can you just keep these in the freezer all the time until you need them--they won't crack/break?

I have been keeping them in the freezer all the time and have had no problems.

Yes you can leave them in there as long as you want. The cups are plastic and the inside is a gel consistanc.

I've had mine a few months. I wash them and put them right back in the freezer until I need them again. Sometimes they are in the freezer for weeks between uses. So far no problems.

If you don't refrigerate, they don't have to be softened up--and mine never broke. I mostly use them for making sandwich wraps for my lunch (meat, cheese and lettuce with a little mayo). I love them!

I keep mine in the freezer, but they should be fine in the pantry if you use them within a month or two.

I freeze them the minute I get them. They never stay in the freezer more than a couple months at a time because I grind them every morning for our smoothies. I would think that they could be froze at least a year or more without tasting or smelling freezer burn.

Of course you have to put them in the freezer.... you put them in the freezer for at least 5 hours, then use them in your drink. They just don't "melt" like ice does.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

I have not tried to freeze them. And I don't think it would work very well. If the expanding liquid didn't break them, the extreme cold would probably make them more prone to crack

I kept mine in the freezer until I was ready to use them. That worked well.

I have frozen in them with no problem. However, I wouldn't ever put them in the microwave to thaw them out. This is the allowances I use on anything, regardless of instructions. It's a common sense thing for me!

Yes, I freeze the bowls and lids all the time. The lids are just plastic, so they'll be fine.

I haven't tried to put them in the freezer, but I have used them in the microwave and then put icy cold liquids in with no problems. They aren't made of pyrex, but they seem pretty durable.

I've never put them in the freezer, but I don't see why you couldn't. Although they are awesome at room temperature! Best teether my son used.

As far as I am aware you can. They are microwave & dishwasher safe, so I can't imagine they aren't freezer safe.

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 store these in the freezer and just take out enough for a week or two to keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. I've had these for several months and they are still fresh when I use them. I hope this helps. Enjoy!

I have used them in the freezer but they have cracked with sauce expanding from freezing. I much prefer smaller jam jars for freezing.

Yes! I store baby food in them all the time and can keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months. The lids click on nicely.
