Is this dish freezer safe? Is the lid tight enough for freezer use? Thank you!

I am not sure about the freezer or freezer to oven use as I have not used it this way. The lid is NOT air tight. It fits inside the glass dish too. It does not have a cove cover. It will smash into the top layer of your food item as it sits inside about 1/4 of an inch or so.

I haven't tried in the freezer but it feels if you waited for it to cool it'd be fine. As for the lid I'd recommend putting plastic wrap directly on top of the good then the lid just as an added precaution. My dogs have tried getting the lid off but haven't been able to so its pretty tight.

I've not frozen mine but I would think it may warp the lids on the containers. I'd suggest buying a small box at your grocery store to try it first. If it works get thisbox because its so much more economical tho!

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 haven't tried freezing mine, but as long as you leave room in the tubs to allow for expansion it should be fine. They are dishwasher and microwave safe so I can't imagine they aren't freezer safe as well.

Have not tried freezer to microwave yet, although I think it should be ok with lid removed?

I use other containers for freezer. Anyway, these are safe for use in freezer too. Here is what specification says: "Containers are safe for refrigerator and freezer use; however when exposed to extreme temperature fluctuations the Container lid may lift due to changes in air pressure." http://www.oxo.com/download/GG_1071394_webinstruction.pdf

I've never had trouble getting lids on and off unless the bowl has just been taken out of the freezer, but after it sits a minute, it comes right off. The bowls and lids ARE dishwasher safe, but I never put lids in due to warping.

Having the food in the dish and covered with the lid keeps the heat in, but it is glass on glass, so probably some limited air exchange where the lid meets the bowl. If you turn the covered set over, the lid would definitely fall off. It would do ok for storage inside the refrigerator, but I would not put it in the freezer.

I would personally use something like the OXO locktop containers for leftover meals. These are more for dry vertical storage. They can be used in the fridge or freezer, but are not dishwasher safe. The locktop containers are designed more for leftovers/lunches.

I know it is refrigerator safe but I have not placed mine in the freezer. I would assume that if you left the pop-top lid open, that it would freeze properly but I just haven't had a need for that type of situation. Sorry.

Agree that it is a tight seal, but may not be the best container if you are going to regularly use it to transport more "liquidy" foods like yogurt. Also, while its still tight, our lids have gotten a bit more loose over time.

It is my understanding these containers are intended for dry storage - beans, flour,pasta, sugar, etc. I don't recall reading anything about freezer use.

Hi, Vicki, yes they are microwave safe, dishwasher safe (although I had wash everything!) and freezer safe! I love my dishes!

The containers say they are dishwasher safe (top shelf), microwave safe up to 100°C, and freezer safe to -20°C.

I just got the OXO Tot Baby Freezer Blocks and yes they fit nicely. It should be safe because the water doesn't actually get that hot. Would be good for food from fridge but not directly from freezer I would suspect but I haven't tired it yet.

Unknown...I've never tried it. I doubt it because the adhesive tape is relatively weak and I don't think it would survive the wet & brittle nature of a freezer.

I haven't had a problem with it -- I don't put it in the dishwasher, but other than that, I don't see a problem. It's tight when you use it and easy to store.
