I put freezer bowl in freezer without wrapping it in plastic. Is it ruined?The instructions say to wrap to prevent freezer burn. I haven't used it yet

You're fine. I must have missed that in my instructions. I put mine directly into the freezer and have had no issues. As a matter of fact, as I go thru the summer, the thing lives in the freezer so I can make Italian ice or sorbet any time I want.

Because they are plastic, they would probable become brittle in the freezer. Easy to break. I would not use them in the freezer.

thanks for the information. Just curious why prefer glass container than plastic since the incubating temperature is so low. We are not cooking it with high temperature.

Yes, I freeze the bowls and lids all the time. The lids are just plastic, so they'll be fine.

I honestly don't know. Since they can not go in a microwave (or oven) I would be afraid to put in the freezer due to extreme cold. I would be afraid they could crack. I love my bowls so much, that even though they say they can go in the dishwasher, I choose to wash by hand.

I live in Arizona and haven't had to deal with this issue. But I would suggest emptying the dish before a freeze to be on the safe side. The type of plastic of which it is made seems durable enough to handle temperature changes.

I've never had that problem. Did something melt inside the oven (i.e., plastic wrap, plastic container)?

I have used this as a replacement for the ball freezer jam. Not sure if that helps. It works well yet is not as simple as the Ball. The bonus is there is no preservative.

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher with no ill effects. It is after all just anodized metal (probably aluminum). However, that's usually overkill, since I usually thaw food still freezer wrapped, so a wipe with a paper towel or sponge with a little dish soap and rinse is all it takes. Never had anything stick to it, so I've never scoured it.

I do not have a direct answer but if I froze them I would open them and dump them out in a ice cube tray and freeze them that way. Reason being I am not sure that the plastic container is designed to be frozen? or rated to be frozen. Just my 2 cents maybe some one will chime in their thoughts to help answer your question.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

Any plastic, whether it is stated to be safe or not, is going to break down over time in extreme temperatures. With that said, I wouldn't trust any plastic in the microwave, freezer, and certainly not in the oven.

It is made out of silicone and it can go in the freezer. I would not try opening it or locking it down when it is that cold because plastic become brittle when cold.

If there is liquid in the bag, it should have the same heat absorbing effect if the bag is in contact with the crock. Putting frozen food in may cause a thermal shock, or the elements in the heater may be defective and getting way too hot. Or if you are not using any liquid at all because the meat is in the bag it may also cause overheating. Never heard of that before. Hope you solve the mystery.

If you flash freeze berries on a cookie sheet and then put the frozen berries in a jar and vacumme seal them putting them back into the freezer after each use I would not be afraid in the least of any contamination, but be wary of freezer burn in the jars, if you understand what I just said in a round about way. I would, however, be cautious about freezing a glass jar. I would feel much better using the vacuum sealing bags from Food Saver, depending what you have in the jars if you flash freeze berries and not liquid that may expand and possibly break the jar, the flash frozen berries may be alright.
