can these cups be placed in freezer to store the baby food?

Yes, both the packaging and the Anchor Hocking website say that they are freezer safe. However, the Anchor Hocking website says that you shouldn't take the cups directly from the freezer to the oven. It suggests that you should let the food thaw first before cooking or reheating in oven.

I don't see why not, haven't tried it myself, we used Lansinoh milk storage bags for the freezer (the best bags, in my opinion. Inexpensive and sturdier than medela). Our baby used these bottles for the first 5 months then when she rejected them we still used the bottles for milk storage, it's nice that they come with lids for that.

Yes, I use these to freeze liquids because they do not leak, so you can perfectly store breastmilk

Yes! It says you can freeze them on the inside of the label. The bottle also has plenty of extra space for the milk to expand when it freezes. It reads up to 5 oz. But when I'm just storing milk in the fridge, I can fit about 6 1/2 ounces in the bottle. :)

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

I haven't tried them in the freezer. I would just keep them in the fridge. My grandbabies love them at room temp. Yours might too. Hope this helps! : )

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.

I use these for sauces which would be similar to baby food. I freeze portions and then put them in ziplock freezer bags.

Have not attempted this, but I feel confident that they would hold up for a single use if they went immediately into the freezer. I am equally confident that they would NOT hold up for more than a single use and/or if the water were significantly hot when put into the container. Hope that helps.

I've never tried putting them in the freezer, so unfortunately, I can't answer your question. I've read over the bottle insert and it mentions nothing about freezing, so I don't think I'd attempt it.

i have used them in the freezer and also sent them to school with my 4yr old, and they have not leaked or cracked. I make sure they are not filled to the brim and the food is moveable so that they don't explode and keeps the seals in place

Yes!!!! I used these for freezing over 600 oz of breastmilk. I didn't store BM in them long term. Once the milk was frozen, I popped the cubes out and stored either in a vacuum sealed bag (highly recommend this for long term), or a zippy freezer bag. Then they were placed in a deep freeze and some stored for up to 5 months. I never had any problem with milk quality. The vacuum sealed bags make the cubes stick together a bit as they are pressed onto one another, especially when stored for a few months, but a quick smack on a counter top broke them up well.

Yes. I've frozen soups and chilis in them. They're basically the same as used for soup at the deli. Just leave some room at the top for expansion when freezing.

I have not used for freezing food but think they would work well. They are a heavier plastic than some and quite airtight. 2oz is still quite small.

I haven't ever tried it, but I think that you could. I would probably freeze them in the tray and then pop the cubes out and store them in a good freezer bag.

i am not sure these can be frozen. They are dry, like pasta. So they have a very long shelf life if kept dry. I keep mine in the pantry, and they seem to keep in good shape for a long time. Hope that helps.

I haven't tried to put mine in the freezer but I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I use margarine containers in the freezer all of the time. Since we know that the glass is impervious to the cold, the only question would be the lids and they are essentially the same thing as margarine container lids so I don't see why not. Hope this was helpful. P.S. I wouldn't try to pop the lid off right away after taking one out of the freezer but rather wait a couple minutes for it to warm up and become flexible again.
