The stylish bag will become your go-to farmer’s market tote. The beauty of a string bag is that it fits a surprising amount of groceries (up to 40 pounds!) and packs down so small because of the material. It's easy to store in your bag, car, or pannier for last minute shopping trips. 

It’s also a great choice for day trips or a weekend away. It’ll hold a book, a change of clothes, a jacket, a bottle of wine, whatever you please. You can tie the handles together to adjust the length, but the longer handles are quite popular.

Use and care

Dishwasher safe - just don't flip the bag inside out, it can compromise the bag's sealed edges.

Safe for use in the microwave, with a sous vide machine, a standard oven, or a pot of boiling water — up to 400F.

Because Stasher doesn't use any toxic sealants, the silicone can sometimes stain with certain foods. To remove stains, make a baking soda paste with vinegar or water, apply to discolored container, let sit for at least 20–30 mins, then rinse and wash the bag like normal, or leave the bag in the sun for a natural stain remover.

Mini stainless steel containers are perfect for smaller bites and snacks on the go.  These high quality food storage containers are air tight and water tight so you don't have to worry about spills.

We love this size for berries and fruit, snacks like pretzels or trail mix, and sides like beans or veggies. They're also great for picnics to hold hummus or dip. Yum! Their small size makes them great for kids lunches or snacks to keep in the stroller or diaper bag. They're nontoxic and easy for little hands to open without spilling.

They are also great for storing and transporting sauces or warm snacks because the base container can heated in an oven, toaster oven or on the stove and handled with pot holders.  Please note that the lid should not be put in the oven or on the stove because of the silicone gasket. 

Stainless steel containers are great for freezer storage! They don't crack or break like glass can. This size is perfect for berries, smoothie ingredients, or homemade nice cream. You can use a non-permanent marker to write on the container to specify contents or the storage date. The marker writings wash off easily with water and friction.

Each is easy to open and made of high quality, 18-10 food grade 316 stainless steel.
