkets to find all the ingredients but it was well worth it.  By the time I go to the bottom of this Chicken Rice meal, I found myself licking the spoon and looking for more!

Thanks again for putting this site together, we will visit often!
