XXL Silicone Food Storage Bags: One Gallon, Leakproof, Reusable

In short: a 135oz, one gallon silicone bag that stands up while you fill it, seals leakproof and lies flat in the freezer. It handles the jobs a gallon zip bag does, from a week of soup to a marinating roast, and then goes in the dishwasher instead of the trash.

Blue, clear or a four-pack

The blue bag hides the look of frozen food and looks good on the counter. Prefer to see what is inside without opening it? The same bag comes in clear. For serious batch cooks there is a four-pack with two blue and two clear, priced lower than buying them one by one.
