Are these sturdy enough to use in the freezer?

Very thick and sturdy. I use them everywhere. Haven't used them in the freezer, but don't know why not.

My thought is, the longer plastic is frozen the more brittle or fragile it can become. It should work for quite a spell as long as there is no abuse to the basket. You ever have food frozen in a plastic container and drop it? Therefore, if you fill your basket full, take it out and let it hit the floor with that weight, you could more than likely say good bye to the basket. Keeping that in mind, they should work just fine.

I have used the same ones in the freezer for over 5 years and they stand up great.

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

I've never tried putting them in the freezer, so unfortunately, I can't answer your question. I've read over the bottle insert and it mentions nothing about freezing, so I don't think I'd attempt it.

Yes, you can. I use them on freezer bags and plastic containers in which I store leftovers in the freezer.

I don't know what kind of freezer you have. My guess is these are not intended for use in a freezer.

I have not put them in the freezer, but they are super sturdy. I wouldn't trust the newer ones with the curve thru the glass, got those last time and find them way chinsier and they leak. Love the good old classic evenflos!

I haven't used mine in the freezer but would if I needed to. Like any plastic container, if it has been in the freezer and it falls to the floor, I imagine it would break into pieces. I am assuming you want to sort packages into it and I think it would be great for that.

I have used them to freeze leftovers. As long as there is enough room left for the contents to expand when frozen, it should be fine.

I would not recommend trying to stack them in the freezer, since they're flexible, and the additional weight will likely cause a deformation of the bottom one, making the ice cubes more difficult to extract.

They are, but the plastic is brittle while cold, and if a container is in the freezer is dropped, it will crack. This was an issue for us while we had a side-by-side refigerator-freezer, and it would be with a top-freezer, but not that our freezer is on the bottom, I am less concerned about our supply of these containers dwindling. Now I am looking to replace the ones that have broken over the years, because these are useful containers, and how else are you going to store so many in such a small space?

I have not tried them in the freezer but I love these bins. The plastic is an excellent quality. If I had to guess, I would say it would be fine in the freezer.

I haven't tried to put them in the freezer, but I have used them in the microwave and then put icy cold liquids in with no problems. They aren't made of pyrex, but they seem pretty durable.

I have used them in the freezer but they have cracked with sauce expanding from freezing. I much prefer smaller jam jars for freezing.

The containers are designed for use in the refrigerator. We do not recommend using in the freezer.

Yes! The bags hold for enough for the freezer, I have frozen almost anything on the bags.

I wouldn't use them for freezing. Freezer paper is a much better choice. Parchment paper is much too thin.

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