I freeze a lot of food (homemade soups, sauces, pierogis, along with fruits, breads, and herbs) and these stasher bags have been a game changer! No more ziploc baggies, no more tupperware taking up space and causing a lot of freezer burn because of so much air getting caught. The stasher half gallon can hold a lot, squeezes out the air, and can easily be "filed" on my freezer's shelf, leaving plenty of space for ice cream. And I love that it can go from freezer to stovetop easily.
