The weight of the bag is printed on it, so grocers can charge you for purchases without including the weight of the bag. The bags come in nine sizes, ranging from pocket (4 fluid ounces) to stand-up mega (104 fluid ounces).
These tastefully tinted bags are everywhere, from Amazon and Whole Foods to Target and possibly your neighborhood co-op. It seems like you can’t stroll through a store these days without stumbling into a Stasher. Where to buy: Stasher, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond The bags need to stretch over three rows of tines in the dishwasher to stay propped open. With the stand-up version, you can at least let go of the bag without it flopping over (and it heats food in the microwave with ease), but filling the flat bag with liquid is much trickier because it is very thin and soft. After cleaning the bag in the dishwasher, it retained no smell from the fish sauce marinade.īolognese sauce stained every bag it touched even after a thorough wash, but the stains were entirely reversed in only two bags-this one and the Stasher-by simply letting the bags bathe in the sun for two afternoons (per Stasher’s recommendation).įilling W&P bags requires two hands, one to splay the opening and the other to fill. The Ziploc bag produced the juiciest, most flavorful chop, but the W&P chop was a very close second, making it the best silicone bag for sous vide. The chop stayed submerged and didn’t take up much space in the pot, unlike the thicker bags. It was easy to displace air from the bag for a tight vacuum seal.
The same attributes that make W&P bags ideal for the freezer make it excel at sous vide, too. It stayed shut when dropped flat from 3 feet but split open when dropped at an angle.

There was no leakage with the bag halfway full of water and turned upside down, but when I placed the bag on a counter with a 5-pound weight on top, it slowly leaked out of one corner. The seal isn’t quite as leakproof as the Stasher (below) but is easier to close and open. At one point, I rolled my ankle (unrelated to this article) and reached for this bag to make an ice pack. In the freezer, the bags stayed more airtight than the others, and while there was some frost clinging to the insides of the bags, there wasn’t much frost on the mango pieces, probably because I was able to press out a lot of air (the culprit of freezer burn). The curved corners make them easy to wash, and unlike most other flat silicone bags, you can turn these inside out. While the W&P bags mimic the convenience of zip-top bags, they outperform them when it comes to cleaning. W&P offers flat bags (10, 34, and 46 fluid ounces) and stand-up bags (36 and 50 fluid ounces) in five colors. The food-grade silicone is thin, soft, pliable, and crystal clear on the front. Of all the silicone bags I looked at, the W&P bags came closest to looking and feeling like a disposable zip-top bag. Where to buy: W&P, Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond
