Is it refridgerator and freezer safe?

I think it can be used in the refrigerator, but it has a soft rubber seal that would likely be destroyed by the freezer.

These containers appear to be polycarbonate or PETG plastic. They use what appears to be a silicone seal. They should be safe for the refrigerator and freezer. However, I really do not see the point of using them in the freezer. These were designed to seal air from shelf-stable food. A freezer is designed to extend the life of decomposing foods. I would wrap meat or cheese in tin foil and place it in the freezer. I would use the OXO containers for pet food, snacks, candy, rice, beans, or other dry foods. We purchased these with the square buttions and then OXO changed the square buttons to the PET line and manufactured the same units with round buttons for consumers. We still use the square button models for people food. No problems on any of them yet.

Yes, no problem. If you have really thick carpet or padding, those puck-like plastic bases, placed under the feet, will make the freezer more stable, if that's a problem. But my freezer works great and have not had any problems with it so far.Kevin

I have been using using it with a frost free freezer converted into a kegerator for the last two years without incident. Many others are successfully doing so. If you have a particular concern, you can try contacting the freezer manufacturer. However, it is not a significant concern to me. Theoretically, a manual defrost might allow slightly more consistent or precise temperature regulation by avoiding defrost cycles, but I have yet to meet anyone for whom that is of any actual significance.

No, dont put it in the freezer. Just regular refrigeration will be fine, and believe me it will last.

There is nothing on the container that says it needs to be refridgerated; I never have. It does, however, recommend using it within 60 days of opening it.

You cannot place it in the freezer, but the refrigerator; yes. It will literally keep anything cold for days.

I guess that depends on the size of your freezer. This is a gallon jug of quality with a sealable top. I would tend to use freezer bags and not risk breaking this jug in the freezer. Good freezing. JH

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

I have not used it inside a freezer but I think it would work fine. Clean the surface to repair well with alcohol or polish remover. I used it on an electric stove and it worked great. I was very happy with the product.

I use other containers for freezer. Anyway, these are safe for use in freezer too. Here is what specification says: "Containers are safe for refrigerator and freezer use; however when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations the Container lid may lift due to changes in air pressure." http://www.oxo.com/download/GG_1071394_webinstruction.pdf

No, I don't think so. It does not require refrigeration. Mine sits out on my counter.

I put mine in the freezer right after I clean it and it stays in there until I use it next time. I haven't had any problems.

Yup, I've put mine in the freezer (even for weeks at a time) with no problems at all.

I never thought about freezer usage but I guess it would be possible. As with any product I would check with the manufacturers recondmendations.

According to the manufacture, they are freezer safe. My wife and I use freezer bags or plastic storage containers to store items in the freezer.
