Wrap-And-Mat Food Pouch and Eating Mat Review

Wrap-And-Mat Food Pouch and Eating Mat
Average Reviews:

This was a product I really wanted to like. It's a wonderful idea but didn't work out quite so well in real life. The wrap mat does keep the sandwich fresh but doesn't protect it from the other items floating in my son's lunchbox, such as milk or apples.
It needs to be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and left to air dry - which means you can't wash it at the last minute. In a pinch, just wipe down the plastic liner. I did try machine washing and drying, with unsuccessful results. (For those of you who want to know what happened, the plastic shrinks and warps.)
If I were to redesign this product, I would try a laminated fabric used for high-quality cloth-diaper covers. This would make the product machine washable and more durable overall.
Meanwhile, I've gone back to the plastic sandwich box, and it's working out just fine. BTW, no one should be using plastic bags for sandwiches anymore...

Entirely Earth friendly, the Wrap And Mat serves as both a food wrapper and a clean surface for eating school lunches, pic-nics, or office lunches. Meant to replace landfill-clogging plastic baggies, the Wrap And Mat is reusable. A Velcro closure keeps contents securely pouched. When opened, the Mat measures 13 by 13 inches, so there's plenty of room to lay out an entree and sides, keeping everything together on a clean surface. Patented with a plastic liner inside, the Wrap cleans up completely without any fabric weave or pores that can harvest bacteria. Wash the Wrap And Mat easily and quickly at home in the sink with the dishes and let it air dry.

The package insert that came with mine says it can accommodate only standard sized eggs: 68g or 6cm maximum (end to end). Larger eggs fit in the cavities narrow end down, but you cannot put the cover on and "lock" it without breaking them.

Stelton Bread Bag Review

I've tried bamboo and stainless steel bread boxes before. This one is by far the best. It can store 1-2 one-pound artisan bread depending on shape. Took out one star because the concealed magnets can only loosely close the bag. Overall a good product.

High quality Designer Bread Bag. Good bread deserves to be stored and served in the best, most appealing way. This bread bag is made of high-quality, certified organic Duck cotton insulated with felt. In addition to storing bread, it also folds down to become an eye-catching, imaginative bread basket that can vary in size. The concealed magnets close the bag to turn it into an elegant "breadbox". Just shut the edges of the bag on the magnets to keep bread fresh and crisp for a long time.

The bag exceeded my expectations for keeping artisan baguettes fresher longer. Only disappointment: shipping charges were as much as the bag itself--thus doubling the cost.

It does keep bread from turning stale but it is not easy to clean as it is not machine washable. Have to rinse it with vinegar and water and then air dry it. I am too busy and don't have time for this. If you neglect to wash it any bread you put in the bag molds in no time.

Dalla Piazza Lustro Bread Bag keeps baguettes and artisan breads fresh from 3 to 5 days. The special liner allows air to circulate, but retains moisture. Suspend the bag to allow air to circulate around the bag.

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag Review

Best Manufacturers Reusable Bread Storage Bag
Average Reviews:

I purchased this item based on a review at cooksillustrated-dot-com (search for keyword "retrogradation" if you want to know more). Cooksillustrated thought this product was the best of the lot they tested and said it'd keep homemade bread crusts crisp and the loaf fresh for up to three days. The claim that crusts would stay crisp especially interested me.
The bag doesn't work miracles and disappointingly, doesn't keep crusts crisp. Compared to leaving my homemade or store-bought artisanal bread in a leaky plastic box, there was a small but definite improvement in quality on day one after baking/purchasing, but the crusts are definitely not crisp. By day three (just as the cooks illustrated article says) you need to freeze the bread and reheat it.
It's somewhat hard to clean b/c there are all sorts of folds in which crumbs can be trapped. You're supposed to be able to put it in the washing machine or dishwasher. Mine survived the washing machine (in a lingerie bag), but the moisture trapped between the plastic bag and the cloth bag is hard to get rid of (hair dryer time).
If your family is like mine, polishing off your homemade bread within a day or two of baking, this bag will help maintain freshness. I give it 3.5 stars for performance (on day one after baking, 4 stars for freshness, but 0 on the crisp crust promise) and 2 stars for being wildly overpriced (see my image in the customer image gallery).

The Best solution for the kitchen\'is the philosophy that led to the pioneering of the Fresh Bread Bag.The Bag keeps bread machine loaves andrustic bakery loaves fresh and fragrant and bagels just the right texture.It is also great for bulk-purchased flour, grains and pasta.Using the Best Fresh Bread Bag is a "Green" solution that reduces dependence on plastic bags, while reducing waste and recycling efforts.A practical solution from the wide easy-access opening to the longer loaf size.When not in use, the bag folds down smaller than a breadbox.Constructed of pre-shrunk and colorfast 7.5-ounce twill cotton/polyester in a natural-color canvas with thick-gauge polyethylene plastic lining for air-tightness.The combined strength of these two layers make the Best Fred Bread Bag reusable for years.Machine washable.
