If you love tuning into our show, then you're probably well aware of one of Rachael's number-one tips about food storage: Store food laying down. (It'll give you more room!)

But your average reusable, resealable bag isn't necessarily designed to help you do that—especially with liquids.

That's why we asked our culinary team to test out Stasher bags.

THE CLAIM: "Stasher's 100% pure platinum food grade silicone bags are the healthy alternative to plastic. Easy to use, easy to clean, reusable and non-toxic, and it's helping the world give up its plastic bag habit. Stasher can take the heat, the cold, and anything else your kitchen dishes out. Thanks to the patented airtight seal, all of your food's nutrients, flavors and juices stay locked in."

To our senior culinary producer Jeanette Donnarumma's eye, the leak-proof promise could also make them an ideal choice for horizontal food storage!

But did they stack up to their promises and our expectations? Jeanette tried them on a veggie soup, and she had LOTS of thoughts!

"It stored it really nicely. The seal on the Stasher bag stayed really, really nicely," she says. "There is no plastic in it, it's made of silicone. I feel really comfortable throwing it in the microwave and then cooking it right in the pot. These would for sure cut down on waste."

Another bonus with these storage bags, pointed out by our Managing Editor, Nicole Cherie Jones? No lids to try and keep track of. We know we're not the only ones who hate missing and mismatched food container lids.
