Crivanto™ Stand-Up Silicone Food Storage Bag, 4-Cup (Offer)

Eleven lids in the drawer. Not one of them fits.

A soft silicone food bag that stands up, stays open while you fill it, and presses shut. It has no lid, so there is no lid to lose.

Stands up by itself Press to seal No lid 4 cups / 1 liter

• It stands. A flat base keeps it upright on the counter, in the fridge door and in the freezer drawer.
• It stays open. The wide rim holds its shape, so you can hold the pot in one hand and the ladle in the other.
• It presses shut. Run your fingers along the top. That is the whole closure.
• It goes where the food goes. Fridge, freezer, microwave and dishwasher. See the care card in the box.
• It holds a real portion. 4 cups, or 1 liter. Enough for soup for two or a family side.
• It comes in five colors. Blue, White, Pink, Orange and Green, so you can tell Tuesday's chili from Sunday's stock.

It was never the containers. It's the lids.

The tubs are fine. They stack, they last for years. The lids are what warp in the dishwasher, crack at the corner, and vanish. Then you are standing at the counter with hot food, trying lid after lid on a tub that fits none of them.

You are not disorganized. A container that comes in two pieces will always end up as one piece and a search. On a parenting forum, one poster's name for that cupboard was the "carnage cupboard".

The fix is not a better lid. It is no lid.

You already stopped microwaving the orange one.

Every kitchen has it. The tub that went cloudy, then orange, then slightly bent. Nobody had to tell you to stop reheating dinner in it. You just did.

If you would rather store and reheat your family's food in something that is not old plastic, that is a reasonable preference and you do not need a study to hold it. This bag is silicone, not plastic.

Glass is great, until you have to lift it.

If you switched to glass, you were right about a lot. It does not stain. It does not hold smells. It goes in the oven.

It is also heavy, it takes the whole shelf, it does not survive the tile floor, and it still has a lid. Keep your glass for the oven. This is for everything else: the fridge door, the freezer drawer and the lunch bag.

A bag that behaves like a tub.

Most reusable bags are flat. They flop over when you pour, and filling one is a two-person job. This one is shaped differently, and the shape is the point.

1. Open it wide. Set it on the counter. It stands.
2. Fill it. Both hands are free for the pot and the ladle.
3. Press it shut. Run your fingers along the full length of the top.

It holds itself open. You hold the pot.

It goes from the freezer to the microwave to the dishwasher.

Freeze Sunday's soup upright. Reheat it in the same bag on Wednesday. Open the bag fully, rinse it, or put it open-side-down on the dishwasher rack.

A plain word on the seal: it is a press seal, made for storing food upright in the fridge and freezer. Press along the whole top edge and check it before you move it.

Start with three. Clear one shelf.

One bag replaces one tub and its lid. Three replace the shelf you avoid opening. Ten replace the whole cupboard.

• 1 bag: $22.99
• 3 bags: $44.99, which is $15.00 a bag
• 5 bags: $66.99, which is $13.40 a bag
• 10 bags: $99.99, which is $10.00 a bag

Where it earns its place

Sunday batch cook. One pot of soup, four bags, four dinners standing in the freezer drawer.

Tonight's leftovers. Straight from the pan into the bag, into the fridge door.

Tomorrow's lunch. Lighter than glass in the bag you carry to work.

Cut fruit and salad. Standing where you can see it, so it gets eaten.

Straight answers

"Twenty-three dollars for a bag?"

For one, yes. Three bring it down to $15.00 a bag and ten to $10.00 a bag. Count the tubs you have replaced because the lid went missing.

"Won't it flop over like the others?"

Flat bags flop. This one has a flat base and a rim that holds its shape. It stands empty and it stands full.

"Will tomato sauce stain it?"

Strong colors can mark any food container over time. Pick a darker color for tomato and curry, and rinse soon after use.

"Can I throw it in my bag full of soup?"

Carry it upright. It is a press seal made for upright storage, not a screw cap.
