SPLF Reusable Food Storage Bags, 1 Gallon

Quick overview

If you want to cut down on disposable bags, these reusable gallon-size bags offer a simple way to store food and keep the same container in rotation. The six-bag pack is made from extra-thick PEVA and has double closures intended to help seal in food and prevent leaks. The gray bags are designed for freezer storage, too, so they can handle more than packing a sandwich for lunch.

A solid pick if you want reusable bags for food, travel items, or small household essentials. They’re also lightweight, which makes them easy to tuck into a lunch bag or pack for a trip.

How to take care of it

The bags are listed as dishwasher-safe on the top rack, with a temperature limit of 140°F, the product guidance also says to skip high-temperature dishwasher functions to help extend their lifespan. That makes cleanup less hands-on than washing every bag by hand, though the closures and interior still need to be clean before you put food away again.

Keep in mind that these bags are not microwave-safe. If you regularly reheat food in its storage container, a microwave-safe container will fit that routine better. For freezer use, the bags are intended for foods such as meat, chicken, fish, fruits, and vegetables, with the seal designed to help protect contents from freezer burn. A tight closure is useful, but it’s still sensible to store a bag upright when it contains liquid or a marinade, especially while moving it to the freezer.

Practical tips

Use the gallon format when you need room for a larger portion or several items together, for a quick lunch, that can mean packing a sandwich and a snack in the same bag rather than reaching for multiple disposable ones. The product also suggests uses beyond food, including toiletries on a trip or small items such as stationery and jewelry at home. Keeping food and non-food uses separate makes the bags easier to manage.

The widened sides and non-slip zipper are meant to make opening and closing easier. Press the closure along its full length before storing anything that could spill, and leave enough room to close the top without forcing it. Compared with a single-use bag, this option makes more sense if you’re willing to wash and reuse your storage bags, if you want something to toss after one use, disposable bags require less upkeep.

Before you decide

Can these bags go in the freezer? Yes. They’re described as freezer-safe for foods including meat, fish, and produce.

Are they safe to use in the microwave? No. The product information says they are not microwave-friendly.

Can I put them in the dishwasher? They’re listed as dishwasher-safe on the top rack under 140°F. Avoid high-temperature functions, as directed.

Final verdict

These SPLF bags suit shoppers looking for reusable, gallon-size food storage with freezer use and dishwasher cleanup in mind. Their versatility may be useful if you also want one bag format for travel toiletries or household odds and ends. You may want to skip it if you need microwave-safe storage or prefer containers that don’t need washing between uses. The main tradeoff is straightforward: less reliance on disposable bags in exchange for cleaning and handling a reusable one each time.
