The half-gallon sized Stasher is the largest bag they make, and it’s good for folks that like to sous vide things, as it has a slim profile and can hold just over 64 ounces. My most-used size of Stasher is this classic 7-inch “sandwich size,” which is perfect for storing a few handfuls of leftover green beans, a chicken breast, or sliced cheese for sandwiches, while my boyfriend mostly uses the shortie “snack” size to freeze pieces of sliced banana to pop on his cereal in the morning. The large “stand up” size (which can hold up to 56 ounces) is perfect to use as a makeup bag alternative, because even if an eye-shadow palette cracks or a bottle of foundation leaks, cleanup is a breeze - and when it’s not busy holding beauty products, it’s large enough to marinate a pork loin in. I use this tiny 4.5-inch pocket-sized Stasher bag to store the cheese bits I use to give my senior dogs their pills and also to stash an individual lipstick in my purse - cleverly avoiding the mess that can result when a cap pops off the tube, smearing lipstick all over your wallet, keys, and hairbrush. They are so useful that I’ve branched out to using them in other areas of my life as well. They can go in the microwave, freezer, and dishwasher, absolutely never stain or leak, and even though I’ve washed mine in the dishwasher hundreds of times (with the high heat drying cycle on, even), they haven’t fallen apart or degraded in any way.
I have every size, shape, and fun color they make, and while they are pricey, I reach for them above all other food storage options I have in my kitchen. The very best reusable food storage bags money can buy are these food-grade silicone ones from Stasher. (I’m also not talking about Tupperware, which, of course, is inherently reusable.) After buying fistfuls of the things over the past few years, these are my favorite plastic zipper-bag replacements I’ve found that have helped me kick the Ziploc for good. Turns out, there isn’t just one product that can replace all of those wasteful sandwich baggies you actually need a small arsenal of different things at your disposal to kick the disposable ones to the curb. When I first began my quest, I furiously bought all sorts of reusable bags, but it was a serious challenge to find a replacement that works just as well as the disposable ones (and is ultra-easy to clean, because if they aren’t, I promise you’ll never use them). I’m now on my fourth straight year of using zero of them. After buying and tossing thousands of throwaway Ziploc bags in my lifetime, I decided to get serious about finding a more environmentally friendly way to store food and leftovers that wasn’t so wasteful.
