FAQs
Can these bags be put in the dishwasher?
While some users report success on the top rack, hand washing is recommended to ensure the longevity of the airtight seal and material integrity.
Are these bags microwave safe?
No, these silicone bags are not microwave-safe. They are designed for food storage in the refrigerator or freezer.
What is the temperature range for these bags?
They are safe for use in temperatures from freezing up to 200°C (392°F), but not for direct heat like ovens or stovetops.
How do I ensure the leakproof seal is effective?
Press out as much air as possible before sealing. Ensure the closure mechanism is fully engaged and there are no obstructions on the sealing surface.
Can I use these bags to store hot liquids?
It is recommended to let hot liquids cool down slightly before placing them in the bag to avoid potential damage to the bag or burns.
What is the benefit of the self-standing design?
The self-standing design makes it much easier to fill the bag, especially with liquids or ingredients that tend to fall over, and also simplifies storage in your fridge or pantry.
How should I store the bags when not in use?
Ensure they are completely dry and then store them flat or rolled up in a cupboard or drawer. Avoid folding them sharply for long periods.
Troubleshooting
Bag is difficult to seal.
Ensure the rim and sealing area are completely clean and dry. Any food residue or moisture can prevent a proper seal.
Bag retains odors.
Wash immediately after use with warm, soapy water. For persistent odors, try soaking in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours before washing.
Bag feels sticky or greasy after washing.
Rinse thoroughly with hot water and ensure all soap residue is removed. Air drying completely can also help.
Bag feels stiff in cold temperatures.
Silicone can become less flexible when very cold. Allow it to warm up to room temperature for easier handling.
