How to these bags perform in terms of moisture build up? The bags I currently use seem to accumulate moisture quickly. I bake 1.5 lb sourdoughs.

I have not experienced any moisture build up with these bags, used for 1.5 lb plain loaves. Once in the bag, each loaf is usually stored in my microwave (but never when it has residual warmth) for extra protection from air & light. The bags seem to do a great job.

I haven't had any moisture build up. I live in the tropics where it is warm...bread will get moldy after several days...but no actual moisture in the bag.

I bake a 2 lb. loaf. Don't know if that would make a difference. I make sure my loaf is completely cool before bagging; otherwise there will be moisture.

I haven't had any moisture build up with these bags. Very good bags. I use them for 1.5 lb loaves and 2.0 lb loaves and no problem.

They work great in mine. We have a Food Saver, that we have been using then with, and would purchase them again. Sometimes have to double seal with very moist food, but had to do that with Food Saver bags also.

Typically when bags get wet, you have to dry them quickly. I do this by putting them on a cookie sheet and putting them in a 170 degree oven for an hour. Once dry, put the bags to use. The pounding will eventually knock the mold off. That's really all you can do. Hope this helps.

These bags are not thick like some freezer bags, but I freeze bread in them every week. I wouldn't freeze it for long periods if time, but it works fine for a week or so .

yes my bags say use by 9-13-15 so that's more than efficient for us. I leave them in the product box and take out a bag as needed [4 to a box]. Remember this is a hearty oat and bigger flakes than processed instant etc. They seem to go quick though with breakfast, cookies and in bread making. very satisifed with this product.

I use these bags AT THE SUPERMARKET in order to avoid using plastic bags, When I come home they go right into the refrigerator. For things that require maintaining their moisture, then you do need to use a plastic bag, or I also wrap them in a kitchen cloth towel that I have moistened. Hope this helps.

I bought this Tuscany canister set, as well as the bread box in mid January. I haven't had any moisture problems. I live in northern Maine and heat with wood so the air in my house is dry and I use a humidifier. Let suggestion would be to check the humidity level in your house.

I have ordered these bags twice and am very pleased with them. I cannot speak to any other than those I've used but cannot imagine them differing. Regarding odors, I notice no odor at all, and I have a very sensitive "sniffer". (lol). I use them for home-made bread, take them to others, freeze, thaw, have had no problems. I keep them ready to re-order in my Amazon account as I use them nearly daily!

Sorry - I can't say for sure. I just got these and emptied what little was left of 5-pound bag into large canister. I don't use that much flour, so no plans to buy new bag soon. Wish I could be of more help. You might ask manufacturer.

Sorry Wendy. I do the same as the other respondent. The bags are huge and I always put them in airtight containers. I have a small bag from a local Amish bulk store and the ingredients on that label are the same as was previously mentioned in the other response.

I would not purchase again because they are pricey and do not seem to work well with liquid. I tried to fill a bag with some homemade soup and it tore whilst I was suctioning, moreover, I never managed to get all the air out of the second bag. The one I used for some cookies worked well, but I have not reused them so could not say. Hope this helps!

The bags are made of a loosely woven cotton so they would not maintain a humid environment, if that is what you're looking for. I use them to hold potatoes in my pantry where I don't want them to maintain humidity.

I have been putting them into ziplock sandwich bags and then putting the sandwich bags back into the paper bag. I then put the whole thing in a deep freezer. You will get about 35 sandwich bags full out of your 50 lb bag. I only use 1/2 cup a day, so I get maybe 6 months out of a 50 lb bag. Been doing it for years without any problems. Sorry, I'm not sure about the jars. Any moisture in the form of humidity will cause problems.

That's an excellent question. As I look at my composter, it seems that the bags are not breaking down. I have added more moisture and a little dirt to see if that would accelerate the breakdown, but short answer for now is "no."

I just added some water to that bag and then made sure it was sealed well. They stayed moist for months.

Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag. Mine lasted through about 3 seasons and I stored the unused ones in a cool, dark place. I live in Alaska, so that wasn't hard. They seem to hold their moisture well, but shrink considerably if allowed to dry out, which I avoid. My neighbor bought some and they started to mold and then crumble and fall apart after a year or so. I'm guessing she didn't keep them in a cool enough place. So, I'd say with proper care they should last as long as 4 seasons. They do work very well and I assume it is because they don't dry out quickly. Also, I use a gallon ziplock as a mini-greenhouse and just blow a breath (CO2) into the bag once a day or so. Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag.
