could you freeze broth or chili and be able to pop out the frozen item to put in food saver bags?

I don't see why not. My wife has used them for Jello Molds and making jazzy layered Ice Cream desserts. She likes how you can squeeze them thin to pour batters and liquids into muffin pans and little molds. Hey, I forgot to mention that I actually bought 2 sets of these bowls. One for me and one for her. We've had some hot stuff in them and they're none the worse for use. Good luck.

I haven't but I'm sure you can. I just wouldn't leave them frozen for an extended period. I love these for many different uses.

You absolutely CAN freeze food in these bowls! i bring the contents to room temperature first, then place plastic wrap down on the surface of the food to keep out air. the next day, the frozen dish slides out of the silicone bowl easily, if you just hold it in your warm hands for a few moments.

This might work for you, but the bowls are very flimsy and quite unstable when full. They might tip before the contents are frozen. This would make quite a mess in your freezer. I think that I would choose a square container such as ; http://www.amazon.com/Sterilite-03018602-Ultra-Seal-Container-Phthalate-Free/dp/B002ZJ5L7Q/ref=pd_sim_k_5?ie=UTF8&refRID=0HSK1H0NDGX6FSD08P89 This container would sit squarely in the freezer until frozen and after popping out the contents, locking in a zip lock bag, the shape would store much more efficiently in the freezer. Sorry that I can't be of more help to you.

I haven't tried that with this set. I have done individual servings with a muffin silicone. With pre coating with spray oil and warning the underside to get them to release worked well. These are thicker and better quality so I'm thinking it would work well.

Yes, but it is more efficient to cook more than you need and then just freeze the leftovers for other recipes. I usually freeze extra grains in 2-cup measures in labeled ziplock freezer bags.

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 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.

I would say no. I use old ice cream buckets for that. I don't think they are made for the freezer.

I have used them to freeze leftovers. As long as there is enough room left for the contents to expand when frozen, it should be fine.

I really don't see how it could. Heating the food and putting it in the jars, and then metal lids on it that seal as it cools.....I don't see how this would work. Maybe if you rigged something with tubing? Look it up on utube....It works great with the bags, and the plastic containers, though.

I have not tried it like that, but I don't see why not, as long as you didn't fill it to full, and it didn't freeze to the bottom of your freezer. I am using mine right now, as I have a frozen shoulder, but I have ice in it. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It is a really nice bag.

A great idea is to first freeze liquids in a ziplock bag. Once frozen, open the ziplock, but do not remove the frozen content. Place the unzipped ziplock inside the food sealer bag with the zip facing DOWN. Seal!!

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

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

Yes, I freeze bread, rolls, pies, anything in them. I also put them in ziploc bags and everything comes out fresh. Take a hangar and when you use a bag, clip it to the hangar to re-use. I re-use all my bags but I clip them on hangars so I know that they are re-usable (nothing spilt in them etc.) I have been using for several years and have not been disappointed.

Can't imagine it wouldn't. Soup in jars seems like it would work really well. You'd need a jar adapter. If you wanted to freeze them, would probably want a baggy.

Yes, I've done it several times and had no problems. It works great to take food from freezer to fridge to use the next day. They also said freezer safe on package.

I just remove the frozen patties from the containers and store them in a zip top bag. That frees up the containers for use.

Not that I know of, but I just place a small piece of cling wrap or foil when freezing baby food. As soon as it was frozen I transferred it to a ziplock bag. This is the best baby tray I have found.

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.
