Zip Top Reusable 100% Silicone Food Storage Bags and Containers, Made in the USA - 3 Dish Set - Teal

These bags are great for the purpose I use them, which is dry snacks. We felt so wasteful using plastic zip lock bags, and were over using toddler snack cups with the amount of space they take up, these looked like a great alternative. I bought these and Stashers to compare, as I was looking for something to store kid snacks in that they could just grab and go without help.Stashers definitely have a better seal, but still are not leak proof. These Zip Tops are also not leak proof, but I felt they let the same amount of air out that the Stashers did. It does state clearly on the package, and in the description before ordering, to stand upright when using with liquids. Therefore, I can not find them at fault with leaks with liquids. But I wouldn’t store liquids in zip lock bags either.That being said, I love the Zip Tops better. The stand on their own is great, especially for using them as storing snacks that the kids can just grab and eat directly out of the bag. They are definitely easier to clean inside the dishwasher and dry nicely. I feel like the Stashers have tough to wash/dry spots, and takes longer to dry. The Stashers are also harder to open, my kids can’t open them and it’s a struggle for me. Plus they feel more delicate then the Zip Locks.I will be buying more Zip Locks. They will be great for backpacking and cooking meals in too!

My first experience with silicone storage bags was with the Stashers brand. I see them in a lot more stores, they seem to dominate the market. Stashers work pretty well, but after trying Zip Top storage containers, I won't buy any more Stashers.First, and most importantly, Zip Tops are easier to clean. I simply run them through the dishwasher, held open by a few adjacent prongs in the rack, and they come out immaculate. The seal of Stashers fits together tightly all the way to the edges, which means that getting into the inside crease is very difficult, if not impossible, and makes them prone to mold. Stashers are good for foods or dry goods that aren't too liquid, moist, or sugary. Because Zip Tops have a seam that is less tight near the ends, they can be thoroughly and completely cleaned very easily by hand or by the dishwasher. For long-term storage of items that need to be VERY airtight (meat in a freezer, crispy crackers that need to avoid humidity), I admit that Zip Tops wouldn't work as well as Stashers, but I'd rather use a sealed jar or Tupperware-type container for chips. I don't freeze animal proteins. I use the Zip Tops to store frozen vegetables and they work great, but they aren't completely airtight, but I don't keep anything frozen for more than a month or two, so they aren't frozen long enough to freezer burn.Zip Tops are easier to seal than Stashers. The zip seams are thicker and more substantial and I find the Zip Tops easier to get to close. I have good manual dexterity and fine motor skills, not clumsy, stubby fingers like Fred Flintstone.Zip Tops are much thicker, stronger silicone. I have a Zip Top that I use for freeze dried cat food–raw "marshmallow" puffs of raw chicken and salmon–and I put a handful into a Zip Top and smash the meat puffs with a flat metal pounder disc to powder them before reconstituting them with water. I've been using the same Zip Top for this purpose once or twice a day for over 6 months and the container shows no sign or wear, not even scuffing. I tried this with a Stasher bag once and the silicone immediately tore and was perforated. That Stasher bag got upcycled into a silicone bookmark.The design of Zip Tops that allows them to stand up is very useful to me. I prep and freeze kale, squash, artichokes, rhubarb, and cooked grains and they easily sit neatly in my freezer door's shelf, like a row of books that I can visually scan through. When I'm chopping vegetables to fill them, the sit conveniently open like jars on the counter until I close them. It is important to leave enough room from the top so the edges have room to close without being too tight around the contents or the seal will pop open when freezing.I think that you might be able to find Stashers cheaper if you shop around for sales or go to remnant stores like Home Goods, TJ Maxx, or just the sale rack at grocery stores, but they ARE flimsy relative to the Zip Tops and harder to clean. If you need to economize, are storing food much longer term and need a more airtight seal, are planning on always being gentle with them, and don't mind digging into cracks with a toothbrush and feeling like you're trying to clean belly button lint out of a mouse's navel, Stashers are okay. I still use a little one to hold my bar soap at the gym, or to keep a chocolate bar fresh.If you want to be able to pound contents, stand the container upright to fill it, easily clean it, store containers on a shelf or rack, open and close it easily, and don't plan on storing items for more than a couple months, or don't have to contend with high humidity, Zip Tops are clearly the superior choice. The oldest ones that I have, which I originally purchased in a grocery store over a year ago, are indistinguishable from the newer ones.Silicone storage containers may save 5000+ disposable bags, but since one costs as much about 100 disposable bags, I have been investing in them slowly. It's worth it to me. I was washing (and drying) and re-using the disposable Ziplock bags and the silicone bags are easier to maintain and make for better freezer organization.

Es ligero, su sellado es bueno y el tamaño ideal para llevar botanas

Great value, work brilliantly. I’ve been using these now for a few months. They freeze well, clean well in the dishwasher, can hold a decent amount and are generally great.The only thing I’d be a bit wary of is they don’t fit larger slices of bread well in terms of width. But for snacks and smaller sandwiches or sandwiches that have been cut up they’re great and better than some more expensive ones I’ve bought.

Love this, can heat food in it or take pack lunch in it. I marked it down a star because it does leak so need to be careful transporting liquids but I mainly use for leftovers in the fridge and to heat and eat from the next day or for sandwiches out and about. Love the texture and no messing about with a lid and that is a good shape to eat from although the sides are a little too high but it does mean can store a lot
