I mean, is it possible to just put the food in a bottle, and drop the bottle into boiling water with the cap on for 30 minutes or so? (That is, if you have the luxury of having a large pot to put the boiling water into) That way, the temperature would be lower emitting less toxic gases, allow you the option to walk away and not have stay with it to turn it, the contents would be under pressure thus raising the temperature inside a few degrees more, (pressure cooking it), and lastly, not burn or blacken the bottom of the plastic?

PCB’s can be deadly, short and long term. While I realize the name of the game is “survival,” has anyone checked out the cooked contents of a bottle to see what might be in them? Not that someone would be making a habit of bottle cooking, but who knows how much is too much?
