will they break if i freeze a liquid

My personal experience is that if you refrigerate them overnight and THEN freeze, they do not break. If you put room temp foods (leftovers or something) in them and put them straight into the freezer, then they DO break. Even if you give them space to expand.

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.

No, but liquids expand when frozen so leave a couple of inches of headroom good luck!

As with freezing any liquid you must leave space for the liquid to become frozen. If you leave enough space for the expansion, no the jar will not break.

No! I don't consider any product that will crack when frozen or shatter when dropped freezer safe. Also, the lids are extremely difficult to remove once they are frozen.

I have had no issue using them in the freezer for short periods of time. The seal is pretty tight. Long term like with any type container frost builds up.

I have never put them in the freezer but they are thick mugs so the cold shouldn't harm them

You could if you use the metal end on a hard surface . Make sure to place the ice in a waterproof nylon bag 3-5 min after taking them out of the freezer. Cheers!

They do become brittle. If you don't step on or drop they may be ok. This happens when left in sub freezing tewmp outside.

These if sealed with liquid contents this bottle would explode just like any other sealed container (water expands when frozen). If you were to leave a bit of space at the top then put the bottle unsealed in the freezer wait till it was frozen, then seal it, that would work.

We use them in a large -20 deg F commercial freezer at an aquarium and they get treated pretty roughly. I have been using them in that setting for 10+years and have never seen one break or crack. We use them for many other purposed too and they are very durable.

I would not recommend freezing this bottle, freezing the liquid causes the bottle to expand and then contract would cause damage.

I have no problem with them in the freezer for a short period. Like any frozen glass it can burst when handled, use caution. Joe

Extremely strong glass. Very thick. I would think if you left room for some expansion of frozen liquid, they should be fine. I have not tried freezing anything in them. This is only my opinion based on how sturdy they are.

I have not used mine in the freezer since they have a tendency to crack on the bottom. Once they crack they do not work but use E6000 glue on the crack to once more seal from air getting into them.

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.

Have not tried it.Do not know if it would become brittle in the freezer, but they are cheap enough that you could give them a try. If it does not work out you can still use them for many other things.If it does work in the freezer let us know. An interesting use.

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.

These go on glass Mason jars. Water expands when it freezes. You will end up with either a broken jar or a blown seal if you put one in a freezer. If you are going to freeze just get some ziploc freezer bags.
