Can you use these in the freezer, without any other type of seal?

for a short time, not for serious freezing, the seal is good but not airtight

I have had no issue using them in the freezer for short periods of time. The seal is pretty tight. Long term like with any type container frost builds up.

Yes, though I wouldn't leave them in a freezer as the plastic may become brittle & break.

I probably would not freeze them. They are pretty thin and don't appear to be designed for the freezer. They have a similar thickness to a wine glass at the top.

I would think they would freeze well. I used them fairly quickly, so I didn't have to freeze them. I will tell you they were not all intact when they arrived. It didn't matter for my purposes, but just saying.

It is my understanding these containers are intended for dry storage - beans, flour,pasta, sugar, etc. I don't recall reading anything about freezer use.

YES, they can. I put a packet in the freezer and held it there for two days, then let it thaw, then repeated the process. No leaks! Important to me because I carry packets in my off road vehicle in freezing temps. I needed confidence that the H2O I kept for just in case would be usable despite several freezing / thawing cycles.

Yes, you can put them in the freezer, however...wait until the contents thaws, if you try to force it, they may crack, break off a corner. They also do not survive being dropped on the floor very well.Hope that helps, other than that I love using them. I like squares rather that round containers for stacking.

Yes, I believe they are safe for the freezer, but that's only my experience. I can't guarantee this.

I actually haven't tried freezing these, but I imagine, since they are coated, they would do well in the freezer, and wouldn't pose a problem with moisture as the breads defrosted. Good luck, I hope it works out well!

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.

I have never tried to put them in the freezer, but as they don't tightly, I wouldn't try it.

Yes, they are air tight. Definitely fridge. I guess you could put them in the freezer.

I think they would be OK if they are airtight. Mine have been fine on the shelf as long as they are unopened, so I haven't frozen them. They get sticky if left exposed to the air.

Angela - We have used these in the freezer without issue. They've been a good product for our family.

They work great for ice cream, so I don't see why not! They're not really sealed, though, so freezer burn might be a problem.

I don't see why not. As long as you make sure to get all the air out, I would think you could freeze meat in them.

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.
