I've just bought some more this afternoon from Tesco - Baco Cook-in Bags.

About £1.80 for 8. They are great for camping. You can cook several things in one pot - not fatty things though. They come with removable ties. We also use them at home to cook tomatoes without them going to mush in water.

i have the baco foil ones, but i have now found them in my local pound shop and they are exactly the same just different packaging.

have tryed both out and there is no difference

We cook tomatoes (we use them at home for this), vedge, baked beans, fish, and meat in a sauce. Basically, as the bags are water-tight, the contents heat up separate from the water, which means that foods don't mix and you can cook products that you wouldn't otherwise cook in a saucepan of boiling water. We don't have a mechanism for roasting when camping, so haven't tried using them for this...

Very useful!

Might try these, especially for poaching things in sauce.

A few years ago someone introduced me to cooking bags you can put on the BBQ and though I laughed at them at first, I'm now a total convert and use them for fish and veggies. There's just something about not having yet another pot to wash out, no?
