How well does it do in the freezer? Do I have to worry about freezer burn if I store a pie in the freezer?

I have used the glass pie plate to freeze pies after double wrapping them---first plastic wrap, then foil. If allowed to thaw to room temperature, there will be no freezer burn. It can then be eaten or baked as the case may be. I certainly would not use the carrier to store in freezer.

I wouldn't use it to put a pie in the freezer. There are air vents in the top cover. This is designed more to carry and store a pie short term. For that they are very useful.

I think either way would be ok. I just leave it in the freezer but you probably wouldn't have to.

I put mine in the freezer overnight and it gave a good reading. Then I left it out on the cupboard to check it for accuracy and it came up to the furnace's room temperature to the exact degree. So then I put it in the 'frig. That seemed to take a little longer - a day or so. I'm very happy!

I don't actually bake a pie in this pan. I bake the pie in a regular pie pan & place it in this pan before placing the lid on. I then can serve the pie in my glass or ceramic pan. I like keeping this pan to use strictly for storing or taking some place. However, the pan is large enough that if you wanted to bake in it, you could just not bring your crust up over the sides. Then the lid would go on fine.

I have not used it for cookies, but have stored Jerky, Dehydrated apple chips, and Dehydrated Pineapple, and used to vacuum seal meat for the freezer. I have some Beef Jerky that has been stored for almost two months now and some pineapple chips that have been stored for over a month. So far, still sealed tight with no leaks. Opened a bag of jerky for one of the grandkids the other day. Taste's as fresh as when vacuume sealed. The only problem I have had was with some Freshsaver bags that I bought at wallyworld. May have just been a bad batch or old stock, not sure. But all the ones I have ordered from Amazon and directly from the Food Saver site have performed great, and never a problem with sealing. I also like to throw in a oxysorb pack which is just added insurance that no oxygen or moisture will be present when sealed. This is a dandy vacuum sealer. It is also great if you like to buy larger packs of meat to store in the freezer. No worries of freezer burn. And with no oxygen, the meat looks as fresh as when you sealed it. Hope this helps.

i have frozen it in ice tray to have single portion sizes for sauces and such. also it will keep in the fridge for about a week. but in the fridge it becomes solid, so you have to heat when you want to use. i will put it in a glass bell jar with top and heat to use when in fridge.

I store mine in the freezer... I really don't know how much shelf life it has... I tend to use it up quickly...

I would like to know if this can be frozen, and not change the attributes of the product. Also, what is the shelf life if unfrozen?

Hi - you can freeze it, but I never have and the packages last for months. Once opened, if kept in a plastic bag, they last longer than regular bread also, but you'll want to use it up as if it is regular bread.

I would not recommend putting into microwave. I have never had reason to put in freezer

I am not sure about the freezer or freezer to oven use as I have not used it this way. The lid is NOT air tight. It fits inside the glass dish too. It does not have a cove cover. It will smash into the top layer of your food item as it sits inside about 1/4 of an inch or so.

Although I do not have a toaster oven, I have baked small serving pies in the oven using these mini pie dishes. In the oven, they are cooked (on a cookie sheet) at 350 degrees). Therefore, I suspect they could be put in a toaster oven at 350 degrees or less. I do not know about a higher temp. Keep in mind that they are really small....much smaller than I visualized. However, they are perfect for my husband's pies as one will last for 2 days. My friend made up 5 individual berry pies for my husband and then cooked all of them at the same time. She then froze 4 pies. They were defrosted and heated in the microwave as needed. Although I do not have a toaster oven, I have baked small serving pies in the oven using these mini pie dishes.

I have not tried to chill it in the freezer yet. I don't think it will be a problem. The glass is very thick and feels solid.

I have not frozen this, so I can not address that. But I have stored it in a cool dark drawer for as much as a year with little ill effects. I do keep it tightly sealed in a Tupperware style container. (Letting it dry out will obviously make it difficult to work with and it will not have the desired 'melt in your mouth' quality it has when you first open it.) I am a big fan of this product and have no problems coming up with ways to use it.

I stored mine in the freezer for about a week before I used it, but only because I wasn't ready to use it right away. Before that it lived on my counter for a few days, but still worked awesome. Sorry this isn't a more straight forward answer!

I have frozen it and it has worked well for me. I use it frequently enough though that most of the time I keep it in my pantry and it stays fresh if the top is sealed.
