Has anyone used this specifically for their chest freezer? Is it durable enough to be stored in the freezer? Does/did it crack?

Yes...definitely. That's where I use mine and I haven't had any problems with it.

I haven't put it in the freezer, but it is very very durable. It will only crack after years of use.

I use three of them in my freezer. Heavy, but handy to lift onto the counter. They stay somewhat organized. My ice cube trays do not fit into them, so the last quarter is open. I have been using them for a long time and none have cracked. You do lose a bit of space due to the sloped sides, but worth it, I think.

I stored mine in the freezer for about a week before I used it, but only because I wasn't ready to use it right away. Before that it lived on my counter for a few days, but still worked awesome. Sorry this isn't a more straight forward answer!

R.StoneAs far as I can tell these are Freezer Bags and they work well for our family. I buy storage bags which are not as thick as these and not as durable either. It is seldom that we put the item in the bag without wrapping it in either foil, wax paper or plastic film. That last step eliminates most of any freezer burn and have not had any so far. Just out of curiosity, why do you ask? John

I have not tried it like that, but I don't see why not, as long as you didn't fill it to full, and it didn't freeze to the bottom of your freezer. I am using mine right now, as I have a frozen shoulder, but I have ice in it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It is a really nice bag.

I haven't done it, but my best guess is you shouldn't freeze it. The plastic is very hard and inflexible, and freezing water expands. Having said that, I should add that I've dropped mine (full and empty) several times onto hard surfaces without damage.

Hey, I've had it just over a year. I use it maybe once a month or two, since I make a big batch and freeze them. It still works like new, no problems, but I can't say how it would do under harder use. The only concern I would have is the durability of the coating, but it's been fine so far.

I have it sitting on a part of my chest deep freezer that covers the compressor and acts like a shelf. It is not a hanging basket. It worked out good.

This is a very good question and one I considered do to where I live (Northern Maine). The plastic is somewhat fragile and in freezing temps, depending on the angle and height from which you may hang it, it could crack. I mount mine on 2 cinder blocks, up off the ground and use a heater (designed for keeping poultry waterer's) from freezing. When it gets to 15 and below, even the heater doesn't help. I do have a small hot plate in the barn for keeping my water warm for in sub-freezing temps. But to answer your basic question, yes, it could chip or shatter.

Most of the time, mine seem to crack when they freeze too fast. I use hot water to fill molds, then place the molds into a small soft cooler which is then closed and placed into the freezer. The combination of the hot water and extra insulation slows down the freezing process. The results wont be perfect, but it vastly improved the quality of my ice spheres.

I have used it in the deep freeze and left it in there for months and never had a freezing problem,my freezer is set to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

Yes. It's very sturdy. I have it in my cabinet to store Ziplock bags and aluminum foil. But yes, it would definitely fit in your freezer -- if you have a freezer on top of your icebox. The side-by-side freezer/refrigerators may be too small.

yes to both questions. you can use this low price unit to convert a chest type freezer into a very economical fridge. i love it.

Having had this happen recently when the contents of my freezer skidded out (flexing shelf), I am happy to report that these items did NOT break. The Rubbermaid product (red lid) cracked. These Stor-keeper items are really high quality and last for years. Freezing DOES NOT make the plastic rigid. I saw some criticism with the lid seal. I have found that these seal perfectly, and I've not had any problems.

T/here are no specifications in the text. I guess I would not use it in the freezer as I am convinced it would devastate the instrument. Now if you want to keep tabs on humidity and temp in your fridge. I would imagine it would handle that ok.

It actually depends on your freezer. I put mine in the freezer compartment of our side-by-side refrigerator and it freezes in a few hours. Our chest freezer doesn't work as fast. That's why I have at least two of these coolers on hand so while one is freezing, I can use the other one. Good Luck.

we used to store for days in the freezer with no problem. The only issue we have is that they are pretty fragile - one drop on the floor and they will be done. I have re-ordered though overall satisfied.

I haven't tried in the freezer but it feels if you waited for it to cool it'd be fine. As for the lid I'd recommend putting plastic wrap directly on top of the good then the lid just as an added precaution. My dogs have tried getting the lid off but haven't been able to so its pretty tight.
