2 Packs Bread Bags, Zipper Reusable Bread Bags for Homemade Loaf, Freezer Sourdough Container, Fresh Keeping Extra Large, Reusable Food Storage Bag

Spoiler alert I love these bags!I do a fair amount of home sourdough bread baking. It's just my wife and I as a rule so I normally bake two loaves every seven to ten days, but truthfully it just depends on how quickly we eat the bread. Sometimes, two loaves will last a couple of weeks. Anyway, I always bake two loaves at a time since it's a couple of days process. One is usually unbleached white flour or whole wheat, and the second loaf is usually a seeded Rye. To keep them fresh, for years I reused plastic Dave’s bread bags, but honestly my loaves are big enough to make that a challenge. The bags were barely large enough. So I began looking for something better.At first I tried muslin bags,which while they are great for transporting bread, they are useless for keeping it fresh. The muslin being extremely porous, the bread dries out and gets stale very quickly.Luckily I found the Grin By Grin bags. They come as a pair which is perfect for my needs. Also, being different colors ivory and blue I can easily distinguish one loaf from the other. I have used these bags continuously for about 13 months and they are great!Pros:They are very well made and sturdy. I haven’t had a single issue in that regard. Complaints I’ve read about weak seams or zippers are definitely not true for me.They breath, but are not extremely porous, so they keep my bread fresh without it getting stale or drying out.They are large. In a couple of my pictures you can see that I easily fit two loaves onto a single bag. I don’t do that, but I wanted to show it’s possible.The zipper is really not necessary as it’s really the rolling and buckling the end of the bag that seals it. I say that because a few of the complaints I read regarded the zipper failing.They claim to be machine washable, but I have not found it necessary and I don’t think I’d risk it. It’s so easy to shake out the crumbs and I’ve even turned them inside out at least once and wet wiped them.I’ve not had my bread mold in them and I’ve kept bread in them for up to two weeks. That said, I don’t even bag my bread until it’s 24 hours old and I refrigerate my bread after I bag it. Occasionally, if I know it will be a while before we consume it, I will freeze it. These bags are great for either. I have seen a few complaints of moisture build up in the bags and mold occurring. I have experienced neither. I believe my success is because I never bag my bread until the day after it’s been baked and after that, I store it in the refrigerator.Cons:None!

These GRIN BY GRIN Reusable Bread Bags are a must-have for any baker! The 12x17-inch size is perfect for most loaves, and the double-lock feature keeps bread fresh and soft for days. I love the eco-friendly design made from recycled plastic bottles, and they’re easy to clean – just toss them in the washer! I highly recommend these bags for keeping bread fresh and reducing waste!

I ordered these bags for homemade sourdough loaves well over a year ago and we are still using them. They are holding up very well, love that they are washable and reusable, and they keep the bread very fresh. We recommend them to everybody!

These are very large sized and would hold a variety of types of bread easily. The zippers work well, the lining is nice, and they do improve the quality of my bread several days out. Definitely an improvement over the storage methods I tried before I got the bags. My only criticism is that the clips aren't especially sturdy and could be improved.

Love these bags. I use them for both keeping fresh bread in and also freezing home made breads. Easy to access, easy to clean.

Perfect for storing bread. I have used these in the freezer and they work well. It keeps the bread fresh for a few days. It’s supper easy to kip and fold. We have thrown these in the washer and they held up well, very well made! They smell fine!!

This product kept the bread fresh. However, after you squeeze the air out to better fit the bread, the bag is not air tight. With the zipper closed you can squeeze air out. The handle strap was slightly frayed on a new bag. I like the reusable aspect.

I bought 5 bread cookbooks because homemade bread is so delicious but I was worried about how to store the bread. I came across plastic bags but I don't want plastic or bags I have to throw away so when I found reusable bags, I had to buy them! They're a great quality, hold so much and I love the design! Now all I have to worry about is getting the bread into the bag instead of my family eating all of it before I can store it! Highly recommend these reusable bags, they're really neat!
