I want to use these to seal my homemade cabbage kimchee inside a large plastic box container in the icebox...okay?

The manufacturer says the big bags are food safe but should not be used in the microwave. The seal is very sturdy and dependable. If you are putting the plastic box into the bag, it should work fine as an extra layer of protection. If you are putting the kimchee in the bag and then into the box, I wonder if it wouldn't be more convenient to use several one-gallon sized freezer bags. Good luck!

I've not used them that way, but seems like it would work. You could always get a mini bottle from a grocery store and try it before you go for the great bargain on the big A. Or call a Hawaiian ice shop and ask them what they use. Cheers

I have just used it for wrapping cold to put in the freezer. I would be somewhat cautious, since it has a waxy substance for waterproofing.

They are waxy, so theoretically they should, but I'm not sure all of the edges are sealed enough that I would trust the liquid would stay inside.

Don't know. I only use them for dry food to keep the ants out in the summer. The fridge might affect the seal.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

I wouldn't recommend it. The coating seems more like a polyurethane glaze and, unless it was submerged in the stuff, I doubt that the metal is impervious to the cold and moisture in a freezer. I would recommend something made of rubber, coated with an epoxy substance or a freezer-suitable plastic for such use.

They are very good to use as canisters. I would not put them in the freezer.

Hello JeanneB, I have not tried what you are asking about, but from what I have read so far, as long as the food in the container does not thaw when you remove it from the Freezer, it should be OK to re-seal and re-freeze for later use. I believe that since you have opened the food to new air and contaminates, the shelf life will have been compromised, but if you use the food up within a reasonably short amount of time, you should be fine. The FoodSaver sealer is very handy for re-sealing those foods that you didn't use all of.

Yes....I just popped the whole container in a freezer....use ice cream scoop to use as needed

Yes, I think so. But you can save your used empty plastic cases for groceries - round boxes without or better with waterproof upper cap. If the dimension is roughly the same, you can store your own boxes in your freezer. Proven myself - this machine works with my own ice molds perfectly.

Hi Kay, I just went and shoved one in a beer bottle. It fits in with about 1/2 inch sticking out the top. I'm not sure what you are planning on using these for. But they are very tapered, so they wouldn't seal something completely for long term. I used them for making decorative wine bottle stoppers. The kind you us for the short term after opening a bottle of wine. They worked great for that.Regards,Shelley

As long as you only fill them up halfway and stack them upright to store they worked fine for me. Do not microwave them to thaw or try to take the lid off while frozen unless you want a mess. They will crack if you handle them too much before thawing. For added security, I placed a rubber band around them while freezing and also in the lunch kit to ensure they didn't leak, and they never did. They worked just fine for me!

I like Ball brand wide-mouth and regular size plastic caps for sealing mason jars. I use them to store leftovers in fridge as well as for freezing. They work well and i haven't noticed any leaking. Be sure to allow an inch headspace when freezing foods. They are NOT to be used for water bath or pressure canning.

Yes, you just need to apply them BEFORE they are frozen. I labeled the freezer blocks (ice packs) for lunchboxes and they work fine. As long as they are stuck on before the item gets wet or frozen they work!

Yes they can. The containers have 'imprints' so that they fit together whether you use the ice pack or not.

No, I wouldn't. You would get freezer burn. They are not thick enough. You should use freezer paper. It is thicker and has a coating on the one side so food wouldn't stick.
