I rarely have a problem with my tilia but on the occasion when I've had
a problem with juices or such, it was if I've sized the bag too small. I
like to use extra large sizes to begin with as I wash and reuse them. So
as i cut them open and they get smaller, I still have something to work
with. I don'usually bother washing/reusing the meat bags though. I might
at times if it isn't greasy or horrible, but rare.
