Storage Containers

For those of you prepping & freezing meals. What kind of storage containers do you use?

Are ziploc freezer & storage containers perfectly fine to use?

    We got a couple of different one.

    We did get a few of the Glad container you can bake in, but went to Sam's Club and got a big stack of the aluminum baking trays. That way we can just toss them when we are done (aka less dirty dishes to wash).

    Hope that helps.

    Press and seal and ziploc freezer bags. I find without the press and seal the food can get freezer burn

    I pre-freeze then put the food in ziploc freezer bags. I debated buying aluminum pans to trash, but aluminum foil lined pans sprayed with pam work just as well for us.

    I'm using freezer ziploc bags for things like soup/sauces that can be frozen flat.  And I'm using them for chopped veggies I can use in prep for other meals too.  

    I use disposable 1.5 qt casserole dishes for casseroles.  Most recipes I have makes 3 qts... so I make a regular batch but use a smaller dish for popping into the oven and the other half goes into the disposable dish.  I cover with tin foil (usually with a dish name and directions written on it) and then put the plastic lid on and freeze.  If it came without a plastic lid, I also wrap in saran wrap. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml

    I registered for a Foodsaver machine, and will end up getting it myself if we don't have it by June.  I HATE freezer burn, and have yet to figure out how to prevent it with ziplocks, tin foil, parchment paper, etc.  Everything is always covered in frost, and I refuse to eat it.  Hopefully the suction and the seal will prevent this!

    That's what I do.  I line my casserole dish with tin foil, then assemble the dish.  Then freeze for a day or two.  Take out, wrap tightly with foil and saran wrap, stick in a gallon bag.

    When I want to bake it, I put it back into the glass/metal casserole dish and bake it in there.  That way, my real dishes aren't in the freezer for weeks.
