Could a frozen liquid pop out of these easily? I'm looking to freeze broth and then transfer the frozen blocks to baggies.

No the liquid will be fine. Just fill to the line, let cool, be sure to pressure shut the lid.

These click shut and do not leak. They are good for putting liquids in. I use them for homemade ice cream, chili, soup, etc.

If you dipped the frozen container in hot water for a few seconds to loosen the frozen broth from the sides of the container then it would easily slip out.

Yes, they are very flimsy! I freeze my broth in mason jars, wide mouth. If you try this make sure you leave a 1-2 in headspace.

I just filled one up with water then gave it a pretty good shaking and not a drop came out, but I don't think they were made to use for food on the go...The lid is not a deep lid, it's just right around the very top part of the jar/glass, so if it gets moved just a smidge, anything liquid in it, will be out of it :)

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.

Yes, they are very sturdy. I was very impressed with the quality. I poured liquid broth into them, then froze them in the freezer as ice cubes. Even with liquid in them, they held their shape perfectly.

I would say yes, as you have to fill them in an upright position - I use a freezer safe cup, or the fluid will leak out around the cap, before the are frozen.

If they are already frozen, I don't see why not. They would, however, be open at the bottom. Just my opinion, though.

They are not air tight - liquids seep out if you turn them on the side. I use them in the frig and for pantry storage but have never used them in the freezer.

Yes. I make a lunch dish for the whole week and fill up about 8 of them and freeze. Just don't fill above the fill line as the frozen food will expand a bit. I love this product.

I make my own recipes, so it depends on what the cubes are made out of - but in general, they either easily pop out right out of the freezer or if you run a little bit of water on the bottom of the tray. (And by recipes, I mean I put peanut butter (or cheese or pumpkin) and water in a blender) :) Love these!

These would work, for sure. Do be careful of overfilling-- the puree or milk will expand when freezing and I almost popped a couple of covers because of that.

Hi Laura, I have discovered I have to be sure not to fill to top and make sure the tops snap on/ and the trick is that nothing else in freezer knocks them over be fore they freeze, I had not yet frozen orange juice all over one time/ so understand your question / they stand up fantastic in the holder, after frozen I place in plastic bag and add more as I have 3 sets of these love them,

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

We have frozen milk in these short-term only without any problems. I wouldn't recommend these for long-term freezer storage since there would be a layer of air between the milk and the lid.

I wouldn't recommend it, I don't think they hold their "freeze" very long at all. I'd use a small freezer pack instead.

my containers hold the liquid with no problem. I freeze liquid in it but if they fall they will break and crack.

I've never tried this on frozen bagels and would not try. I slice my bagels before putting them in the freezer. They come out of the freezer rock hard.

I accidentally froze some. I was interrupted and put my bowl of ice cream in the freezer when I answered the front door. When I got back to the ice cream a few hours later the boba on top were frozen solid. they didn't stay frozen very long but were delicious frozen. They do stick together frozen.
