Stasher Premium Reusable Silicone Food Storage Bag, Sandwich, Aqua, 28 oz

UPDATE: I’ve added more Stashers over time, especially the mega, and our usage of plastic bags has dropped to almost zero. I buy my Ziplocs in quantity from Sam’s Club - 4 large bags of gallon- and quart-size per case - and typically bought a case 2-3 times a year (depending on size). I opened a box of gallon-size bags 3 months ago and still have plenty. In fact, our largest use was when we went on a trip last month since I use them for protecting just about everything in our suitcases and always tuck a bunch in the front pocket of my bag for snacks and things at our destination. Typically, I would already be on another box of Ziplocs. Quart-size was a big usage for us because we’ve always got multiple types of cheese in the refrigerator - all in Ziplocs. Now, they’re all in Stashers and we hardly use the quart size Ziplocs at all. Given our current rate of usage, I don’t anticipate needing to even think about buying more Ziplocs for at least a year. So, the Stashers, especially the ones for cheese and smaller items, are already paying for themselves. The Mega’s will take a bit longer, but, given that we can even thaw frozen meat in them rather than in Ziplocs (we’re always thawing steaks and chicken breast that afternoon for dinner because we’re pretty serendipitous about dinners), those Stashers I bought earlier have already paid for themselves. I do like these a lot. PREVIOUS REVIEW: My son runs a food business and focuses on zero waste to the greatest degree possible. He brought home some of the ones that he’d bought to sample and particularly liked the Stasher ones as he’s trying to help us get down as close to zero waste as we can. I got rid of plastic storage containers almost 10 years ago by switching to glass bowls with lids. They’re heavy, but great for storing all sorts of things, go into the dishwasher, and don’t absorb odors or dyes. But, we were still using Ziplocs for things like cheese, smaller leftovers, or things like hamburger patties and veggies that we kept in the freezer. So, the goal became not doing that. I’ll say right off that these are not cheap; in fact, they’re pretty expensive. So, I’m slowly building my stock of shapes and sizes one or two at a time. I’m up to a little more than a half dozen now and I’m starting to see a definite drop in our Ziploc bag usage. Each size and shape has its ideal usage be that cheese, cookies, frozen veggies, frozen hamburger patties (and other meats whose shape doesn’t lend itself well to wrapping in freezer paper), leftover pasta, you name it. I love that I can easily wash them in the dishwasher - just turn them inside out, plop over a divider post, and put them through with other dishes. I’m still figuring out a storage spot, but I can put smaller ones inside larger ones which helps. All in all, I’m really like these. I still need to find a size that will easily fit breads as the mega is not quite big enough (can take a half loaf just fine). Bottom line, it’s a big investment at the start, much like my glass storage ware was, but I’ll still be using these years from now, so they’ll pay off in Ziplocs not purchased as well as in their contribution toward zero waste in our house.

Just as described. Great size, and the color is really nice. Holds a lot. Easy to clean. Not flimsy like some others I've seen. Seals well.

I love these Stashers. They are water-tight, which is just what you need for a cooler with ice - you don't want your food soggy and they fit nicely too. The one I received had some warehouse dirt on the outside, but it washed up perfectly, it wasn't used as I had originally thought.

Perfect. I keep my cabbage to prolong its life in the fridge.

Very sturdy, shaped like a top-opening pocketbook! Not quite as big as I’d like, but the biggest non-plastic greens container I’ve found. I’m finding it’s working very well for my washed-and-dried lettuce and I’m happy to have it!

Nice quality. My job involves travel and in a pinch I find that it’s a nice substitute for an ice bag and even a hot water bottle if needed. It’s always in my travel bag for these possibilities in addition to food storage.

I’m not being paid to write this review, nor did I receive a free product as an incentive to give positive feedback. I’m just a devoted fan of the Stasher brand silicone reusable bags, and thought I’d encourage you to invest in an assortment of these handy bags to reduce your use of plastic. I continue to find multiple uses for these (mainly as food storage) and have used the fun colorful versions - like this multicolor sandwich size option - as the packaging for gifts. I admit that you’ll pay more for Stashers as compared to other inferior-quality competitors, but its construction (e.g. awesome seal to name just one feature) and durability (withstands multiple washes without cracking or degrading, beautifully handles the freezer, etc.) will quickly prove itself as a wise “investment.” And Mother Earth will also thank you!

I use a lot of ziplock bags every day…well I used to anyways. The other day my friend told me about these reusable silicone bags that you can get at the store so I got some. They were kind of expensive but I figured I can just get a refund if I don’t like them. I’m trying to convert more of my disposable kitchen items to be more eco-friendly. So between these bags, swedish dishcloths, and silicone baking mats, I think I’m off to a good start! The one I got is in aqua, it says on the packaging that its 15-ounce. I tried it out immediately once I got home. My first impression was that the material was very thick and rubbery…in a good way. I was a bit skeptical about how it closes since it seemed kind of flimsy but to my surprise it actually closes very securely. Its funny actually after I closed it I struggled to get it back open again. So yeah, the seal will definitely seal your food. The next day I used it to bring my sandwich to work (I usually use a regular baggie). Of course I gave it a good wash beforehand. One thing thats great about the silicone is it keeps the shape of your food…in other words my sandwich didn’t squashed like it sometimes does in my work bag. There wasn’t any noticeable smell or anything either coming from the silicone…my sandwich tasted exactly the same as before so that’s a good thing. I know sometimes if the material is bad it can leave an odor in your food which I think is really gross. Whats even more impressive is that the silicone is microwavable. This actually makes eating lunch super convenient at work…I can just put the whole thing in the microwave for 15 seconds and I’ll get a warm meal. Whereas when I used regular baggies I would never get the luxury of eating a warm sandwich. Ive already had a coworker as me about them. I guess it attracts attention when you put something like that in the microwave. Ive never used it on the stove top though it says you can. The idea of putting it over open flame kind of makes me nervous so I think i’ll hold back on that for now. Like others have said they wash up great in the dishwasher too. I don’t use my dishwasher too often though so I just clean them by hand. Just use soap and water…the regular stuff, and leave it to air dry. I always dump the excess water out first otherwise i’ll take that much longer. The bottomline is that they’re great reusable bags. The silicone is high quality and doesn’t have any smell. They’re microwavable and easy to wash as well. My only complaint is that yeah they’re a little hard to open and close. I guess thats a good thing since it means that the seal works well? Or maybe I’m just lacking power in my fingers who knows…Anyways I don’t regret buying this product though it was kind of pricey. Less stuff to the landfill is always a good thing imo.

Appena arrivato, l'ho testato mettendoci dentro un po' di acqua e capovolgendolo mi sono accorta della perdita perché c'è un buchino all'esterno. Sono delusa perché con quello che costa non è accettabile. Lo rendo.

Muy buen tamaño

je l'utilise pour les pic-nics, pour stoker des aliments au quotidien, comme glaçon dans une glacière, même comment trousse de toilette en voyage. Le volume est bien pour beaucoup d'utilisations. C'est solide et facile à nettoyer. le système de fermeture reste bien étanche.

Excellent quality and durability. I use these for everything, frozen meat, snacks, leftovers, lunch meat and cheese. Easy to wash in top rack of dishwasher. Not inexpensive but well worth it in the long run.

Excellent...but doesn't fit standard loaf cuts from a bread maker unfortunately. Not very flexible and the opening point can be more time consuming than expected. Other than that...very easy to clean and completely natural product makes it a win overall. I can live with the shortcomings. Plan to replace all plastic Ziploc bags for my family and this is the best option in my opinion. No more microplastics to be concerned about, less non biodegradable waste and saving money 👍
