It says not to, I was wondering if anyone had tried it. I want to freeze a meal and then cook it later in the same container.

Does it say not to reuse them? Oops I have been. Do they give a reason. The other thing that I use them for are for kids projects, they are great for putting a little paint in for the kids to dip from.

I have seen it done before...but with the quality of the plastic, you would probably only be able to use it a few times before the plastic begins to wear out due to the microwave and repeated washing.

It has recently been found that heating food in plastic containers in the microwave released cancer causing toxins into the food. I wouldn't even use those containers the first time in the microwave.

You can if you are using it for leftovers in the next day or two. There is no way to re-seal those tight enough to keep from getting freezer burn if they are kept in the freezer. We just keep reusing them for lunches for work.

it's best not to. The plastic emits small amounts of petroleum when microwaved. Toss them out. That's why its not good to use suran wrap in the microwave either. Always use a papertowel instead.

As long as you washed it out well, I don't see why you can't reuse it.
