I have not used for freezing food but think they would work well. They are a heavier plastic than some and quite airtight. 2oz is still quite small.

I don't know about long term freezing, but the most popular recipe (on the back of the box) calls for a frozen "log" of wafers and whipped cream, and it is all frozen. So, short term, they should be fine. The real problem is that big, thin wafers may break. It doesn't seem to matter, though, since it is only a few.

You need to use the base to freeze them - they wouldn't stand up on their own. But it doesn't take up much freezer space.

I've had mine a few months. I wash them and put them right back in the freezer until I need them again. Sometimes they are in the freezer for weeks between uses. So far no problems.

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.

Absolutely you can freeze the filled pouches. My friend would make big batches that we would split and freeze. When defrosting you have two options - number one - when traveling you can just let it slowly defrost or defrost in a hot water bath then use the spout to feed baby, option two - at home we would cut the top off of the pouch empty it into a bowl and defrost contents in the microwave. Love this product! (Consider using the spoon attachment when traveling - so convenient)

We keep up to 4 weeks in the freezer. It may keep fresh up to 2month, or even longer but we never went that long. Each batch of custom blended home prepared food tastes a little different. At times, the baby does not like the taste, or one of the ingredients makes the baby throw up. It may be better to make small batches (just to be on the safe side) so you don't waste prepared food after laborious processing.

Haven't used it to freeze anything, but have used it in microwave to reheat lasagne previously baked in it. Dishwasher safe. My main use is for bread and it's wonderful for that.

I made banana bread and froze them for a few weeks. They were in a freezer bag. They were fine!

They have been safe in a freezer as longas you leave space at top. They work okay in micro wave but I use plastic wrap instead of lid because lids warp with heat. Have never tried to use in oven

I have not used mine in the freezer since they have a tendency to crack on the bottom. Once they crack they do not work but use E6000 glue on the crack to once more seal from air getting into them.

I have not used them in the freezer, but the bags are very sturdy. It is always possible that they will spring a leak. I would say it is at least worth a try... the only thing you have to lose is having to wash your slow cooker.

They work great for freezing; that's mostly what I use them for. I have reused a few bags for dry goods, a couple times, with no issues yet. Most of my bags are used for uncooked foods, and I have not reused those. So far the system has worked well, with no apparent problems.

yes, they freeze very well. I buy them by the case and keep out a few pkgs. and freeze the rest.

These are made for the microwave and work like stream and cook you buy in freezer section at store. They have a list of cooking times for foods on the bags. great for putting up fresh veggies or left overs.

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

Yes they are. I bought them to make meals to freeze for my son who lives on his own, works and attends college, they have been great for this.
