Stupid question re: freezing foods

[johnnie]

Is it ok to use those containers that you buy "butter" in. The tubs. Or don't they seal enough?

Yeah, my life can be boring once in a while..LOL.

1. Short term, yes

Longer term things will get freezerburnt faster in them.

2. Thanks

I'm just too lazy to put the food in freezer bags..lol.

Oh, I slay me...

[johnnie]

4. Can you explain "rapping" to me?

I slay myself too.

5. America's Test Kitchen recommends recycling those type of containers.

They tested them against Tupperware, Rubbermaid and some other brands and they determined the recycled containers worked just fine for food storage. I tried to link to the article, but it's "expired" and no longer on their website.

6. Cool

Thanks. I figure they should be ok, but I wasn't sure if anyone else ever used them.

7. I sometimes put plastic wrap directly on top of the food

before putting it in a container, especially if there's quite a bit of air space. :)
