Product Information

However, there is one caution to take when using this material. While this type of plastic fares well in room temperature conditions as well as in the fridge and freezer, it is not safe to heat. Therefore, this product should never be used in the microwave or the oven. The seal isn’t quite as leakproof as the Stasher (below) but is easier to close and open. 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. It stayed shut when dropped flat from 3 feet but split open when dropped at an angle. Live more sustainably - get our free Sustainability newsletter to make changes for you and the planet

Silicone products need to go through a curing process that uses either platinum or peroxide as the catalyst. Curing with peroxide is cost-effective but requires fillers that add contaminants and byproducts to the final product (that do not affect its safety for food storage). Platinum curing is more expensive but produces purer silicone with no fillers that is stronger and more durable as a result. All medical-grade silicone is platinum silicone, but not necessarily food-grade silicone. PEVA is a safe choice for food storage that is a great choice for families who are always on the go.
