I purchased these bags to freeze leftover soups and stews. After i finally was able to separate the sides from one another to open, and then figure out how to seal (must follow arrows on bar) on a trial with water one of them leaked. I checked the seal and it was in p,ace, but water still dripped out. Since then, I have not used. I havent decided if I will use for dry only or return. The seal is veru awkward.

Incredible quality. Really durable and no smell after soapy water wash.
