A little science info for you: some rubbers, plastics , polycarbonate ( HDPE is the most widely used polyethylene film for food packaging. It is semi-translucent and highly solvent-resistant.) are very similar molecularly to oils and fats in foods. So much so, they often bond at a molecular level. Hence the propensity for staining and why those stains can be so hard to clean off. The more you know lol
Whenever I am going to store something that might stain (i.e. pasta sauce) and I am using my plastic storage containers, I always spray them first with non stick cooking spray. Keeps the stains at bay.
Freakin' Reviews, did either one retain odors? I would care less about stains than I would odors which would likely change the taste of the stored food. Can you do a review using things like onion, garlic, chili powder, etc.? I can't believe you didn't do this in the first run!
@@SvobodovaEva I believe silicone is related to plastic which is related to oil. Which I’m not positive how it works out but seems like they attract each other in that case. I definitely know plastic containers can get annoyingly oily, and resistant to soap. You can get most off but a little will stay for awhile.
hey James, the spots are from your hard water there in Vegas, that will vary depending on the hardness of the water where the other customers are located.
On another note, It could also be related to the soap and wash cycle settings of the dishwasher. The convenience pods dont have a prewash allotment so you need a powder/liquid/gel additive. As well, the pods sometimes overdose the soap for that wash type which can leave spots and soapy residue on the newly cleaned containers, plates, etc.
If you want some thing that does not stain when using spaghetti/ted sauce, GLASS, like Pyrex, is your best bet. But, if you really like those bags, I'd get the colored ones and just use specific colors for 🍝 red sauce! We use Pyrex!
mason jars all the way, i never have enough leftovers to make a big pyrex container worth it but if i had a ton of kids or big family get togethers i'd consider. I think i spent 10 bucks in a thrift store to acquire all the mason jars in varying sizes that i use and this was like 10 or 15 years ago.
I use mason jars when I make chili. I close them with a foodsaver attatchment for mason jars. Not as good as real canning, but I get a lot more safe storage time
@@ExiledVessel I'm with you. Canning jars are so handy with their 2 lid sizes. I have 1/4 pint all the way up to 1/2 gallon, use them for dry goods, short & long term storage, freezing. So versatile.
A long soak in vinegar might remove the stains. I’m willing to try them because I use a lot of “disposable” bags, which I wash and reuse until they get torn or damaged. Therefore, I’m inclined to try a longer-lasting option and maybe save some money as well as reduce my carbon print by using less plastic.
Same. I mostly use plastic or glass containers for food, but I do use plastic zip-top bags fairly regularly; and, whenever I do, I try to reuse them as much as possible. I, like just about everybody else, saw the ads and was curious. They're a good bit pricey, but I'm certainly going to think about them.
i want to use these bags too, but im not sure how to wash them without dishwasher after storing meat... like how do i know all the germs and ecoli or whatever is gone after washing?
I went to a warehouse once to pick up a load, and the workers inside were re-packaging made in china products, into made in USA packaging. I couldn't believe it. But I think it happens alot.
I think we all know that 5 week shipping is almost guaranteed to be shipped from china. It doesnt matter how much delay there is. If something is shipping commercially, in country, then it wont take 5 weeks.
@@MissPrissKY if you look at eagle claw snell fish hook packaging it prominently states its american made... then on the back less prominently stated it says hand tied in mexico. which is just funny they sent them to another country to have small line hand tied to hooks
Well he did pay in Canadian dollars apparently. Everything's steep in Canadian right now. We're paying like $4.50/gal for gasoline and $300k for houses.
@@Dee_Just_Dee wow, I'm surprised you can even get a house for $300k up there. Whenever I am watching the home renovation shows with my wife, they always buying really beat up houses in Canada and they will say it's like a million bucks lol. I always wonder how anyone can afford rent there! I know I'm sure it's in the bigger cities, but still! You all do pay a lot to rent!
ALWAYS CHECK FOR FOOD SAFETY. As shown in the video, 2 different companies somehow have the the exact same product. One way to check food grade silicone: stretch the product, if the stretch stays clear it's good, if it turns while while stretching, return it. Also, food safe silicone should not have a smell, if it smells like any sort of plastic, return it.
To get food stains out of plastic, I have found that putting the item in direct sunlight for a day or so works really quite well. I'd try the same thing with the bags. If you don't have a sunny window to put them in, put water in them and set them out back until it starts getting dark. (The water's just to keep them from blowing off).
They work but I just can't imagine a scenario where I'd want to use one instead of a regular storage box. They're more expensive and much harder to clean.🤷♂️ Maybe someone has a specific need.
Different storage options for different storage needs. I freeze meats in storage bags to save space, no way I would use tupperwear for that. Then there is the argument of just using regular ole zip top bags. Well, these reduce plastic waste so thats a win for less plastic going to the landfills.
@@Infinite_Curiosity00 These roll up, saves a ton of space, but I'm not going to pay that price. I'll use Rubbermaid Containers! 20 for $10.00 in all sizes!
I use Stasher bags (also silicone), and they advised stains can be removed by placing them in sunlight. I wonder if that would work on the Wisely or Food Bunker bags?
There are other similar bags that are way cheaper, js, he just bought like the best kind you can get. I bought a 5 pack for like less than $10 and they work fine, don't leak, don't get damaged, passed allthe tests his have passed, just cheaper and different design, you have to shop around if you're on a budget, that's just how it is. All products come in cheap versions and expensive versions.
@@iwinrar5207 True but glass breaks. I live in a clumsy household and having broken glass around just isn't worth saving a couple bucks. Also having a kitchen so small that only one person can walk through at a time, jars start to take up a lot of space that flexible bags won't.
It's cool that we are not only getting reviews on competing similar products, but also the companies selling them, with information on the customer service and shipping issues, too. Good work, James!!
While I haven't tried these specific brands, a plus for this type of product is the massive amount of plastic waste you can avoid since you won't be using disposable plastic bags! Definitely a plus for the environment.
I’ve had my bags for almost two years-no stains. One thing that helps-stand the bag up in the sink, fill with hot water, drop in one or two denture tablets and let it soak.
@@ferociousgumby 3% hydrogen peroxide is a very gentle agent for almost anything. We used it to make tooth paste, cleaning products, etc. You can also use it to clean wound. HP doesn't have any smell.
Last year I bought a set of silicone bags similar to these except that they had the slider bar closure which I find extremely difficult to open because of arthritic hands. The bags are great for freezer storage and keep things well protected from freezer burn. I think I'll ditch the ones I have and get these, which have an easier opening and closing mechanism. Thanks for this review.
Thanks Miriam for mentioning the zip lock problem. I have fibromyalgia and struggle to close things too. I also drop everything. Thus I need unbreakable and securely closed food storage.
Yup. All too common in this era of Chinese manufacturers being contracted by companies both big and small, and Amazon selling just about anything and everything, no matter who is supplying it. Almost the very moment you put something into production, clones show up. I was watching James' videos about a "Cop Cam" security camera and its clones. I pegged them all as clones of Polaroid's "Cube" action camera.
Yeah, all the red flags were super huge when he showed them, they'r so obvious. Also I bet the item listing wasn't even new, they just copy-pasted over their last item listing for bluetooth earbuds or color changing coffee mugs and changed out the pictures, bet the older reviews are like "took forever to get my coffee mug but it's okay, only it doesn't even change colors". Because these guysa re usually so lazy they just switch all the info for whatever they're selling now and change their brand name to reflect it. Sometimes they don't even get the whole listing changed and you'll be reading about the silicone bag and suddenly there's part of the description about "these earbuds connect seamless to your phone with bluetooth technology. You will be satisfied with the clear sound..." and you're like wait what product am I looking at again? Many many times I've gone back to old orders to look something up or re-purchase something I liked and the listing is some totally different item.
I never understood ordering things from a drop shipper. Just cut out the middle man and order from aliexpress. That way you aren't supporting crappy dropshippers (although you are still kinda supporting China so its not exactly a big win).
I have similar bags and they're really not, you just pull them inside out, wipe it, rinse it, dry it inside out, then turn it right side out and let the outside dry. It takes 1 second to turn it inside out like any bag. Unless you have an issue with using your hands it's not an issue, and if it is you probably have trouble washing anything. jars and containers have an inside and you can't even turn those inside out for easy access.. and you could still wash these like any container lol your hand can fit inside you know... I've never been able to wash the inside of a jar easily if the opening is too small, I have to put the sponge inside the jar and then use a spoon to scrub it around and then use the spoon to tug the sponge back out of the jar, how is this harder than that BS?
I got a couple about 2 years ago, silicone zip lock type bags off Amazon. They're too stiff to put "bigger" items in. They just don't flex the same an plastic freezer bags. For example, I can't fit bread without smashing the ends of the loaf. But a regular plastic ziplock bag that's not a problem.
@@blazewolf9912 if I put bread in fridge or freezer in the regular plastic bag that it comes in, it absorbs taste from food around it. So I usually put it inside a zip lock before storage. I only shop about once a month for two people so I do buy in bulk and store.
Personally I prefer “Tupperware”-type stuff because I can eat directly out of it instead of pouring the contents from a bag into a secondary container and double my dirty dishes
I still don't know why you haven't got a shed in your backyard with a kitchen sink, hooks, mirror, half carpet half concrete, a fridge to test all these products. Your workshop. Then claim it on tax.
My sister bought some of the ones from Food Bunker in early March. It took more than 7 weeks for the order to get there. Some stains you can get out but the one she had blueberries in were impossible to fully remove the stains.
Great review, James! First, they are way too expensive. Anything with a high acid content will stain the material, period. Try soaking and scrubbing them in hot water with Dawn and bleach. For a much cheaper solution, use disposable/reusable plastic containers such as those made by Glad. When they get stained, throw them away. I never store acidic foods such as tomato sauce in reusable containers unless they are made of glass.
I just wanted to thank you for doing all of these reviews, they're tremendously entertaining, and useful! My girlfriend has written down many products that you've endorsed and decided to purchase them for herself & family. Your content overall is fantastic, love the way you go about the reviews and we look forward to watching videos! We will likely have this product in our covered soon enough!
I learned years ago to NOT use a dishwasher for silicon items - they always come out in a powdery film. I handwash & it's fine. Tip: For any food stain on any plastic or silicon container - put a tissue sheet or 1/2 a papertowel sheet in the container...squirt in a tiny bit of any dish detegent, 1/2 fill with super hot tap water, close up container & shake until bubbly & paper has hit all sides. Tip out & rinse. Works on tomato, curry, tumeric, cocoa, fruit stains & takes away any rotting smell of forgotten veg, cheese or meat. Tissue or paper towel & squirt of soap method also works well on nonstick pans & meat dishes that have been washed but still have an oily film. Bubble up the hot water by hand & slide the paper up the sides of item etc. Tissue is surprising strong when wet.
I saw something in the camping section at my local Walmart recently that looks like yet another version of these bags, but branded Ozark Trail. According to the Walmart website it's a package of three and they're 8oz, 16 oz and 32oz for $6.97.
Ozark Trail seems to be a knockoff brand, almost like a Walmart "store brand" sort of thing. A lot of their camping products look like attempts at undercutting Coleman.
I buy their 4-pack of metal straws in 4 colors. It comes with a brush. They work well, and the silicon slides so you can clean it as well as the straw. I've picked up 4 (4x4) packs now because I like them so much. They're 2.97.
May I ask... is the milk ok after you defrost it? I've thought of doing that. I always wind up throwing bad milk out even if I buy a small carton. I only use it for cerial.
That's what we've gone to. Also Lock n' Lock has glass so it's perfect as far am I'm concerned. We also use xlg & giant regular Lock n' Lock's for big storage in the pantry 😉
Agreed. We found a glass of preserved plums last year, which was at least thirty years old, since my great aunt, who made them, died that long ago. They were still good. I don't think you could achieve that with plastic or silicone...
Not sure if you do yet, not finished with the video, but you should try to heat the pasta sauce in the microwave in the bags. That always stains my Tupperware when I reheat cold spaghetti in the microwave. Oh, nevermind... Already stains without doing what I said lol
After using your tupperware, you should try throwing a paper towel, some water, and soap in your tupperware and close it than shake it. It may remove the stains. Let me know if it works for you.
Ah, excellent. The minute you poured water in them, part of me wanted to see what would happen if you threw it against a wall or the ground. I was not disappointed!
I'm really surprised they stain. I freeze spaghetti sauce and other things in vacuum sealed bags with my Food Saver and if I have made large enough bags, I will wash them out and reuse them at least one more time before putting them into my recycle bin and after using about 4 different makes of vacuum sealer rolls, I have not found any of them that stain, even if I have reheated the spaghetti sauce right in the bag in a pot of hot water. Comparing the cost of these silicon bags to the rolls I purchase for my Food Saver, I'll stick with the vacuum sealer. Even the reusable Food Saver zipper vacuum bags, which are not cheap, seem like a bargain next to these.
Just like other plastic or solid silicone containers I soak mine in a solution of bleach and water or vinegar with baking soda that takes care of stains
How can a guy like you NOT be aware that these bags are cheap Chinese junk and both companies are merely importing them into the USA to sell them at a high margin? You can probably get ten original bags for $5 on Ali Express. You never study the background of this nasty junk that you "review" i.e. do paid ads for?
I purchased the Food Bunker 9-piece set and had the same shipping time and experience you had. I'm of mixed opinion about the bags -- the silicone seems rugged enough and I like the concept, but 3 of the bags have at least one clip that will not engage and therefore won't seal the bag. And on one bag, the clip assembly pops off one end of the bag entirely. The bags with functional clips work great. I wish I had seen the Wiselly product first and may try the large size with the heavy-duty clips. ETA if you look up Wiselly on Amazon, the seller is listed as FoodBunker but the word WISELLY is clearly visible on the product. 🤔
Thanks for reviewing these. After your review I'm also on the fence. I don't mind or care if they stain, that's just cosmetic. I usually use glassware to store stuff but it has plastic lids that I can't microwave so it's tedious. If I could take something from the stove, to the freezer or fridge, and then back out to the zapper the next day, that's a huge time saver. But then, they're so expensive. Guh.
If you go to the BBB website and type in FoodBunker there are a ton of complaints. Pretty much all the same. Ordered and took forever or most still hadn’t gotten theirs after more than a month. I ordered mine in the pink and blue and all I got was all white, like you did. No customer service responses by phone or email. I sent about 3 emails and 4 phone calls. As of today, again their voicemail was full. Couldn’t leave a message. We’ll see if the BBB can help out. I would just say don’t buy FoodBunker no matter how good they are. You’ll never get any help if something goes wrong. I’m hoping I at least can get the colors I want. However, I really like the more colors options of Wiselly!
You are literally testing the same bag. Even though they are from different brands, they are manufactured by the same company in China. That’s why you couldn’t tell them apart. The bigger “wisely” bag is the only thing you had actually manufactured by someone else.
I’ve been using one as ice cube storage for a couple months now. It works VERY WELL! I can bang it one the counter to break up the ice without holes getting torn in it. Holds a lot of ice. I’ve even been impressed that those plastic snaps have held up to the freezer.
Another great, informative video! One thing I'll say is the markings on the bags (cups, liters, etc) are made when it's flat; they won't be accurate when bag is filled.
Thanks for the video. It's very informative. I am wondering why. Why would someone want these bags when we have other containers? Is the shape what's important? Regular, reusable, square or round food containers (glass, plastic, silicon, whatever) do everything these bags do. And they don't have convoluted sealing mechanisms like these bags do and they are easier to clean. Is the desire to have the containers be flat when empty while storing super high? These aren't flat like disposable bags. I just can't find a reason to choose these containers over traditional containers that do the same exact thing. If one wants to save the planet from disposable "baggies", there are cheaper, simpler, and more durable options that have been around for decades.
I take fruit, chips and snacks to work every day and I've always been concerned about how many plastic disposable baggies I've used throughout the years.. stains or not, these are a win for me
I like your "unfair tests". not 100% sure, but I believe you are a pioneer of that. it's one of the things Iike about your reviews. you should promote it - like with a t-shirt (freakin unfair test) or sth else. edit: I like that you mention it's unfair test so it's clear that it was not stated by the company and that makes a big difference.
Can you give us an update in six months or so? Silicone can grow mold (little black spots) when it stays wet a lot, which would seem to be a hazard for these very expensive bags.
One thing you didnt go into much is, How are these with getting food out? Pouring? Also, would these be good for chips? We always get stale chips from the original bags. Or would this be over kill for chips?
if you hate stains I would suggest to never use any kinds of plastic food containers ever. All plastic food containers will stain. Thats like complaining that a charcoal bbq pit puts out smoke.
I surprised he didn't literally say "I chose Wiselly" (wisely) I wanted to see him pop popcorn in the microwave. Maybe he should have turned them inside out before putting them in the dishwasher
I watched this review because I buy Thrive Life freeze dried food, which come in round canisters. I’m looking for a less bulky option for when I go camping or long road trips. It would be nice to throw several ingredients together with some hot broth, in one of these silicone pouches, and let them do their thing while I’m driving.
I bought the Food Bunker this past summer. I really do like them! I like how they stand when I fill them. I like how I can pile them on top of each other in the refrigerator without threat of avalanche ... and the best thing is how they roll up for storage. Cleaning is definitely an annoyance. I can deal with the staining. If I had known that Wiselly was around longer, I probably would've ordered from them instead.
I just use Pyrex (USAmade) glass rectangular containers w/ polyprop. plastic covers. Comes in a set of three that nest into each other for easy storage. As an added feature, one can actual bake in them. Over to table to refigerator to microwave!!
Love your reviews but have to warn you against ever putting hot foods in any air tight container. This will cause spoilage and can make you very sick. Always let food cool before storing in any container
This is an old myth. The United States Food and Drug Administration advises food be placed in covered/airtight containers and refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking, regardless of food temperatures.
@@RadioStaring Putting it away hot won't make you sick, but there is a risk of a hot container cracking if you put it directly in a sub-zero temperature like a freezer. Refrigerator and freezer manufacturers also do not recommend it as it can raise the temperature of other items already in the fridge, bringing them into a non-safe temperature which could cause them to spoil or have bacteria growth. And it is more likely to stain a plastic bag or container. It is always better to let cooked food drop considerably in temperature before refrigerating or freezing them. If it is too hot to handle, or still feels hot to the touch, wait before putting it in. If you have an IR thermometer, wait until the temperature has dropped below 95 °F.
I was looking for a leak proof bag to use for hydrating food when backpacking that can also turn into a hot water bottle at night, and this might just be it! Also, those two products can easily be made at the same manufacturing company or secretly be the same to create competition LOL
I would think the soft silicone would absorb oil and odors from the food, especially with heating it, and eventually smell rancid no matter how much you clean them. Not to mention staining.
@@MimiJoys I do miss things, as I am constantly distracted when I'm on YT, answering the phone/door/demands of my pets/pet husband (joke) and whatever the Crisis of the Day is. Really, there's just too much going on all the time, but Jim White is still a comforting presence and I love his videos.
When I saw these, I was hoping he had Stasher in there too. The stasher have a feel similar to a waterbed. Haven't tried to store things in them yet, but they do appear to have a flat bottom. I didn't get a big enough one for pizza or hot dogs like I should have; those are the two foods we store the most.
Honestly though, even things like glass jars and pyrex and all that stain fairly easy as well. Tomato sauces are just ridiculous at eating through and staining with their acidity. Amazing video though, as usual. Products seem good to me.
Tomato stains plastics like crazy. Even a lot of proteins like from chicken or beef broth will stain plastics after as much as a single use. Something about some proteins getting bound to the plastic molecules. I'd be surprised at glass staining though... ?
@@Dee_Just_Dee Oh yes, a long lived Pyrex container/dish will most certainly get stained after prolonged use and cooking in the oven. I've seen it, thrown them away because I couldn't clean them up, gotten all orange. Mind you, obviously takes a lot longer than plastic.

i want to use these bags too, but im not sure how to wash them without dishwasher after storing meat... like how do i know all the germs and ecoli or whatever is gone after washing?
The food bunker could be selling wisely brand , doing that drop shipping thing. Might explain why it's taking so long for the stuff to get sent out
I went to a warehouse once to pick up a load, and the workers inside were re-packaging made in china products, into made in USA packaging. I couldn't believe it. But I think it happens alot.
I think we all know that 5 week shipping is almost guaranteed to be shipped from china. It doesnt matter how much delay there is. If something is shipping commercially, in country, then it wont take 5 weeks.
@@MissPrissKY if you look at eagle claw snell fish hook packaging it prominently states its american made... then on the back less prominently stated it says hand tied in mexico. which is just funny they sent them to another country to have small line hand tied to hooks
@@treacherousviper Technically speaking, Mexico is in America... North America, to be exact.
@@DonovanCYoung and technically i’m sure you know that isn’t what the “ made in america” is supposed to mean....
Food Bunker seems really suspicious. Their product is almost certainly a clone of some kind.
I'll wait until they appear at Aldi's store. Seems like a lot of these products run through there sometime.
I don’t much from them, but they do come up with stuff you’d never expect from a grocery store

Two 3 litre bags... $52?! That's pretty steep!
Hehe yeah that was my first thought!
Steep? It's effing vertical !!
Well he did pay in Canadian dollars apparently. Everything's steep in Canadian right now. We're paying like $4.50/gal for gasoline and $300k for houses.
@@Dee_Just_Dee wow, I'm surprised you can even get a house for $300k up there. Whenever I am watching the home renovation shows with my wife, they always buying really beat up houses in Canada and they will say it's like a million bucks lol. I always wonder how anyone can afford rent there! I know I'm sure it's in the bigger cities, but still! You all do pay a lot to rent!
@@bradasstv those shows are super set up, btw. Often the homes are already bought and they stage a house hunt afterwards with fake prices
ALWAYS CHECK FOR FOOD SAFETY. As shown in the video, 2 different companies somehow have the the exact same product. One way to check food grade silicone: stretch the product, if the stretch stays clear it's good, if it turns while while stretching, return it. Also, food safe silicone should not have a smell, if it smells like any sort of plastic, return it.
To get food stains out of plastic, I have found that putting the item in direct sunlight for a day or so works really quite well. I'd try the same thing with the bags. If you don't have a sunny window to put them in, put water in them and set them out back until it starts getting dark. (The water's just to keep them from blowing off).
Glad you’re doing the pasta sauce test. Not only do most cheap containers stain, they also can retain the taste of smell.
your cat should get a cameo. I always love seeing Bailey, we should see her roommate
They work but I just can't imagine a scenario where I'd want to use one instead of a regular storage box.
They're more expensive and much harder to clean.🤷♂️
Maybe someone has a specific need.
agree, don't see much reason why a normal plastic container won't do the same job for much less
Different storage options for different storage needs. I freeze meats in storage bags to save space, no way I would use tupperwear for that. Then there is the argument of just using regular ole zip top bags. Well, these reduce plastic waste so thats a win for less plastic going to the landfills.
Agreed. Cleaning would be a pain. Prefer glass containers. Also you cant stack them like you can glass and hard plastic.
I think it is mostly a replacement for those who use plastic "ziplock" bags as a low waste alternative.
@@Infinite_Curiosity00
These roll up, saves a ton of space, but I'm not going to pay that price. I'll use Rubbermaid Containers! 20 for $10.00 in all sizes!
I use Stasher bags (also silicone), and they advised stains can be removed by placing them in sunlight. I wonder if that would work on the Wisely or Food Bunker bags?
I feel we don't get enough Bailey. Those bags are too expensive for me.
Right? When you can get a dozen glass jars for like under 10$
Not enough Bailey indeed.im mysrlf a cat person but Bayley seems as good doggo
@@ЕкатеринаСеренкова They’re all good dawgs bront
There are other similar bags that are way cheaper, js, he just bought like the best kind you can get. I bought a 5 pack for like less than $10 and they work fine, don't leak, don't get damaged, passed allthe tests his have passed, just cheaper and different design, you have to shop around if you're on a budget, that's just how it is. All products come in cheap versions and expensive versions.
@@iwinrar5207 True but glass breaks. I live in a clumsy household and having broken glass around just isn't worth saving a couple bucks. Also having a kitchen so small that only one person can walk through at a time, jars start to take up a lot of space that flexible bags won't.
Rubbermaid and Tupperware also stain with tomato sauce.
It's cool that we are not only getting reviews on competing similar products, but also the companies selling them, with information on the customer service and shipping issues, too. Good work, James!!
While I haven't tried these specific brands, a plus for this type of product is the massive amount of plastic waste you can avoid since you won't be using disposable plastic bags! Definitely a plus for the environment.
I’ve had my bags for almost two years-no stains. One thing that helps-stand the bag up in the sink, fill with hot water, drop in one or two denture tablets and let it soak.
Oh now I have to get dentures first.....
Just kidding hahahahaha, good idea!
It says you can soak your silicone stained cookware in hydrogen peroxide and it will go back to its original color
But silicone would likely pick up the flavor of the peroxide. . .
@@ferociousgumby 3% hydrogen peroxide is a very gentle agent for almost anything. We used it to make tooth paste, cleaning products, etc. You can also use it to clean wound. HP doesn't have any smell.
@@pocky3027 do not use peroxide to clean wounds
Last year I bought a set of silicone bags similar to these except that they had the slider bar closure which I find extremely difficult to open because of arthritic hands. The bags are great for freezer storage and keep things well protected from freezer burn. I think I'll ditch the ones I have and get these, which have an easier opening and closing mechanism. Thanks for this review.
Thanks Miriam for mentioning the zip lock problem. I have fibromyalgia and struggle to close things too. I also drop everything. Thus I need unbreakable and securely closed food storage.
@@usainengland You're welcome!
Food Bunker took forever because they are drop shipped and, obviously, are a clone of Wiselly's bags.
Yup. All too common in this era of Chinese manufacturers being contracted by companies both big and small, and Amazon selling just about anything and everything, no matter who is supplying it. Almost the very moment you put something into production, clones show up. I was watching James' videos about a "Cop Cam" security camera and its clones. I pegged them all as clones of Polaroid's "Cube" action camera.
That must be why they don't sell the larger bags that say "WISELLY" on them.
Yeah, all the red flags were super huge when he showed them, they'r so obvious. Also I bet the item listing wasn't even new, they just copy-pasted over their last item listing for bluetooth earbuds or color changing coffee mugs and changed out the pictures, bet the older reviews are like "took forever to get my coffee mug but it's okay, only it doesn't even change colors". Because these guysa re usually so lazy they just switch all the info for whatever they're selling now and change their brand name to reflect it.
Sometimes they don't even get the whole listing changed and you'll be reading about the silicone bag and suddenly there's part of the description about "these earbuds connect seamless to your phone with bluetooth technology. You will be satisfied with the clear sound..." and you're like wait what product am I looking at again? Many many times I've gone back to old orders to look something up or re-purchase something I liked and the listing is some totally different item.
I never understood ordering things from a drop shipper. Just cut out the middle man and order from aliexpress. That way you aren't supporting crappy dropshippers (although you are still kinda supporting China so its not exactly a big win).
These looks like a pain to wash/dry.
I have similar bags and they're really not, you just pull them inside out, wipe it, rinse it, dry it inside out, then turn it right side out and let the outside dry. It takes 1 second to turn it inside out like any bag. Unless you have an issue with using your hands it's not an issue, and if it is you probably have trouble washing anything. jars and containers have an inside and you can't even turn those inside out for easy access.. and you could still wash these like any container lol your hand can fit inside you know... I've never been able to wash the inside of a jar easily if the opening is too small, I have to put the sponge inside the jar and then use a spoon to scrub it around and then use the spoon to tug the sponge back out of the jar, how is this harder than that BS?
My dishwasher has bottle washer jets. I use those for these. Work great but they do spot up something fierce and need to be hand dried.
It feels like the more acidic the food item is, the more likely it'll stain....
God-forbid you store salsa in these..............................
I got a couple about 2 years ago, silicone zip lock type bags off Amazon.
They're too stiff to put "bigger" items in. They just don't flex the same an plastic freezer bags.
For example, I can't fit bread without smashing the ends of the loaf. But a regular plastic ziplock bag that's not a problem.
Why are you putting bread in something besides the container it came in?
@@blazewolf9912 if I put bread in fridge or freezer in the regular plastic bag that it comes in, it absorbs taste from food around it.
So I usually put it inside a zip lock before storage. I only shop about once a month for two people so I do buy in bulk and store.
@@blazewolf9912 when you bake your own bread, there is no original container to use.
Personally I prefer “Tupperware”-type stuff because I can eat directly out of it instead of pouring the contents from a bag into a secondary container and double my dirty dishes
i was waiting for baileys' tail to show up for the cat food test...

My sister bought some of the ones from Food Bunker in early March. It took more than 7 weeks for the order to get there. Some stains you can get out but the one she had blueberries in were impossible to fully remove the stains.
Great review, James! First, they are way too expensive. Anything with a high acid content will stain the material, period. Try soaking and scrubbing them in hot water with Dawn and bleach. For a much cheaper solution, use disposable/reusable plastic containers such as those made by Glad. When they get stained, throw them away. I never store acidic foods such as tomato sauce in reusable containers unless they are made of glass.
I just wanted to thank you for doing all of these reviews, they're tremendously entertaining, and useful! My girlfriend has written down many products that you've endorsed and decided to purchase them for herself & family. Your content overall is fantastic, love the way you go about the reviews and we look forward to watching videos! We will likely have this product in our covered soon enough!
I think I'll stick to glass jars.
12:40 - BAILEY! Would have been interesting to see if that bag was Bailey proof.
To me, as much as they cost and shouldn’t stain, it still changes absolutely nothing about how useful they are.
I've been looking at silicone bags for years
lol
Me, I prefer the smaller sizes.
I learned years ago to NOT use a dishwasher for silicon items - they always come out in a powdery film.
I handwash & it's fine.
Tip: For any food stain on any plastic or silicon container - put a tissue sheet or 1/2 a papertowel sheet in the container...squirt in a tiny bit of any dish detegent, 1/2 fill with super hot tap water, close up container & shake until bubbly & paper has hit all sides.
Tip out & rinse.
Works on tomato, curry, tumeric, cocoa, fruit stains & takes away any rotting smell of forgotten veg, cheese or meat.
Tissue or paper towel & squirt of soap method also works well on nonstick pans & meat dishes that have been washed but still have an oily film.
Bubble up the hot water by hand & slide the paper up the sides of item etc. Tissue is surprising strong when wet.
They look like catheter bags, lol!
I *knew* they were reminding me of something!
I saw something in the camping section at my local Walmart recently that looks like yet another version of these bags, but branded Ozark Trail. According to the Walmart website it's a package of three and they're 8oz, 16 oz and 32oz for $6.97.
Ozark Trail seems to be a knockoff brand, almost like a Walmart "store brand" sort of thing. A lot of their camping products look like attempts at undercutting Coleman.
I buy their 4-pack of metal straws in 4 colors. It comes with a brush. They work well, and the silicon slides so you can clean it as well as the straw. I've picked up 4 (4x4) packs now because I like them so much. They're 2.97.
Another great "Freakin' Review" ! Thank you as always for doing such a great job, clear, concise and thorough. Keep up the great work !
Where’s the cat??
I freeze milk. Cheaper by the gallon. These might be what I’m looking for.
May I ask... is the milk ok after you defrost it? I've thought of doing that. I always wind up throwing bad milk out even if I buy a small carton. I only use it for cerial.
Glass storage only, yes you might have some casualties but that's life!
That's what we've gone to. Also Lock n' Lock has glass so it's perfect as far am I'm concerned. We also use xlg & giant regular Lock n' Lock's for big storage in the pantry 😉
Agreed.
We found a glass of preserved plums last year, which was at least thirty years old, since my great aunt, who made them, died that long ago.
They were still good.
I don't think you could achieve that with plastic or silicone...
Not sure if you do yet, not finished with the video, but you should try to heat the pasta sauce in the microwave in the bags. That always stains my Tupperware when I reheat cold spaghetti in the microwave.
Oh, nevermind... Already stains without doing what I said lol
After using your tupperware, you should try throwing a paper towel, some water, and soap in your tupperware and close it than shake it. It may remove the stains. Let me know if it works for you.
@@makeithappen4312 awesome. I will try that next time and report back 😉👍
Ah, excellent. The minute you poured water in them, part of me wanted to see what would happen if you threw it against a wall or the ground. I was not disappointed!
I'm really surprised they stain. I freeze spaghetti sauce and other things in vacuum sealed bags with my Food Saver and if I have made large enough bags, I will wash them out and reuse them at least one more time before putting them into my recycle bin and after using about 4 different makes of vacuum sealer rolls, I have not found any of them that stain, even if I have reheated the spaghetti sauce right in the bag in a pot of hot water. Comparing the cost of these silicon bags to the rolls I purchase for my Food Saver, I'll stick with the vacuum sealer. Even the reusable Food Saver zipper vacuum bags, which are not cheap, seem like a bargain next to these.
We Want Bailey!!! In every scene!!!
I. Freakin da first baby freakin unbelievable
Just like other plastic or solid silicone containers I soak mine in a solution of bleach and water or vinegar with baking soda that takes care of stains
If you ever really want to try staining something use hot sauce butter and garlic for like a wing sauce or chili 😅
How can a guy like you NOT be aware that these bags are cheap Chinese junk and both companies are merely importing them into the USA to sell them at a high margin? You can probably get ten original bags for $5 on Ali Express. You never study the background of this nasty junk that you "review" i.e. do paid ads for?
I purchased the Food Bunker 9-piece set and had the same shipping time and experience you had. I'm of mixed opinion about the bags -- the silicone seems rugged enough and I like the concept, but 3 of the bags have at least one clip that will not engage and therefore won't seal the bag. And on one bag, the clip assembly pops off one end of the bag entirely. The bags with functional clips work great. I wish I had seen the Wiselly product first and may try the large size with the heavy-duty clips.
ETA if you look up Wiselly on Amazon, the seller is listed as FoodBunker but the word WISELLY is clearly visible on the product. 🤔
Thanks for reviewing these. After your review I'm also on the fence. I don't mind or care if they stain, that's just cosmetic. I usually use glassware to store stuff but it has plastic lids that I can't microwave so it's tedious. If I could take something from the stove, to the freezer or fridge, and then back out to the zapper the next day, that's a huge time saver. But then, they're so expensive. Guh.
If you go to the BBB website and type in FoodBunker there are a ton of complaints. Pretty much all the same. Ordered and took forever or most still hadn’t gotten theirs after more than a month. I ordered mine in the pink and blue and all I got was all white, like you did. No customer service responses by phone or email. I sent about 3 emails and 4 phone calls. As of today, again their voicemail was full. Couldn’t leave a message. We’ll see if the BBB can help out. I would just say don’t buy FoodBunker no matter how good they are. You’ll never get any help if something goes wrong. I’m hoping I at least can get the colors I want. However, I really like the more colors options of Wiselly!
Almost all plastic ware stains from red sauce - it seems especially likely when heated in microwave.
You are literally testing the same bag. Even though they are from different brands, they are manufactured by the same company in China. That’s why you couldn’t tell them apart. The bigger “wisely” bag is the only thing you had actually manufactured by someone else.
I've used this as an ice pack 😂
I’ve been using one as ice cube storage for a couple months now. It works VERY WELL! I can bang it one the counter to break up the ice without holes getting torn in it. Holds a lot of ice. I’ve even been impressed that those plastic snaps have held up to the freezer.
Another great, informative video! One thing I'll say is the markings on the bags (cups, liters, etc) are made when it's flat; they won't be accurate when bag is filled.
Thanks for the video. It's very informative. I am wondering why. Why would someone want these bags when we have other containers? Is the shape what's important? Regular, reusable, square or round food containers (glass, plastic, silicon, whatever) do everything these bags do. And they don't have convoluted sealing mechanisms like these bags do and they are easier to clean. Is the desire to have the containers be flat when empty while storing super high? These aren't flat like disposable bags. I just can't find a reason to choose these containers over traditional containers that do the same exact thing. If one wants to save the planet from disposable "baggies", there are cheaper, simpler, and more durable options that have been around for decades.
I take fruit, chips and snacks to work every day and I've always been concerned about how many plastic disposable baggies I've used throughout the years.. stains or not, these are a win for me
I like your "unfair tests". not 100% sure, but I believe you are a pioneer of that. it's one of the things Iike about your reviews. you should promote it - like with a t-shirt (freakin unfair test) or sth else. edit: I like that you mention it's unfair test so it's clear that it was not stated by the company and that makes a big difference.
There's a process for dealing with stains in plastic that involves peroxide and ultra-violet light. It might work on silicone, you never know.
Can you give us an update in six months or so? Silicone can grow mold (little black spots) when it stays wet a lot, which would seem to be a hazard for these very expensive bags.
Hey, have you tried the napkin+soap trick for the stained bags? It usually works on plastic containers.
One thing you didnt go into much is, How are these with getting food out? Pouring?
Also, would these be good for chips? We always get stale chips from the original bags. Or would this be over kill for chips?
"leftover chips"? Really. I've never seen such a thing.
I would just buy a good bag clip or sealer. Ive seen him review a couple on his channel. The sealing sticks look good. I want to get some myself.
For a fraction of the price I can get a lot of reusable food containers that stack.
if you hate stains I would suggest to never use any kinds of plastic food containers ever. All plastic food containers will stain. Thats like complaining that a charcoal bbq pit puts out smoke.
I surprised he didn't literally say "I chose Wiselly" (wisely)
I wanted to see him pop popcorn in the microwave. Maybe he should have turned them inside out before putting them in the dishwasher
The trick with tomato sauce is to oil the inside before filling... same with any plastic storage product
Can you imagine playing water balloons with those? Ouch! 🤕
I watched this review because I buy Thrive Life freeze dried food, which come in round canisters. I’m looking for a less bulky option for when I go camping or long road trips. It would be nice to throw several ingredients together with some hot broth, in one of these silicone pouches, and let them do their thing while I’m driving.
lol all "permanent storage containers" stain, unless they are glass.....then they break.
I bought the Food Bunker this past summer. I really do like them! I like how they stand when I fill them. I like how I can pile them on top of each other in the refrigerator without threat of avalanche ... and the best thing is how they roll up for storage. Cleaning is definitely an annoyance. I can deal with the staining. If I had known that Wiselly was around longer, I probably would've ordered from them instead.
Going to the product page. Holy sh**. Those are dam expensive. 43$ for 2. Wow
Definitely not cheap.
@@Freakinreviews say so.
For that price, I can get 8, 50ft rolls of vacuum bags for my Food Saver. As a single guy, that is enough to last me at least 2 years. :)
I just use Pyrex (USAmade) glass rectangular containers w/ polyprop. plastic covers. Comes in a set of three that nest into each other for easy storage. As an added feature, one can actual bake in them. Over to table to refigerator to microwave!!
Really, who cares about staining? It isn't a fashion show.
Love your reviews but have to warn you against ever putting hot foods in any air tight container. This will cause spoilage and can make you very sick. Always let food cool before storing in any container
Not to mention that putting the food in hot, or heating the food in these bags, is an almost certain way to stain them.
This is an old myth. The United States Food and Drug Administration advises food be placed in covered/airtight containers and refrigerated within 2 hours of cooking, regardless of food temperatures.
@@RadioStaring Putting it away hot won't make you sick, but there is a risk of a hot container cracking if you put it directly in a sub-zero temperature like a freezer. Refrigerator and freezer manufacturers also do not recommend it as it can raise the temperature of other items already in the fridge, bringing them into a non-safe temperature which could cause them to spoil or have bacteria growth. And it is more likely to stain a plastic bag or container.
It is always better to let cooked food drop considerably in temperature before refrigerating or freezing them. If it is too hot to handle, or still feels hot to the touch, wait before putting it in. If you have an IR thermometer, wait until the temperature has dropped below 95 °F.
Actually that's how canned food work, so sorry incorrect statement
@@FuNiOnZ2 I am a biologist, so is a no.
I was looking for a leak proof bag to use for hydrating food when backpacking that can also turn into a hot water bottle at night, and this might just be it!
Also, those two products can easily be made at the same manufacturing company or secretly be the same to create competition LOL
this might be a "me" thing. but, would you want to use that bag for human food after storing pet food in it?
Hello from N. Nevada. I wonder if they would work for camping? Interesting. Thank you for the wonderful content. Stay safe....
i think they would work great for camping
I dont mind using these silicone bags, but they are sooo freaking hard to clean well. They need to be able to fold inside out.
I would think the soft silicone would absorb oil and odors from the food, especially with heating it, and eventually smell rancid no matter how much you clean them. Not to mention staining.
He showed you they could be turned inside out to clean.
@@MimiJoys I do miss things, as I am constantly distracted when I'm on YT, answering the phone/door/demands of my pets/pet husband (joke) and whatever the Crisis of the Day is. Really, there's just too much going on all the time, but Jim White is still a comforting presence and I love his videos.
I'm glad I waited for your review. I think I'll pass. Thanks!
Should have microwaved the pasta sauce ones.
Is it unfair of me to conclude that ALL the benefits of the bags were completely nullified by the staining they’re subject to?
No, it just means Pyrex is a better fit for you.
I've seen some other bags kinda similar but under the name Stasher. Can you review those too?
When I saw these, I was hoping he had Stasher in there too. The stasher have a feel similar to a waterbed. Haven't tried to store things in them yet, but they do appear to have a flat bottom. I didn't get a big enough one for pizza or hot dogs like I should have; those are the two foods we store the most.
Baking soda or distilled vinegar should take the stains out.
Tip: If only part full, squeeze out a much of the air as you can to stop the food oxidizing or developing condensation.
I was wondering why he wasn’t squeezing them. it bothered me so much lolol
Honestly though, even things like glass jars and pyrex and all that stain fairly easy as well. Tomato sauces are just ridiculous at eating through and staining with their acidity. Amazing video though, as usual. Products seem good to me.
Tomato stains plastics like crazy. Even a lot of proteins like from chicken or beef broth will stain plastics after as much as a single use. Something about some proteins getting bound to the plastic molecules. I'd be surprised at glass staining though... ?
@@Dee_Just_Dee Oh yes, a long lived Pyrex container/dish will most certainly get stained after prolonged use and cooking in the oven. I've seen it, thrown them away because I couldn't clean them up, gotten all orange. Mind you, obviously takes a lot longer than plastic.
Just got off work, showered now in bed. Then I see what I always love seeing, that “Freakin’ Reviews” in my notifications. Gonna watch you before I go to sleep. It’s 10:30 pm 🕥 here in Alabama.

Vivian Tries has done some reviews on those.
these things are too expensive 99cent containers exist
I tried the Stasher silicon brand and they have the same issue. Hard to clean and stained :(
I feel like it's a universal thing with plastics. I have had the same issue with tupperware/rubbermaid containers for decades.
I just bought one to try. Thanks for the heads up. I like the feel of it; hopefully it's easy to close! It's not clips like these.
Multi-Use plastic bag comes shipped in a single use plastic bag.
Just went to www.wiselly.net and they list Food Bunker bags are their website. Canadian company. Two names for the same product in two countries: Canada and the US?
