When I have leftovers I often freeze them for future meals. I'd like to get away from using plastic containers.

Anyone use glass for freezing?

I do all the time. In prep for the dry season (when it happens) I often freeze cream for use when we don't have fresh. Also freeze left overs. Allegedly it can weaken the glass but I've yet to have any issues with it. I just have to be careful when pulling glass out of the freezer not to shock it with sudden warm temps or hit it on things.

I use canning jars and glass dishes like those. Not that brand, but basically the same thing. I try not to use plastic, stuck with it in the lids though.
