Our go-to
Ziploc Freezer Bags are a constant in our household. They're durable and I know that they'll keep their contents secure. I've been using them forever and don't plan to stop.
Ziploc bags are absolutely a standard in my kitchen. I use these freezer bags to portion out meals when I purchase meat in bulk and also to store items and even use for travel. I have never had a bad experience using these for their intended use (i.e. freezing food). My food is never freezer burned and I will continue to purchase these.
These are a go to in our home.......I use them for everything. They are great in the freezer as well. I have tried other brands and they do not compare. I must use for sure.
Context: I buy meat in bulk, and freeze in portion sizes. I blanch and freeze garden-fresh veggies and fruit annually. I always use new bags for "new" food going into the freezer. I will sometimes re-use bags to freeze meat scraps for pets, veggie trimmings and bones to make soup stock, etc. I know the importance of keeping air out of freezer bags (since air causes freezer burn). I organize my freezers with bins or boxes to reduce handling for meats and long term storage.
I used to always use the twist-tie style bags from Glad, because they were more economical, and years ago when I tried zip-lock styles, I had problems with bags opening themselves in the freezer as I moved items around, and freezer burn.
A few years ago, I was persuaded to try Ziploc bags - combination of positive peer reviews, sale price, and coupon.
I love Ziploc freezer bags- they're thicker and more tear resistant than other zipper-lock bags (and Glad twist-tie bags), and if properly vacuum-sealed, and not tossed around in the freezer too much, my veggies and meat don't freezer burn (and still taste fresh) for...about 1.5-2 years. Which saves me a lot of money, and makes the higher cost of these bags more reasonable. Medium/large are often available in bulk at Costco. I wish that the small sizes were also available in bulk too, as that's the size I use most.
Sadly, the last batch I bought from Costco had some manufacturing issues (in each box, several bags lightly "welded" together at the seams, and when separated there were minute holes along those seams, which let air in, and cause products to freezer burn more quickly.) I haven't given up, but Ziploc loses some points in the quality department for this challenge. Hopefully they're aware of it, and working on (or have worked out) a solution.
I am using these bags all over and over again, these bags keep the produce without ice and burns, there are more money but they keep my fruit and veggies longer in good shape.
We use these in a variety of sizes at our house and they are by far the best!
I've made the mistake in the past of purchasing cheaper or no name versions of these bags and you absolutely notice the difference. The Ziploc bags are made of a heavier feeling plastic and the seal is tight and uniform (and the easy open tabs on the version I have really do make it easy to re-open and close!). You don't worry about them opening up or splitting that's for sure. I've found with the cheaper bags they sometimes rip easily and the zipper top either breaks (if it's the type with the little plastic pull) or fails completely terms of sealing OFTEN. The Ziploc bags are worth the little extra money just to save the frustration! They do an excellent job of keeping freezer burn away too. We are confident enough in their performance to even store things like soup and sauces without worry.
Whether it's freezer storage or just packing away leftovers in some of the other Ziploc varieties, Ziploc bags are a tried and true brand that I will always use and recommend!
Quelque sois la sorte, j'utilise Ziploc pour tout, de repas congeler à sac pour les collations ou meme pour emporter une débarbouillette dans l'auto.. je l'utilise et je l'adore
These bags are awesome because they can hold a lot and they are easy to close. They are good to store food away and they can keep items enclosed without anything spilling out. Super reliable.
Ces sacs ziploc me permettent d'économiser, car j'achète de la viande au format familial que je divise ensuite afin d'avoir une livre de viande par sac que je mets ensuite au congélateur, ainsi je peux décongeler seulement la quantité de viande nécessaire pour mes repas.
These Ziploc freezer bags are so handy and always in use at my house. The bags are strong and do not rip easily and keep your food very fresh. They zip closed tightly and easily and open back up easily.
