Can I use these glass jars for freezing homemade baby food?

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.

Eileen, according to several sources I found online, you can use any of the straight-sided jars for freezing food. Just be sure to keep the food below the freeze/fill line to accomodate expansion. The line on this particular jar is below the threads, about three-quarters of an inch from the top of the jar. Hope this helps.

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

Theoretically you could, but I'd have concerns with heating up from frozen and glass cracking, just like any cooking situation. You'd be much better off freezing in bags, I use Lansinoh Breastmilk bags, put the frozen bag in the fridge the night before you plan on using it or 15 min. in warm (not hot) water, transfer to bottle and heat.

The containers are designed for use in the refrigerator. We do not recommend using in the freezer.

Yes, you can put them in the freezer and you can also use them to bake or heat food (of course without lids). I don't know the exact measurements but the larger one is about 6"Lx3"Wx2"D... The larger round one is about 4" diameter x 2" deep.

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

I don't know. If you are using them for refrigerated items, or dried,, like herbs, flavored salts, etc.that would be fine. But I don't think you can can (sterlize) with plastic lids.

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 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 am using these Glass jars to store smaller amounts -of a large container- of CAVIAR in the FREEZER. They work well for that purpose.

I think your ok to use in the freezer, but don't try to heat in them--not at all like Pyrex, which can be heated. I tried to warm on stove with one of the Libbey ones and it cracked. I think these are mainly for food storage only.

I have never used them for freezing food. You can give it a try. they seem spill proof (so far).

I would imagine so if you have the special attachment lids for the jars. HOWEVER, as an avid canner myself, I would NOT recommend sealing jars of food in this fashion. The hot water bath and/or pressure canning systems do more than merely seal the jars. They kill microbes that would otherwise destroy the food and/or make people ill. This is a good unit for saving leftovers, splitting up frozen foods into smaller quantities, and preserving dried foods. I, personally, would not use it for long-term storage of fresh or wet foods.

While I haven't tried that myself with these jars, I have put class canning jars in the freezer before with no ill effects. I used them to store pre-made martinis, delicious. The key take away is that liquids expand as they freeze, so be sure to leave space for expansion. Thawing them when you finally take them out may be a bit tricky. You shouldn't use heat, because that might cause the glass to break, and you also can't use the microwave because of the metal latch. Hope that helps.

I have not used this way, but I imagine they could as long as you don't seal them tight until after the freezing process is done. Product inside jar will expand while freezing and could crack the glass if no room for the expansion. I would put plastic wrap over jar until frozen then add the lid.

I bought oxo containers that store small portions of baby food and freezed them. Any freezer friendly containers will do

Yes, I freeze food for my kids in them. None of mine have cracked. The kids are hard to take off immediately out of the freezer. But after a couple of minutes out of the freezer its fine.
