What immediately sets the Stasher bag apart is its commitment to eco-consciousness. Crafted from premium food-grade silicone, this storage bag not only replaces traditional single-use plastic bags but does so with a durable, versatile, and reusable alternative. The reduction in single-use plastic waste is a compelling reason to embrace the Stasher bag, aligning with a commitment to environmental responsibility.
The versatility of the Stasher bag is truly impressive. From storing snacks and leftovers to marinating ingredients, this bag handles a myriad of kitchen tasks with ease. The airtight seal ensures food stays fresh for extended periods, contributing to reduced food waste and promoting a more sustainable approach to meal preparation and storage.
The durability of the silicone material deserves special mention. The Stasher bag has proven to be resilient to daily wear and tear, standing up to repeated use and rigorous cleaning without compromising its integrity. The ability to withstand a wide range of temperatures further enhances its functionality, making it suitable for freezer storage, sous-vide cooking, and more.
Cleaning the Stasher bag is a breeze. Its dishwasher-safe design simplifies the maintenance process, saving both time and effort. The smooth surface and lack of intricate crevices eliminate the concern of residual food particles, ensuring a thorough and hygienic cleaning experience after each use.
The user-friendly design of the Stasher bag includes a convenient pinch-lock seal, making it easy to open and close securely. The transparent material allows for quick identification of contents, streamlining kitchen organization. The bag's sleek and compact profile also facilitates easy storage when not in use.
In conclusion, the Stasher Reusable Silicone Storage Bag is a stellar example of sustainability meeting practicality. Its eco-friendly design, versatility, durability, and user-friendly features make it an indispensable addition to any environmentally conscious kitchen. I wholeheartedly recommend the Stasher bag to individuals seeking a sustainable and reliable alternative to disposable plastic bags, contributing to a greener and more responsible lifestyle.
The Stasher bags make a great addition to my plastic free reusable items collection of household items.
Overall, I wouldn't consider them that great for voluminous items, since the silicone is quite thick and the opening quite narrow. And if you pack too much stuff in them the pinch-lock can easily open; but if you don't over stuff the bags the seal is air-tight. Still, personally I won't store liquids like soup in them.
I personally wash them in the dishwasher and they always come out 100% clean. I just make sure that I `spread` out the opening as much as I can without putting stress on the silicone. I never noticed gunk hiding in the crevices of the pinch-lock or around the corners; and since mine are transparent, they would be easy to spot. If I leave them stretch-opened in the dishwasher, they dry out completely.
Depending what I stored in the bags, they do get some staining in time; but I consider this part of the regular wear and tear.
Otherwise, my bags were used hundreds of times in the freezer, microwave and oven, without any issues.
Snack size:
The snack size is pretty small, it's more usable for portioned snacks (puffs, nuts, crackers, dried fruit, homemade granola bars). It's quite sleek, so it fits in bags and backpacks, while keeping items safe. If you sit on the bag you'll crush the puffs/crackers, but otherwise they do help with keeping snacks from crumbling.
I used sometimes to freeze smaller portions of fruits or half of an avocado.
It's the perfect size to bring vitamins and supplements to a week long vacation/travel.
Sandwich size:
The sandwich size is the most versatile for me. I use it to store small portions of meats and veggies/fruits in the freezer. I use it for leftovers in the fridge. I use it to carry snacks, from rice cakes, to carrots, sugar snap peas, crackers, puffs. I use it for bread and sandwiches; the bag fits regular sized sandwich bread, but it's too large for thin sliced small portioned ones and not big enough for super-sized slices; if you make huge over-stuffed sandwiches, they won't fit in the bag.
Besides storing bread, the bag is great for reheating stale or frozen bread in the oven. I pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees, put the bread/buns locked in the bag for 7-8 minutes and get back crusty warm delicious bread. I bet it works for (non-glazed) donuts and pastries as well.
I also cooked eggs in the sandwich size bags, both in the microwave and in boiled water. The eggs are really fluffy when cooked in the Stasher bags.
Big size (1/2 gallon):
I mostly use the big size to freeze large quantities and sizes of veggies (great for long one like green beans and asparagus).
But the best use for the 1/2 gallon bag for me is making popcorn. I just put in the salt and the popcorn kernels, run my microwave popcorn program for 3-4 minutes, and get perfectly popped popcorn each time; you can add oil or butter if you like, but it's not mandatory. I would repurchase this bag again and again just to use it for popcorn. Mine started getting brown stains from all the times I made popcorn in it.
Another great use for the big size is steaming veggies in the microwave for a quick meal. It works for green beans and smaller broccoli and cauliflower florets.
Stand-Up:
This is definitely the most versatile bag, from pantry to freezer, from produce to soups. It can hold a large diversity of dry bulk goods, rice, beans, smaller pasta, crackers, nuts, cereal. Fruits and smaller (or cut) veggies fit perfectly both for fridge and freezer storage. They are great for meal prep, both for storing food and for taking it along (although the opening won't allow too much flexibility from eating straight from the bag). In the big one I can store even whole cut watermelons and halves of spaghetti squash.
I have purchased various sizes from Amazon both individual bags and sets, usually when there's a deal around. I have reviews for different sizes with the same overall comments, but specific considerations depending on the size.

Queso, granos, snacks una maravilla por poder re usar!
Sturdy bags that can hold and keep many different types of food; they save space on the fridge; they have a very tight seal (they keep liquids provided you’re sensible and don’t squeeze them too hard, they do take some level of pressure without opening no problem); They go on the freezer and they do fit a lot depending on what you’re using them for.
They have always been leakproof for what I use them - I never traveled with a bag full of soup in my backpack tho, so I don’t know your standards/ideas on leakproof. Fruits, cookies and sandwiches/bagels are fine to travel tho. Also for seasoning/marinating stuff overnight in the fridge they work great.
The opening is finicky but that’s what makes the seal really good, so you have to pick your battles, and I never had any problems on transporting sandwiches - if it’s cut in half and arranged nicely.
To take the contents out just press the corners into each other and the opening should suffice. They are tight. If they’re not tight, they won’t be leakproof. Get a bigger model if you want more space, you can’t have it all.
They’re ok to clean, but drying silicone bags out is a bit of a pain in general, you have to stack them upside down on a glass or something and forget them there for a good few hours. Not a deal breaker but could be improved. Maybe selling then with a thin stand/dish rack add-on to dry them? I don’t know.
I don’t use my Stasher for cooking/boiling/microwaving so I can’t comment on that.
I bought cheaper ones to compare and I like them as well, but the Stasher does work and feel a bit better, specially on closing and opening, maybe the silicone quality is what does it, you do feel the slightly difference in touch/feel of the material. The seal seems pretty much the same and they’re equally useful to me.
They’re dishwasher safe but I ended up always washing by hand for some reason so I also can’t comment on that.
If you don’t want them for cooking/boiling, consider buying cheaper brands, they perform very similarly and are WAY cheaper - I got this one for £11 and the cheaper ones were a set of 3 for £15.
I gotta say tho I really like the Stasher bag and although they’re are a bit overpriced, if they last as they seem to do, it’s well worth the investment. As it is, I would recommend/ buy more of them, great experience overall.
