Freezing Homemade Food? - Page 3

I use the tommee tippee pots for meals, but for storing pureed carrots/sweet potato etc I put them in ice cube trays, and once frozen I pop them out into freezer bags and write on the bag what they are and when they have gone bad.

Limited freezer space here too and its' worked well for us. I just label the bags with the contents and dates so I know what is what

I bought glass food storage container shown in this picture.. the ones that I got are the smallest one which fit as a meal. A friend uses glass ones, and told me it is much better. Dont know why but I prefer glass ones too. I am only freezing batches for 3 days though. Havent started, but will in the next couple of days.

I got the little pots with lids. I love them and if you have no room you can slot them in between your stuff rather than keep them on the tray. Im also not heating in the pots as the mixed reviews tended to be along the lines of they are brittle. Which I think if heating AND freezing they will go brittle. So we get out the morning we need them let them defrost naturally and heat up in her bowl.
