Do you think these would work for freeze portions of soup and stews?

I'm not really sure, but what I can tell you is that they hold a little less than a cup of water.

It depends....Like Julia I never done either, just muffin mix. I feel they could do the stews easily since there's some bulk; soups may be iffy. The cups are flexible so bulk contents would be OK. Soups..it depends.

They hold about 1/4 cup of liquid. (For the LARGE size) I have frozen coffee (hot and cold) in these without any problems.

I freeze soups, chili, spaghetti sauce.... anything liquid in the bags without a problem. They freeze beautifully and stack perfectly in the freezer.

Yes, I have/ Since they are not always available, I buy enough for at last six months and freeze in package. Best for cooking after defrosting, since they soften.

They would be very large as soup bowls...Even as individual salad bowls they are very large. I like to put them in the fridge ahead of time and then used them as salad bowls when the salad is a whole meal...it's a big bowl...they do fine in the dish washer so they probably would be ok with warm liquid, I just think it is very big for soup...

I don't think I would use them for soup, they are a little delicate, I used them for dessert shooters and it worked pretty well for them.

Yes! I use mine for freezing all kinds of things. The only drawback is (and this happens in any condition, not just the freezer) every once in a while they "unvacuum" It usually happens quickly because of not zipping them tightly enough, but sometimes it is because of a bad bag or small hole in the bag, so I check in a day or two to avoid freezer burn, stale food, etc.

Yes, these work great for freezer storage. I have froze breast milk and homemade baby food for 3 of my children in these, and have never had problems. They go directly from freezer, to bottle warmer to dishwasher with out any difficulty.

I have never used them for freezing food. You can give it a try. they seem spill proof (so far).

Absolutely. I buy them regularly to repackage meat for vacuum freezing. My only suggestion is that you need to minimize handling after freezing because you can disturb the vacuum seal if constantly moving things around in your freezer (unless you are very careful when doing so). NOTE: I assume you have the Ziploc vacuum contraption to remove the air. These bags require that.

Hi. I have these for ice cream. But believe they would work great for hot soup The lids appear to be vented with a second layer beneath. Hope this helps!

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

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'm not sure about freezing. I'd think you could but they have a 6 month shelf life :)

I have used them for veges and home made soup, on Med heat. You need to partially thaw first to make sure there are no holes in the bag. Probably would work for Spaggeti sauce, but I wouldn't boil the water then put the bag and contents in if its a rapid boil. Have to experiment.

I have not tried them in the freezer. I would use caution - do a test on one first. Some Bormioli Rocco jars have "shoulders" which can create pressure as food freezes and expands. You would want to leave a 1" headspace for sure. If you are freezing liquids like broth use caution - they expand the most. Freezer jams do not freeze solid and so tend to expand less - if you leave the 1" headspace they would likely be safe. Fresh / dried herbs (not covered in liquid) would be fine. When storing jars in the freezer it would be good to ensure the jars do not bump into each other - perhaps use the box they come in to keep them protected and make it easier to rearrange the freezer. I will try a test with plain water and report back. :D

They hold about 5oz according to the box. They are small and GLASS with no handles...If the soup is hot, probably not a good idea as they would be hard to hold.There is no heat instructions in the box...so I would think that they are for tasting small cool or cold foods. There are ceramic type tasting dishes soldhere at Amazon that might work better.

I have no idea, but I would hesitate to use them in the freezer. OTOH, if you tried it with a small amount, as someone else said, all you'd have to do is wash your slow cooker.
