Can this be stacked in the freezer sideways (assuming the lid is on of course) without leaking
857214
No. The lid does not fit tightly enough to prevent leaking. The lid is made to slide back and forth somewhat easily.
857215
No, unfortunately they must be stacked flat when placing water filled trays in the freezer. The lid is not a perfect seal to prevent leaking and only serves as a cover for stacking. Once the trays are frozen, you may easily store the trays sideways without fear of losing any ice cubes.

The lid slides onto the tray without a tight seal. Unfortunately, it will leak if placed on the side.

Haven't tested that out with cold water, but it probably would be OK after initially freezing it.

If already frozen, yes, you could place it sideways. But if you are are asking if you can place them sideways while they are in the process of freezing without the water leaking out, the answer would be no.

You got a cold fridge! Not to me. But be careful not to fill your container to the brim, the ice cream can work its way into the lid. Don't try and take the lid apart: you will render it useless. Leaving you with a glorified bucket.

I have not used this way, but I imagine they could as long as you don't seal them tight until after the freezing process is done. Product inside jar will expand while freezing and could crack the glass if no room for the expansion. I would put plastic wrap over jar until frozen then add the lid.

I honestly haven't tested them, I load them up and stack them and put them in the freezer. I have never had anything leak out, the lid is tight, it won't pop off. I haven't put them on their sides or upside down however to test the seal. Hope this helps!

Yes, as long as the cooler has a flat spot where the spout would come out. If it is rounded you might have some leaking.

You just want to dump ice in it? I have camping ice such as blue ice or any other container you can freeze and put inside. I don't know if it leaks because this is the kind of ice I use when I use it. I live in Texas where it is very hot. Groceries get hot and melted, wilted and so forth just comming home from the stores. I use these bags as a way to keep my food from spoiling on the way home. Great for long trips to do the same provided you put ice packs in them.

I have not used mine in the freezer. They appear to be made from a very high quality, rigid plastic. I am not sure what the cold would do to the seal on the lid, or to the clear plastic. Frankly, I prefer Ziploc Freezer bags for anything I have to freeze. I press the air out of the bag to better preserve the food, and also to help it fit better by taking less space. I believe the Oxo containers would take up too much room in the freezer, personally. That space is always at a premium.

Yes. The spigot rotates separately from the threading, so it can be rotated without loosening or leakage.

I had bought this as a cooler for putting in cold items and yes, to put ice in as well. It has leaked since day 1 and I need to exchange it. But I wasn't sure if there would be an issue because the manufacturer may be treating it as a lunch type box. So, I've had leaks even well below the zipper line.

Yes, that would be very possible. You fill the clear hard plastic side with water to the fill line, then simply put on the gray rubbery top and stick in the freezer. I think you could put anything in it but it would be size restricted, of course.

I haven't tried in the freezer but it feels if you waited for it to cool it'd be fine. As for the lid I'd recommend putting plastic wrap directly on top of the good then the lid just as an added precaution. My dogs have tried getting the lid off but haven't been able to so its pretty tight.

there is a pocket in the lid that could be used for a small freezer pack.i just put mine right inside the cooler.

Yes. It's very sturdy. I have it in my cabinet to store Ziplock bags and aluminum foil. But yes, it would definitely fit in your freezer -- if you have a freezer on top of your icebox. The side-by-side freezer/refrigerators may be too small.

Possible, but not optimal. There is a small hole meant for pouring contents into the lid or another cup.

I recommend you put the gasket on to the container prior to freezing. I found it can be hard to work with the frozen canister, but when it is room-temperature it is not an issue.

I would not recommend trying to stack them in the freezer, since they're flexible, and the additional weight will likely cause a deformation of the bottom one, making the ice cubes more difficult to extract.

Oxo doesn't suggest freezing it at an angle. What it says is, "The silicone lid forms a seal, so you don't have to worry about tipping or tilting the Tray when you carry it from sink to freezer. Now you can store the Ice Cube Tray in any position, even on an angle between the ice cream and the frozen veggies in a crowded freezer!" Those are two different things. The silicone cover prevents spills when you tilt it a bit when you're carrying it. After the ice is frozen, you can store the tray however you want and the ice doesn't come out.
