Stasher Platinum Silicone Food Grade Reusable Storage Bag,Clear (Bundle 4-Pack Large + Bag to Give),Reduce Single-Use Plastic,Cook, Store, Sous Vide, or Freeze, Dishwasher-Safe, Eco-friendly

I am posting this same review of Stasher vs. Zip Top for both product pages.************* Head to Head Winners *************Tighter seal - Stasher (important if you are stuffing in a backpack or with sous vide, less important in a fridge)Vertical storage - Zip Top (all of them stand up very well on flat surfaces)Loading of food and liquids - Zip Top (hands down winner, Stasher doesn't stand up well, and generally needs to be loaded from the side. Zip Top is great for pouring in drinks and soups, hard to do with Stasher)Dishwashing - Zip Top (there are no nooks and crannies for food to be stuck because all corners smooth/rounded, they also stand up by themselves upside down when drying. Stasher has a tendency to close, so they take longer to dry)Sous Vide - Stasher (the tighter seal and thinner material make this a better choice for sous vide)Pricing - Zip Top (generally a tad bit less expensive than Stasher, but they both seem a bit overpriced, considering the costs of the knockoffs)Manufactured in USA - Zip Top (Stasher is made in China, requires transportation, pollutes the environment, etc.)Material: Stasher is thinner and slightly more flexible. It appears to be made in 2 halves and glued together. Not sure if that is a good thing, or if there ia any residual solvent left from being glued together. Zip Top appears to be made from a single mold. To me, the Zip Top material has a better firmer feel, and subjectively, I prefer to put leftovers in the Zip Top over the flexible, plasticky feel of Stasher. Stasher has a very clear transparent side and a partially transparent side, whereas Zip Top has the same degree of transparency throughout the entire product, which is somewhere between the full and partial transparency of Stasher.Both are great products, but in general, Zip Top has become my go to for storing food and leftovers, and looks organized in the fridge since it can stand up on its own. I use Stasher when doing sous vide, and when something needs to go into a backup and spills needs to be avoided.Disclaimer: None. I purchased these with my own money. No freebies, no bribes.

It is a gift, but looks ok.

These are fantastic! I stored cut broccoli, carrots, celery, radishes. cherry tomatoes (each veggie in their own bag) for an entire week. I took them out the next weekend and they were fresh and perfect! I love these, can't wait for a sale and I will buy more. I can use over and over. I choose to hand wash mine and dry in a dish strainer. These are sturdy and seal great! I got the clear.

I am a convert. This product is awesome! I love the sizes, it seals well, it cleans well, and I can freeze and even cook with these. Plus I know I'm not contributing to even more plastic ruining our beautiful planet. I read some of the reviews and yes the 'sandwich bag' size may be slightly tight, but it works just fine for my normal size sandwiches. If I have a bigger sandwich or lunch, I just put it in one of the larger options (I got the Bundle 4 pack + extra). I will never go back to plastic. Well worth the money!

I purchased this set during Amazon Prime Days for $45, which is a great deal. However, some of the bags can’t get a reliable seal closure due to the splintered track (see pics). If you purchase, make sure to inspect the integrity of the seal before using. Luckily, Amazon refunded my purchase.The thickness of the silicone throughout the bag (not just the seal portion) is much thicker than other competitors I’ve purchased in the past. The thicker silicone may have been a contributing factor in the splintering as noted above; the thicker it is, the more likely it is to crack if stressed. Mine arrived splintered, so it may have been mishandled after manufacturing or shipping.Unlike other bags, the zippered seal does not extend to the ends of the bag, so the opening is a little limited. The silicone is thick enough where you can push the two ends together to make the center gape into an “open mouth” so you can fill the bag (see pic). The front side of the bag is clear silicone for easy viewing and the backside is frosted. These bags are also not flat when empty, so they easily accommodate fillings of different sizes (see comparison pic).Aside from the splintered seal and future cracking concerns, the rest of the quality of the bag is really good.

So, like probably everyone reading this ad, I’d held off on buying stasher bags since they’re SO expensive. I tried other brands, but they stained or melted in the dishwasher, so I finally caved and shelled out for some stashers.This is a whole different ball game. The bags are made from thick silicone, they seal well, they survive countless runs through the dishwasher. I have literally no complaints.I’m still a bit put off by the price, but next time there’s a sale, I’m stocking up.

These are great for storing food and work well in the freezer. One of the bags has a flat base which is useful for marinades.

Bought this as I got more and more frustrated with my storage container seemed to constantly contain unmatched lids and bottoms that never fit nor really lasted. Then, my son went to a summer camp at the ecology center locally and got major kudos for being so eco-friendly. I got major mom points that day! Being able to easily transition from freezer to fridge to microwave to dishwasher has been magic.
