Designed for multi-purpose kitchen use, the Ideatech 6-pack utilizes a dual-material construction. The main body of each bag is made from LFGB-grade silicone, providing thermal stability up to 230°C and strong resistance to punctures. To create an airtight environment, the bags use a rigid plastic slider bar. While this mechanism is effective at sealing the bag, the plastic components have a lower heat threshold than the silicone and should be hand-washed to prevent warping at temperatures above 70°C.
The bags feature a wall thickness of 1.5mm to 2.0mm, which is standard for mid-range reusable containers. This thickness helps the bags maintain their shape and provides a good barrier for long-term storage. Molded-in volume lines are a helpful addition for portion control and meal prep. Users should note that the sliding mechanism requires some grip strength to operate, and for the best seal, it is important not to overfill the bags, which can put undue stress on the slider bar.
These bags are a practical choice for reducing single-use plastic waste, with a single bag capable of replacing hundreds of disposable alternatives over its lifecycle.
To ensure proper hygiene, it is recommended to prop the bags open during the drying process, as the narrow opening can otherwise trap moisture and lead to mildew. These bags are well-suited for refrigerator storage, dry snacks, and sous-vide cooking when used correctly.
For a lighter-weight option focused primarily on refrigerator and dry storage, you might consider the Splf 20-pack.
