These bags are easy to make from rice or corn. I tried making tiny bags reusing rice from one I'd bought, but they burned when I heated them. I don't know what the problem was -- maybe too much microwave time for the smaller size?

I'm going to try heating the rice/corn in a pan and pouring it into a zipper bag. That would be handy for car camping.
