Prevent freezer burn and make sure your hard work doesn’t go to waste with challah bags!
Did you know that challah bags (aka 2-gallon bags) fit a 9- x 13-inch pan perfectly? This method will ensure that your hard work doesn’t go to waste. The bags will help prevent freezer burn or the transfer of smells/taste from item to item in your freezer (think meat and cookies).
Label the front of the pan so that once you open the freezer you will find what you need easily.

Seriously? Over $7 per box?
Did you know that these are less than $2 in the local stores?
I do the same thing with fruit bags. I always have a roll handy, which I pick up at any grocery store. Nobody minds selling me a roll. I use a bag tie to secure it.
They are also great for no mess salad mixing. Prepare all your salad ingredients in the bag, add dressing when you’re ready, seal and shake well. Perfectly dressed salad and no mess!
I use it when I want to marinate veggies before roasting/grilling. Dump all the cut up veggies drizzle olive oil and spices and put in fridge to marinate. No mess…
