GRIN BY GRIN Bread Bags 2 Pack Reusable Zipper Bags Extra Large

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 are nice easy to use and environmentally friendly! Just like the old fashioned bread bags! Great value too!!

Received as a gift and order these for extras and gifts! Great price!

Bread bags are a must for your sourdough. I love these bags are reusable and easy to use. I didn’t want to buy a bunch of plastic or paper bags for my loaves. These bags are fairly large so you can fit good sized loaves in them as well.

I got these for my dad who loves making sourdough and used plastic bags to store the loaves. They work so perfect and keep the bread fresh longer. They’re super easy to clean and look nice sitting on the counter. It doesn’t make the bread soggy or stale!

I was looking for a bag that I could use to store my sourdough bread loaves in the freezer. I make two loaves at a time, cut them, then freeze them so they don't go bad before they're used. Two of the loaves I make fit comfortably in one bag, even with them being cut, and they freeze well. No freezer burn yet, though the loaves only last 2-3 weeks before they're gone. I was worried they were going to be like another set I purchased, which is just a thin nylon bag, but they aren't. They're lined on the inside in a way that feels ideal. Plus the container fits really nicely on my freezer shelf. All in all exactly what I needed it to be.

Like most of the world, I have been making more things from scratch. Storage of "leftovers " has been an issue though. If you put it in the fridge, everything dries out very fast. So you try the zip lock bags and things get wet and even moldy. Then I tried the linen bags - and crust lovers love that it stays crusty - but it does dry out much more quickly. This bag is like a hybrid. It has lining that holds in moisture- but the zipper still allows it to breathe a little. My artisan bread stayed good for 3 days (and then it was all gone). I put blueberry muffins in yesterday (covered over and under with paper towels). They felt a little damp - but not sticky - and I was told they tasted great. I love that they're washable. They look cute - are a great size - and the roll and clip feature means the same bag works for smaller items as well. Bonus that it's made from recycled materials.

One bag is great but the other bag is missing one of the plastic clips. It does not look like it was ever attached. Sadly I did not realize it when purchased. I used the good bag to gift bread to someone and just now went to use the 2nd bag. Fortunately the zipper works

I’ve been using these for about 11 months and couldn’t be happier. I bake sourdough a few times a week, and these bags keep my loaves fresh for up to a week. I sometimes add a piece of paper towel inside to help absorb moisture, and it works perfectly. They also freeze beautifully — my bread always tastes just as fresh when thawed. I’ve started buying them as gifts for my sourdough-baking friends, and everyone loves them.

... eigentlich gut und teuer ... wenn da nicht die Nähte wären ... leider schon nach 3x benutzen hats die Nähte aufgebröselt ... sieht sehr nach billig Herstellung aus. Frau hats mit eigenen Mitteln wieder reparieren können ... sollte aber so nicht sein! Reißverschlüsse leichtgängig und voll ok.

I have been using these for quite a while now and recommend them to everyone. They are big and versitile and the quality is unmatched. They are easy to clean and I use them in the freezer and they are great. Would recommend!

I love these bags. Keeps homemade bread fresh.

I’m impressed with the quality and size of these bread bags. I only received them yesterday and put my first loaf of bread in one of them. We will have to see how fresh they keep my homemade sourdough bread. I also don’t yet know how easy they will be to wash between uses. Because they look to be well made, my hopes are high.
