The plastic is brittle, the seal will shrink in the freezer; I would expect cracking but have not had that happen. The plastic used says ">PCTG<" so I assume it is not recyclable. PS, be careful, if you over pressurize it they explode.

I have no problem with them in the freezer for a short period. Like any frozen glass it can burst when handled, use caution. Joe

I have never put them in the freezer, I googled it and it says you can - says they are dish washer safe to just not microwaveable

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

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

Have not attempted this, but I feel confident that they would hold up for a single use if they went immediately into the freezer. I am equally confident that they would NOT hold up for more than a single use and/or if the water were significantly hot when put into the container. Hope that helps.

They are, but the plastic is brittle while cold, and if a container is in the freezer is dropped, it will crack. This was an issue for us while we had a side-by-side refigerator-freezer, and it would be with a top-freezer, but not that our freezer is on the bottom, I am less concerned about our supply of these containers dwindling. Now I am looking to replace the ones that have broken over the years, because these are useful containers, and how else are you going to store so many in such a small space?

I am using them in my Freezer. Works great! I believe they have a max temp - hot and cold.

we used to store for days in the freezer with no problem. The only issue we have is that they are pretty fragile - one drop on the floor and they will be done. I have re-ordered though overall satisfied.

I'm not sure if they are freezer safe, I haven't had mine for very long and the tabs have already broke off. The only thing that I could see being an issue would be making the plastic more brittle and break more easily.

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

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 did freeze them. I have reused them for a couple of different parties and the freezing helped preserve their life. So I assume refrigeration would work as well. Hope this helps. Have a great weekend.

They are reuseable! You can heat them up or freeze them as many times as you need to. I have a set that I freeze and a set I warm up.

I don't use them in freezer but I see where others do. They work good for recycling

A bit late... behind in email... I wouldn't suggest using them in freezers. My experience was not a good one in that seal was poor, and that did not involve any sort of refrigeration. For putting stuff in a freezer, a FoodSaver is best. Of course, that has its limits in sizes.
