Of course they want you to use it only once and toss, so you can buy more. That's why rinsing 'em out and soaking them in hot sudsy water should work just fine. I do the same thing with my "disposable" pastry bags and use a baby bottle rack to dry them. It's amazing how many time you can use a disposible product before it falls apart.

Cross-contamination between, say, broccoli and carrots! Give me a break. Glad (or GLAD, as I'm sure they would prefer) just wants to sell more bags. As you noted, residual oil or butter might become rancid if not rinsed out, but one would smell that the next time and toss that particular bag. At 30 cents a pop and NOT recyclable, I think they ARE doubly wasterful as one-use wonders. Claire @ http://culinary-colorado.blogspot.com.
