I have rehydrated my food in freezer bags but I wasn't sure if boiling water caused the bag to minutely melt releasing any kinds of toxins into my food.

Hmmm, you may be right. Take a look at the discussion about water bottles in the Trailspace Blog and the news article at http://www.trailspace.com/gear/guide/building-a-better-water-bottle.html
I think the plastic used in freezer bags is supposed to not have BPA in it and to be safer in other regards.

Fred's method is one many of us have used for dried beans, peas, lentils, etc. for years. I used to carry a screw-top bottle for this purpose, until I got lazy and went to freeze-dry (or in December on Kilimanjaro, where I let the required porters carry fresh food and cook for me).
