can you freeze mylar bags?

I have had no problem with freezing in Mylar. Similar to vac-n-seal. I also vac pack the Mylar.

Sure. They will work better than regular freezer bags if they are sealed correctly.

I'm not sure about the "best" way. Some recommend refrigerating, but I figured that wasn't needed until after the bag was opened, so that's what I do. They only last a month or so. Freezing is probably good for longer periods. I just store the new bags in the pantry.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

Mylar bags is the way to go if you want an extended shelf life. Vacuum bags are good but can't compare to the shelf life of Mylar.

Don't know. I tossed the bag a while ago (because I freeze them until used). Sorry.

it is vacuum packed and i have never been able to keep these long enough to know if it would freeze, but one would think that 'yes' the product could be frozen after opening

Hello, All Mylar bags must be heat-sealed to be effective. There are a few ways of doing this but I think the most common is to simply use a household iron. I have also heard of using a hair iron, which should work as long as it gets hot enough. The recommended sealing temperature is 400 degrees. They sell impulse sealers that work well but are not really worth it unless you plan on sealing a lot of bags. We usually recommend you rotate your food supply every year or two by actually using it. However, when properly sealed, low moisture food like you are storing can stay fresh indefinitely as it is protected from oxidation, bugs, light, mold, and oxygen dependent organisms. If you plan on extended storage, be sure to use quality American Mylar as small holes in the foil layer can let oxygen in whether the bag has been punctured or not, no matter how thick the entire laminate material is. A Long-Term Food Storage Guide is included with PackFresh products and you are always welcome to send us your questions as well. Have a great day!

Yes, I freeze bread, rolls, pies, anything in them. I also put them in ziploc bags and everything comes out fresh. Take a hangar and when you use a bag, clip it to the hangar to re-use. I re-use all my bags but I clip them on hangars so I know that they are re-usable (nothing spilt in them etc.) I have been using for several years and have not been disappointed.

I don't know if you can freeze it or not , I had this bucket for a while just sitting on my shelf The lid to the bucket makes a very tight seal when you put it back on , its a resealable lid This is my first bucket so I can't say long term but I think it will keep for a good while in the bucket I wonder also if you could also vacuum pack some in individual bags to keep it fresh. I am just gonna keep in the bucket this time to see how it goes

You could freeze bags to have them for the weekend. You would just have to smack the bag on the ground a bit just like any bag of ice to break them up.

Yes, they can be used for freezer. However, they are not very thick so double bagging would be good and they are NOT "zipper" type bags. I am so glad to be able to find these because I have always had so many uses for just a plain quart size bag WITHOUT all the zipping parts. I was NOT able to buy plain baggies anywhere until I found them here-so I stocked up. Definitely would buy again and again as long as they are available!

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

You can, however you will need to build a frame to stretch the mylar around. you can youtube/google videos of how to do this properly to get rid of wrinkles and imperfections.

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that but it is not really necessary since they are dried out and not prone to mold, etc. I have had the same bag for over a year and they are totally fine and just as fresh as when I got them. I just close it up really well and then stick the sack into another bag and keep that closed up good also. That's all you need to do.

Well, I've never tried to do that, but most similar snack food bags are made of Mylar or some other sort of synthetic material, so it may be possible. I didn't notice anything in the manual advising against it.

Not sure...I haven't used them in the freezer, but they are as heavy as most freezer bags. Of course they have a typical bread tie and not a seal.

I have filled mine with a mixture of water, salt, and rubbing alcohol. This way the water can't freeze all of the way and the ice is flexible. After use, I just put it back in the freezer for the next use. The freezing process doesn't seem to hurt the liner of the bag, because it has not leaked at all.
