I ordered these because I felt like I was blowing through way too many Ziploc bags
I ordered these because I felt like I was blowing through way too many Ziploc bags. This is a nice alternative if you store a lot of pre-cut vegetables, leftovers, or small snacks for lunches. I really like these because the zipper works surprisingly well & I really feel like it does a great job of keeping food airtight. The volume inside isn't great, but as mentioned before, it's good if you're storing pre-cut vegetables or some leftovers. To give you an idea of the volume in one bag, if I cut up an entire head of purple cabbage, it takes me four of these bags to store all of the cabbage if I'm not stuffing it in the bag. I've only had them for a month or so now, but already feel like my plastic bag consumption has gone way down. Both a money saver & a bonus for the environment!
The only downside to these it that they are hard to clean & dry once they are cleaned. Yes you can put them in the dishwasher, but they take up a lot of space on the top rack if you try to completely open them so water actually gets inside to clean it out. I've found hand washing them is much quicker. Getting them to dry is another chore. They don't want to stay open on their own, so the water that gets inside doesn't really dry up unless you rig up a stand that will keep them held open while drying.
Overall, I really recommend these products because they are a great alternative to traditional disposable plastic bags. Just be wary that they are somewhat of a chore to clean & dry.
