Are these good for the freezer? Do they prevent freezer burn?

I have frozen a few items in them and they worked okay. Just make sure you get them to room temperature before you try to remove the lid to prevent cracking. The only way they will "reduce" freezer burn is if you fill them to capacity so that there is no air remaining between the food and the lid.

not very well and they get very brittle when frozen.have an entire order shipped with damaged edges broken, didnt see until too lateif they are going to be use once and tss probably ok

I freeze foods in them. I really don't keep it long enough to know if it causes freezer burn. The lid snaps securely so I think it is a good seal. You would just have to try it.

I discovered that they DO become very brittle when frozen, I dropped one on the floor and the corner broke off...I was planning on freezing small meals for my elderly Father in them. Will not buy these again for that reason. Best to check out Reditainer's other products carefully for freezer containers for that. Have been happy with their other containers I bought for freezing, and they were specifically for freezing.

They will work on frozen items. It depends on the freezer, however. If the freezer has a lot of humidity inside, and it has a defrost cycle, the labels may eventually start softening up and getting wet. I use various types of labels but I label the item first, then use plastic wrap. I've used masking tape, disintegrating food safe labels, as well as avery labels. As long as I keep them under a layer of plastic, they've worked fine. If you're unsure, your best bet may be just buying a small pack of labels and testing them out prior to investing in the printer.

They have been safe in a freezer as longas you leave space at top. They work okay in micro wave but I use plastic wrap instead of lid because lids warp with heat. Have never tried to use in oven

Personally, I wouldn't use them in the freezer. They are steel-mesh, therefore, metal, so there's a couple places I wouldn't recommend using them: someplace extremely hot or someplace extremely cold. I have used covered wire shelving in my freezer quite successfully. I put cardboard over them when using ziplock bags so they freeze flat and not with slots where they have fallen through the wire shelf. Hope that helps.

Yes, they are ideal fir freezing. I have used them for two years nearly and I freeze most of the food I bag.

They can be used in the freezer just don't overfill. They can't be heated hotter than hot soup.

Yes, I believe they are safe for the freezer, but that's only my experience. I can't guarantee this.

I have used them in the microwave and the freezer and they seem to be fine. I have not used they straight from the freezer into the microwave.

Yes, they can be used for freezer. However, they are not very thick so double bagging would be good and they are NOT "zipper" type bags. I am so glad to be able to find these because I have always had so many uses for just a plain quart size bag WITHOUT all the zipping parts. I was NOT able to buy plain baggies anywhere until I found them here-so I stocked up. Definitely would buy again and again as long as they are available!

They work great for freezing; that's mostly what I use them for. I have reused a few bags for dry goods, a couple times, with no issues yet. Most of my bags are used for uncooked foods, and I have not reused those. So far the system has worked well, with no apparent problems.

They last a very long time, i too have a foodsaver and i prefer to vacuum seal it that way last forever and no funny burns or ice inside the package and after i freeze them, hope it helps.

I don't know what kind of freezer you have. My guess is these are not intended for use in a freezer.

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.

They would probably be OK for a short time in the freezer, maybe 1 or 2 days. These wax bags do not seal, so the air may get in and cause freezer - burn.

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

I have had no issue using them in the freezer for short periods of time. The seal is pretty tight. Long term like with any type container frost builds up.

I have not used mine in the freezer since they have a tendency to crack on the bottom. Once they crack they do not work but use E6000 glue on the crack to once more seal from air getting into them.
