There have been a couple of scheduled power outages for my area due to an attempt on the part of the electric company to install insulated lines as a replacement for the uninsulated variety that have been implicated in California wildfires. The power was going to be off all day — more than the four hours it is safe to leave food in a refrigerator that isn't operating. I buy these Ziploc bags regularly from Sam's Club for food use but this time I needed to break down a large bag of ice to keep the individual shelves and drawers in two refrigerators cold during the outage. In each case, water leaked out of the corners of the bag as the ice melted, which left a watery mess to clean up in both refrigerators. Several years ago I noticed that these "freezer bags" had become thinner and thinner, much like the single-use plastic that is used in bottled water. (Sometimes the bottled water I buy is damaged because the weight of the water in the case, which are stacked at the club store, crushes the bottles below it, something that never used to happen in the past.) Similarly, these freezer bags aren't what they used to be. Why doesn't the Ziploc company reinforce the corners and edges of the bags if they don't want to use the heavy duty plastic they once did? Sometimes I make homemade soups and freeze them in bags because it takes up less space in my freezer than using plastic containers. Now that I appreciate that Ziplock freezer bags cannot be trusted not to leak, I won't be placing any liquids in them anymore. This is something I expect from an off brand. But plastics are bad for the environment and cheapening them is good for companies' bottom lines — so consumers apparently can't expect to get what we pay for anymore. Sign of the times!

I do not know how every household in the US would not have these in stock. These bags sit, flat making loading them easy. The ziplock makes for easily sealing the contents in. The zip hold tight and the bag are thick and do not break easily. I do recommend this product to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the opportunity to try Ziploc freezer bags with stay open design for my honest review. At first glance I thought they would be an ordinary ziploc bag, but after trying them out, I was pleasantly surprised. These bags work great especially when you have a lot of stuff to put in them. With the stay open design it was easy to pour food in them like cereal without it collapsing. It can really come in handy when filling it up. I only wish it had a wider flat bottom.

I have summarized the following methods, the marinated chicken breasts are really tasty and not woody, how can not get tired of eating. Marinated chicken breast each time I am marinated 1 week amount, put in Ziploc airtight bag, put in the refrigerator refrigerated storage, very convenient, double honeycomb sealing mouth design, twice the freshness, sealing effect is proper, there will not be any odor, and does not contain BPA does not contain plasticizers, safe and healthy. The fish and shrimp meat in the refrigerator Vegetables and fruits are also preserved in this package, put on 4.5 days, are still very fresh ~ preservation of freshness at the same time the refrigerator are tidy a lot of it. Widened easy to open the design, you can put the family cereals, cookies and bread, nuts and snacks, and this dense bag can be recycled, environmentally friendly and affordable. A variety of specifications, you can choose as needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two kids under 5 and try to make all our meals. To make life easier, I often make double batches of things that can be frozen and reheated later. I have struggled for years to load up freezer bags without spilling the contents. This makes a HUGE difference! I will definitely continue buying this.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. These are nice and thick plastic, the quality you expect from Ziploc. I love the design that helps it stay open. I tested it and it does work. I recently saw someone post recipes to freeze and I love that these will make it easy to do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new "Stay Open" Ziploc bags are not bad. You can definitely tell the material holds its structure more than the regular Ziploc bags, which can be helpful especially when trying to fill them with something without an extra pair of hands.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. These ziplock bags are just what I need to store my meat in the fridge. They have a double line zip that easily aligns and opens and closes. There's a white rectangle across the front that allows for labeling. The bag is durable and a great size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. They're big enough to hold a full pack of boneless chicken breasts and these seem to be the only bags that don't leak when you lay them flat. Great for juices and sauces to keep your meat moist and flavorful.
