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!

Pretty, easy to use, quality materials. These bags have helped me keep my homemade bread fresher longer than any other bag I've found. The built in handle makes ease of closure and portability top tier. Machine washable and made of recycled materials.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:These have been by far the best bread bags. Have you ever used. It keeps our bread from drying out, it seems like it lasts a decent amount of time. I was tired of spending money on disposable ziplock bags. I'm very happy with this purchase and recommend it to anybody who does a lot of bread baking. I really like how you can zip it up. Roll it and snap it. You don't have to do this, but we like to. Heavy duty material. It seems to last a long time. I'm very easy to clean.

I feel bad for deducting a star, but there's no way to subtract just half a star.First of all, I absolutely love these bags. I bake a lot of bread and these bags are great for my loaves. I use these for storing my bread at home and I also use them for transporting bread when I share it.The transporting is where I ran into a little trouble though. Since these bags don't have handles, it's natural to carry them by the top strap. Unfortunately, the snapping buckle is too flimsy to support the weight of the contents of the bag and the clasp snaps open (and everything falls on the ground).It's a small but valid complaint. Instead of using that strap, I carry the bag like a baby now and just don't drop it.The bag still works great for keeping everything fresh, but it's not as convenient to carry as I'd like.By the way, wanna know how to make an entire airplane smell great? Use this bag to transport three loaves of freshly baked jalapeño cheddar loaves when you travel. My bread turned a lot of heads on my flight.

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!

Love these reusable bags for my sourdough loaves! I have tried just about everything to keep my loaves fresh after baking. They fit a large loaf, no problem and my sourdough keeps fresh the longest in them! Loves that they are reusable!!

I really wanted to like these bags. They are big and fit a loaf of round sourdough bread well! However, even with zipping and rolling up the bag, my bread got moldy within a few days. I like that you can wash them in the washing machine and that they have both a zip and roll closure, but I expected my bread to last a little longer in them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I can’t believe how amazing these bags are! The two of us don’t eat a lot of bread, so end up freezing extra or wasting a lot. The bread stays so fresh, and not only not moldy, but stays soft, too! Even sourdough. Crazy. Highly recommend.
