How to Use Poultry Shrink Bags
-
1. Heat the water: Heat a pot of water to 185°F or higher.
-
2. Insert the poultry: Place the bird into the bag neck-first.
-
3. Remove excess air: Press the bag gently to push out as much air as possible.
-
4. Secure the opening: Twist or spin the open end closed, then secure it with ring pliers and a ring or with a zip tie.
-
5. Cut an air-release slit: Make a small, 1-inch slit in the center of the bag just below the breast. This opening allows air to escape during shrinking.
-
6. Shrink the bag: Dunk the bagged poultry in the hot water for 2 to 3 seconds, then remove it. Do not dunk for longer than 3 seconds, as water may enter through the slit.
-
7. Cover the slit: Place a label over the air-release slit. For personal use without labels, strong waterproof tape can be used instead.

Know Before You Buy
These shrink bags are intended for birds weighing 3.5 to 6.5 pounds. You will need a pot of water that can be heated to at least 185°F, a way to secure the bag opening, and a label or strong waterproof tape to cover the air-release slit. Follow the recommended 2- to 3-second dunking time to help prevent water from entering the bag.
