How the new Stasher Bowls compare to the Stasher Bags
After trying the new Stasher Bowls, we learned how they compared to Stasher Bags and how to use them in the kitchen.
The bowls boast the same Pinch-Loc seal as Stasher Bags. I’ve often found myself using Stasher Bowls to store leftovers, but unlike some containers, I don’t have to go searching for the right lid before I put them in the fridge — the seal is built into the bowl itself. To make sure the seal doesn’t leak, I filled the bowls with water, pinched them shut and turned them upside down — nothing dripped out then or when I packed my lunch in the bowls and threw them in my bag before class.
Like Stasher Bags, the bowls are oven-safe and can be put in boiling water up to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, the brand says. And they’re microwave-safe: I use them while I’m meal prepping to steam vegetables and cook fish, and eat directly from them as well. The bowls are also dishwasher- and freezer-safe, according to the brand.
One of the first features I noticed about the bowls is that there’s a label on the bottom to remind you that they can go in the oven, microwave and dishwasher. My Stasher Bags don’t have this label, but I think it’s a smart addition to the bowls, especially for those who are not familiar with the brand.
If you’re looking for a product similar to Stasher Bowls, I’ve found Zip Top’s Dishes line to be comparable. Zip Top Dishes are available in three sizes and are dishwasher-, freezer- and microwave-safe, according to the brand. W&P also sells Stand-Up Bags, but they more closely resemble Stasher’s Stand-Up Bags than the brand’s new bowls.
