Posted on December 29 2021
Tired of cling wrap, plastic bags, and mismatched container lids dictating your life? There is yet hope! The ONGROK reusable silicone storage bags may be used for thousands of different things. But how does an ONGROK Bag fit into your daily routine, and is it truly safer than plastic? Find out by reading the blog and discover the variety of ways you can use your silicone storage bag!
Food Storage
Let's begin with the basics. ONGROK silicone storage bags are most renowned for their capacity to keep and store food, since they're leak-proof, sturdy, freezer safe, and won't transfer any additional flavors or colors to your meal. They're composed of BPA-free, non-toxic silicone that's perfectly safe to use with food, as we noted above, so they're our go-to for leftovers or food storage
Meal Prepping
ONGROK silicone storage bags help decrease both food waste and plastic waste that can occur from meal preparing, whether it's through storing leftovers in the fridge or freezing your meals ahead of time for the entire week.
With three different sizes to choose from, there's always a solution for your next meal! Additionally, freezing meals and leftovers may help you decrease food waste while also making mealtimes easier, making this a win-win situation for both you and the environment.
Sous-Vide
Sous-vide is a cooking process in which food is sealed in a pouch or jar and cooked in a water bath for a longer period at a precise temperature. It's great for vegetables, seafood, meats, hollandaise sauce, and more!
However, the majority of consumers utilize single-use plastic Ziploc bags with their sous-vide devices, making them less eco-friendly. All ONGROK silicone storage bags are sous-vide compatible, thanks to silicone's high heat capacity, making it easier than ever to explore this culinary method.

Marinating
Seasoning is the foundation of delicious cuisine, and marinations are one of the simplest methods to do it! Simply, marinating is the process of allowing food to soak up a sauce before cooking it. We usually use single-use plastic bags for this, but they are prone to leaks and spills, causing a major mess in the kitchen.
You may safely and quickly marinate your steak, poultry, fish, or vegetables for optimum taste by using robust, long-lasting silicone bags that won't transfer flavor to your meal!
Microwave
Microwaves have revolutionized the way we cook, yet recent research has revealed that microwaving plastics can leak harmful chemicals into our food, with several long-term detrimental health effects being investigated.
Unlike plastic, silicone is completely safe to microwave for you and your family, and will not leak toxins or tastes when reheated. These bags make dinner a whole lot easier, whether you're defrosting leftovers or simply reheating a delicious soup you stored in the fridge.
Oven
ONGROK silicone storage bags are also oven-safe up to 450°F (230°C), making it ideal for use in a full-size oven or a counter-top toaster oven, and it can be thrown in the dishwasher after use for quick cleanup.
Traveling
ONGROK silicone storage bags are fantastic for cooking, but they are also fantastic for living on the move! They're the ideal choice for traveling or going about your day with toiletries or cosmetics because they're 100% leak-proof, incredibly durable, and see-through.
