StasherPremium Silicone Reusable Food Storage Sandwich Bag, Aqua, Microwave, Sous Vide, Dishwasher, Oven and Freezer Safe, BPA Free, Leak-free, Eco-friendly, 28 Oz

In my attempt to use less plastic and waste got Reuseable Baggies over the years.None of them held up like the Stasher bag. Nice and Stedry and STAYS CLOSED.

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.

sturdier than another product I purchased. Glad to use it to use less single use plastic

I use this to keep the second half of my dogs' refrigerated pet food sealed until the next day. It's easy to seal up, easy to clean, no issues at all.

I should start off by saying that I am probably the target audience for these bags. I am a working mom, I used to pack snacks in Ziploc bags for the family every day. I also meal prep and use Ziploc bags to freeze and store food. When we take day trips, I also pack sandwiches for us and the kids in Ziploc bags, along with any snacks (and you know kids get hungry!). I use Pyrex heavily for storing food and leftovers, but I recently started searching for something to cut back on Ziploc waste.Enter the Stasher; I bought one at a local store to try it before investing in a set. The bags are dishwasher, microwave, oven, and freezer safe. I loved the Stasher and ended up buying sets (I now have 10+ in different sizes). I now bring at least one in the diaper bag for any potlucks, parties, restaurants, etc. for any leftovers. I pack my snacks in them and snacks for the family - we use them daily. For day trips to the zoo, lunch and snacks are packed in the Stashers. I have not really tried microwaving or baking food in them, so I can't speak to that aspect of the Stasher. I have frozen meat and lasagna in the Stashers, and they did well in the freezer. You can even write on them to label (I used a dry eraser and wiped off with a damp cloth). I absolutely love mine and would strongly recommend to anyone considering!Now the cons: the cleaning. Stashers are not something you can just pop in the dishwasher and expect them to come out dry and ready for use. That is one of the reasons I rated 4.5 stars and not 5. I usually put mine in the top rack and when they come out, I wipe the inside with a dry towel and leave them gaped in the dishrack to air dry for the day. This has worked well for me - I have used them for a few months, and have not run into the mold problem some other reviewers mentioned. The seal is good but isn't perfect - to be honest, no reusable bag is going to have a perfect seal. I'm happy with it, but I also do not store liquids in my Stashers.If you are a heavy Ziploc user and food prepper, and you are someone who can take care of your stuff, I would definitely recommend the Stasher!

Love this! Durable and high quality. I love putting my snacks in it! and dishwasher safe!

I use these more than I thought I would. I initially bought 2 sandwich size bags because I have two boys, but very quickly bought two more & two of the snack size. They are a bit of a tight fit for my kids to get sandwiches out of, but we rarely use them for actual sandwiches, putting our snacks in them instead; watermelon, blueberries, and other fruit along with dry cereal, crackers, etc.They are leakproof & easy to seal. Even my 3 year old can press it shut. And possibly best of all, they are dishwasher safe! I haven’t had any problems with mold in the corner of the seal, but that could be because I dry them out with a paper towel - sometimes because we use them so often I can’t wait for them to dry on their own.I haven’t had them for very long, 6 months maybe, but I have completely stopped using plastic baggies for snacks & sandwiches which makes me feel pretty good.
