I'm looking for containers to freeze cookies in. Would these work for that. i will be baking and transporting many cookies and need cheap containers.

The containers are large and would hold a good number of cookies, depending on their size. The tops fit well. You still might want to put a layer of the self-stick type clear wrap between the cookies and top to seal it off even more. These are my favorites and hold up under repeated uses and washings.

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!

Hello J. Tullier!I'd think any of those would be fine.....think of them as a raisin....which could be stored all 3 ways w/the freezer extending the life the best!

I'm sure they could be even though I've never done it. I usually have them eaten pretty quick! I know that you can freeze all other cookies so I don see why not these. Goodluck!

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

I have never used the Bormioli Jars to freeze food. They are certainly air tight and you would have to allow for expansion so you wouldn't be able to fill them full or they would burst or break at the pressure. Suppose they could be used for freezing as long as the jar has enough headroom. I would prefer a container of different material to avoid breakage!

Hello Shelly, I am glad to answer your question...these little canning jars are so handy in my kitchen/home! Even though they are meant for canning and can withstand a fairly high temperature, I would not put them into the oven. I use them for keeping small amounts of cooking ingredients that I use often and do not wish to handle the large containers which these ingredients are originally packaged. Also, I have given a few to friends who saw them and admired their "just the right size" feature for lots of things throughout the home. I plan to order more in the near future.

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 don't know--have never used for that purpose. I think they are only containers.

I have never used them for freezing food. You can give it a try. they seem spill proof (so far).

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.

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

Yes, with cautions.Leave plenty of headroom for freezing items to expand and don't overfill. Don't change temperatures suddenly. I only put the food in the freezer from room temperature, and I don't heat suddenly.I feel a little more secure with these in the freezer than thinner jars, but a broken glass would not surprise me at all.

These would work, for sure. Do be careful of overfilling-- the puree or milk will expand when freezing and I almost popped a couple of covers because of that.

I would not suggest them for a very small container. I have one in my flour canister and one in my sugar canister, but they are both large containers. I would not try to use them in any small canisters.

I freezer store food in them often. Great for short term, not sure if they are the best for storing food for months at a time though...
