This 16-pack from Lerine is built for high-volume household organization, offering a variety of sizes from small snack pouches to larger gallon bags. The primary body is made of food-grade silicone, which is known for its durability and heat resistance. However, the sealing tracks are constructed from injected Polyethylene (PE). This hybrid design means that while the bag body can withstand high temperatures, the sealing track is susceptible to warping if exposed to temperatures near 90°C, which can lead to gaps in the seal.
The material thickness varies across the set, with snack sizes measuring about 0.4mm and gallon sizes reaching 0.7mm. This provides a lightweight feel for school lunches or dry pantry storage. Tests indicate that while the bags are effective for containing solids, the airtight seal may be compromised under heavy lateral compression or when filled to more than 85% of their capacity. For home organizers, these are most effectively used for dry goods like crackers, nuts, and cereal.
The transparent TPU-hybrid clarity of these bags makes it simple to perform a quick visual inventory of your pantry or fridge.
Specifications indicate that the porous nature of silicone can retain pigments from acidic foods. To prolong the life of the seals, hand-washing is generally recommended over high-heat dishwasher cycles. The set is certified BPA and BPS-free, providing a safer alternative to traditional PVC-based storage options.
For a version that utilizes a single-material construction for even higher heat resistance, the Stasher 2-pack pocket bags are an excellent alternative.
