I suppose you could although you might have a problem. Stainless steel will contract in the cold and this could affect the seal. Also, the cold could affect the rubber gasket by making it rigid and/or brittle. Not all types of rubber do that though and I don't know what type of rubber this gasket is made of.

They are very good to use as canisters. I would not put them in the freezer.

We used to store our regular coffee in the freezer when we bought a considerable amount on sale. I don't know why it wouldn't work with these. These are already vacuum sealed.

Yes, they are air tight. Definitely fridge. I guess you could put them in the freezer.

I have never tried it. If you freeze them, I don't see why not. I love using them for cakes.

I believe it would be fine. I use the container that was designated for flour because I wanted more sugar at my finger tips. I use smaller ones for brown sugar and confectioner sugar. They seal well and you can see how much you have left when you put it away.

I would think in the freezer in zip locks would be the way to store them. A deep freeze would be even better than the freezer compartment of the refrigerator.

I would say no. I use old ice cream buckets for that. I don't think they are made for the freezer.

I have never tried to put them in the freezer, but as they don't tightly, I wouldn't try it.

I keep one portion in a sealed container in my kitchen. The rest I put in gallon freezer bags in the freezer. I usually use the entire 25 pounds in less than a year and have never experienced any loss of freshness or quality. The flour can probably last indefinitely if stored properly in the freezer.

Yes, as long as they are firm and not overly ripe. Sometimes it's easiest to place them in the freezer for 5-10 minutes if they're not firm enough.

I wouldn't use them for freezing. Freezer paper is a much better choice. Parchment paper is much too thin.

Thank you for taking time to answer. If I froze them I would definitely wrap them tightly in plastic first. I freeze all my other flours and meals so they won't get weevils. But I will take this into consideration.

I opened it and transferred contents into several gallon size ziplocks. Stored each in freezer to also keep flour fresh. Works great. Bring flour to room temp b4 using in ur recipe.

Yes, flour can be stored in mylar bags. Make sure to use oxygen absorbers in each bag. When storing, keep the bags in a hard type container, such as food grade bucket or storage tub. Keep the container up off the floor a few inches to prevent moisture/condensation caused by temperature change. Try to keep in a dark, dry place with a average temp of 70 degree F. The closer you keep it to 70 or below, the longer it will keep.

No - You cannot. They come with a 1 cup measuring cup and the lid must be removed to use the contents. I have about 8 of these and use them to store various types of flour. Hope this helps you.

Yes, you can. I use them on freezer bags and plastic containers in which I store leftovers in the freezer.
