I would like to use this for storing flour. Is the jar freezer-safe?

No, it does not strike me as a container whose glass is thick enough to be put in the freezer

I put my flour in the freezer to increase the life of the flour. I have had regular flour in the pass for quite some time.

That depends on how you stored the product. A whole grain flour such as this should be kept in the freezer for long term storage.If you live in a warm climate, and have kept the flour at room temperature for longer than say 4-6 months, it's likely rancid.Also, there can be a problem with weevil infestation....

Yes. You can also check their website "These lightweight storage containers are freezer, microwave and dishwasher safe (oven use is not recommended)."

I would save my money. This jar, although the size is great, arrived and not able to open it. I'd go with the glass ones that they have on Amazon. They were a good price each, arrived on time, AND the large sizes will easily allow things to be stored. The only thing is those do not have the large wide opening. Your other option would be to get gallon sized ziplock bag, and put as much flour in it as you could. That would probably serve the purpose and cost a whole lot less money for you.

Hi Jerry. I see no reason why not. In my case, I leave the main bag in the freezer, and take some out into a glass jar which I keep in the fridge. If I had room in my tiny freezer (i.e. if it wasn't so tiny), I'd put ALL the powder stock into one or more jars in the freezer. It's best stored in glass, to reduce oxidation (not that it will oxidise much in the freezer). I also prefer to not keep foods stored in plastics (they all leach chemicals, as you likely know).

there is a rubber seal that goes around each lid to keep your item fresh. they seem to make a nice seal and would work great for like storing flour and sugar and whatever else you may decide to put in them.

I have not personally tried to freeze anything yet, but they are glass so I don't see why you could not use like a regular mason jar (leave enough space for expansion). Even if you do not use as intended, you won't be disappointed with these little jars. My friend uses the set I g ave her for salad dressings because they do not spill the liquid.

As far as I know, fine! We've had ours for six months with no problems. (There is no freezer compartment.)

I would think in the freezer in zip locks would be the way to store them. A deep freeze would be even better than the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

Yes. It's all plastic and rubber and would be okay in a freezer. It's colapsable so it won't be good with much weight on top of it.

I don't think this is Freezer safe and I wouldn't recommend to put it in the freezer.

I use this container for bread flour. It is pretty good made. I have been using this for over 6months and I never have any trouble with any bugs and humidity.

Sorry, Joyce, I haven't used it for flour, etc., just cookies. Cookies are a biggie here with husband, son-in-law grandies, etc., so a cookie jar was what I needed! The jar is huge, & a 5lb bag of flour would fit, BUT, I wouldn't use it for my flour. There is no seal and I've noticed whatever cookies might be left would get soft, so probably would need a seal. Incidently, I keep my flour in fridge which is best place to keep it.Good cooking!

Ball jars do freeze, but it's not smart (nor safe) to freeze the ones with "shoulders". The frozen product inside will put extra pressure on the should area and may cause it to break. So in short, though Ball jars are safe for freezing, these jars would not be safe.

I use my jars for dry good storage. I would contact the maker before using in a pressure canner.

I repackaged mine in 1 gallon ziplocs and have had it on the shelf for 8 months with no problems. Because it is a dry product, I don't believe you need to freeze it to store it.
