I personally cooked the food then placed them in the tray, but I'm sure you can make and bake lasagne in the oven and place them on the buffet server. I would just be careful of scratching the teflon. Freezing them shouldn't be a problem either because it's metal. I recently used them for a nacho bar watching football with my family and plan to use them over Thanksgiving. It's a great deal for the price.

I have never put them in the freezer, I googled it and it says you can - says they are dish washer safe to just not microwaveable

just put your frozen item on the tray ... if you wish, warm the tray first with warm water

The Calphalon site says yes, they can go in the oven and that they're safe to 500F/260C; but that they can NOT go in the freezer. I have this stock pot, and I love it! In the winter I use it about 3-4 times a week. (what can I say- it's cold in the Midwest, and I love to make soups and stews!) I hope this helped info helped you. Here's the link to Calphalon's site: http://store.calphalon.com/calphalon-tri-ply-stainless-steel-8-qt-stockpot/299017I really wish Amazon would post more info about their products- it would make it so much easier to make a purchase!

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 would say it depends on what your plans are. If it's going to be hot, I'd freeze them, if it's not, refrigerating them would be sufficient.

You will be totally fine. These are heavy duty and very similar to those that hold frozen lasagna.

I would never store the lasagna in this. Pan is made for heat, not cold. Remove from pan and put in a sealed container. I use microwavable containers so I can heat and eat! With the spatula that comes with this pan, transferring the lasagna from this to another container is so easy!!

I suppose it could be done......not sure about cooking them directly from a frozen state.

I have used the glass pie plate to freeze pies after double wrapping them---first plastic wrap, then foil. If allowed to thaw to room temperature, there will be no freezer burn. It can then be eaten or baked as the case may be. I certainly would not use the carrier to store in freezer.

Yes, they can! The only problem I've had with them is that the lids sometimes crack in the freezer. They are fantastic for making meals ahead!

Yes you can. I have taken from freezer to oven with no problems. My new must have.

I have not tried to put them in the freezer. I am writing this to you as I sit next to the pile of used ones that need to be heated again to make them liquid, they become solid after use. That pile has been there for several weeks. Really not worth the money. I would not buy these again, they are a total pain. If after you heat them if there is even one crystal left, this can be very hard to see, they will just reheat when you take them out of the hot water and you are stuck heating them again to reset. They do not stay warm for nearly long enough to make them worth it. I would strongly urge you to skip these and go with an old fashioned water bottle. Sometimes an oldie is a goodie.

They say dishwasher, freezer & microwave safe. I have not put these on warm in oven but I have put similar dishes in oven to keep warm.

I'm not sure. I never have tried them in the freezer or oven. It may depend on how hot your oven is when you want to use them. They are microwave safe and dishwasher safe. I would email Oneida and ask them. I did get a reply from them when I had a question before I bought them. Good luck.

Yes, I was able to put them in the freezer. The only problem I had was the lids don't stay on very well and it's not a complete seal if the lids do stay put.

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.
