Hi @Vivian,

There are definitely some alternatives out there for plastic bags like sillicone reusable bags, and glass if what your cooking works with that. Also check out this thread: [Cooking in plastic bags and health issues - #3 by phoneless](http://community.anovaculinary.com/t/cooking-in-plastic-bags-and-health-issues/825/3) there is a lot of info and advice on there.
