prm,
Yes, I try to seal the bags high and cut it high on the edge when reopening, this allows plenty of room for the water. This also allows you give it a little squeeze or two to move the water around while it is re-hydrating.

I made a couple of these

to place the bag in to help retain the heat, this is important as you may need to wait 15 or 20 minutes on some meals, when the temps are cold. These were made with a $7 sun shade from Walmart and some high quality duct tape from Home Depot. I had plenty of material remaining... (I still owe bwinters one that I said I would make for him). I eat the meal direct from the bag with a long handled spoon (or fork) from REI. using the same bag also minimizes clean up and waste (i.e. weight).

More questions? Ping away, happy to help.
