Review on 👜 SPLF 12 Pack BPA FREE Reusable Storage Bags: Leakproof Silicone and Plastic Free Lunch Bags for Food Meat Fruit Veggies - Including 6 Reusable Sandwich Bags and 6 Reusable Snack Bags by Alexa Johnson

Overall: This product is great for those looking for reusable PEVA storage bags with limited fridge, countertop and sink space as the bags fit into smaller spaces more easily than a Tupperware container for certain items . For example diced peppers or diced onions. These bags are suitable for those who wish to hand wash the bags without subjecting them to heat - do not put these bags in the microwave, do not hand wash in hot water and do not wash the bags in the dishwasher. These bags are really airtight and I've never had a problem in that regard :) If these bags could withstand a higher temperature before melting in my dishwasher and didn't retain smells and colors as easily, I would buy them again. These reusable storage bags retain certain smells and colors, making them difficult to clean and store other items inside. When I first bought these bags, I stored all sorts of ingredients and produce in them: diced onions, minced garlic, marinated tuna steaks, ginger, homemade spaghetti sauce, and homemade salsa. I quickly learned that the smell of stronger ingredients like spaghetti sauce or fish usually lingers in the bag after washing, and the color of your food can also stain these bags. After I forgot the old spinach in one of those bags, my bag turned green forever, despite multiple soaking and washing. It was the same with salsa and spaghetti sauce. To get rid of the smell, I have to soak the bags in soapy water and water for a day or two, then rub and wash off the remaining smell. I repeat this process until the smell leaves the bag. I haven't found a way to remove the color. Also, these pouches are NOT made of "very thick sealed silicone" as the name might suggest. Instead, in the description, you will find that it is actually made of food-grade PEVA material, a type of plastic. However, not all PEVA bags are created equal. This one in particular can ONLY BE HAND WASHED as it cannot withstand high temperatures. I learned the hard way that these pouches are NOT dishwasher safe, let alone microwave safe. Overall I'm disappointed to have come across a product that advertised itself as silicone when in fact it wasn't and should have read the description before purchasing and using it. these products. But these products may work well for someone else!
