I'm cooking up a big batch of baby food and would like to freeze little portions.Im very aware that theres negative reports about tupperwear...leaching plastic etc. Has anyone any ideas for me? Could I reuse the glass jars that the Earths Best baby food come in or would it shatter with the cold????? HELP!!!

I recommend using ice cube trays. That is how I do it. I freeze them in the trays and then pop them out once they are frozen and seal them up in freezer bags. Easy to store, easy to label. Good for you for making your own baby food!

The ice cube tray is an excellent suggestion. Glass jars have the advantage that they are microwave safe, but the disadvantage that they may break if overfilled and then frozen. Plastic containers won't break, but cannot be used in a microwave: local heating of the food will damage the plastic. (This is not a safety issue, however.)

You can use the jars. I have done that with my son's food or you can use an ice tray. Plastic is not going to hurt them. People have been using plastic for years with no problems.

Use the jars it comes in, you can also use plastic containers, just try using the plastic containers within 30 days

I always froze in ice cube trays and then into a freezer bag.
