What is a Stasher Bag?
A Stasher Bag is a reusable and completely sealed silicone bag for storing your food, your toiletries and the like.
It is also brilliant for packed lunches.
A Stasher Bag can replace zip bags or the classic freezer bag and can be used thousands of times times.
Stasher Bags are made of pure platinum silicone, which is the absolute purest form of silicone. It is also called "liquid glass". You can safely store your food in it - including fatty and acidic ones.
Platinum-hardened silicone is primarily made of sand and oxygen. No fossil resources are therefore used in the production of Stasher Bags, nor resources that could otherwise be used for food production.
Stasher Bags can also withstand heating in the oven, microwave and sous vide pan.
The silicone bags are completely airtight when closed.
Also feel free to use Stasher Bags for freezing your food. The silicone bags are transparent and therefore give a good overview of the contents, while also saving a lot of space.
This Stasher Bag is a Sandwich version and measures 18 x 19 cm.
It can hold approx. 0.5 liters.

How to use your Stasher Bag
As you have probably already discovered, you can Stasher Bags are used for a great deal. Here are some tips for use in the oven, microwave, sous vide pot and freezer.
Stasher in the oven: Place your open bag on a baking tray and put it in the oven. We recommend heating at a maximum of 210 degrees. And leave the bag slightly open so that the steam can escape.Stasher in the microwave: Leave the bag open here too when you heat food in the microwave. If you are going to make popcorn, we recommend a Stasher Stand-up. It gives a little more space to pop.Stasher in Sous vide pot: Put the food in the bag and slowly lower it into the water. The heat causes the air to seep out of the bag and will create a vacuum around the food. Close the bag and make sure it is completely closed when it is in the water. Prepare as you normally would, but now completely without plastic.Stasher in the freezer: Use Stasher Bags to freeze your food. They are brilliant for leftovers from dinner or for wet food such as fruit or meat. Stasher Bags do not take up much space in the freezer and since they are transparent, they provide a good overview.
Tips for Stasher Bags
Write on your Stasher Bag with a whiteboard pen. It comes off easily in the wash
Your Stasher Bag may be discolored by certain foods (tomato and the like). A little smell can also be transferred if you have used your stasher bag for strong foods. Both parts can be remedied with a little baking soda and lemon.
If they get a little discolored over time, you can use vinegar and baking soda to remove them, and if that doesn't work, we have another tip up our sleeve as well.
If you have Stasher bags in Clear or lighter versions, the best way to remove discoloration is to actually let the sun do the work. If you leave your bags out in the sun for a few hours or 3, the UV rays will work to remove the discolouration.
Of course, that requires it to be out in the sky.
You can also remove food smells by putting your stasher bags in the oven at 175 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Make sure they cool down again before handling them.
You can also soak them in hot water with a little vinegar and salt for an hour. It can also help.
And then the best tip is probably just to use it again and again and again :-)
