Top Baby Food Freezer Storage Containers

If you just want to cut straight to the chase – these are our absolute favorite storage containers for baby food.

Baby Food Trays

WEESPROUT Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray – great 10-sectioned baby food tray that holds 1.5oz each, but has a 1 oz fill line for smaller portions. Is made out of premium food-grade silicone and has a plastic lid for easy stacking. These trays or worth their price and we would recommend getting a couple of their fun color trays so you can easily stock up on your homemade baby food.

4 Pack of Silicone Ice Cube Molds Tray with Lid – This is a newer purchase for us and so far the quality has been great and you can’t beat the price for 4 trays! The trays are made out of food-grade silicone and BPA-free plastic and each cube gives you 1oz of baby food.

Glass Baby Food Storage

WEESPROUT Glass Baby Food Storage Containers – We absolutely love these jars! You get 12 colorful glass jars that hold 4oz each. Great for storing baby food purees as well as yogurts, overnight oats, chia seed pudding for toddlers and kids. While the price is a little high, you will get many years worth out of these jars. Well worth the investment in our opinion.

Babymoov Glass Food Storage Containers – I love that this set comes with two different sizes of containers – 4oz and 8oz. This is great if you have a baby that is a bigger eater and needs more than an ounce or two of purees at each meal.

Plastic Baby Food Containers

WEESPROUT Leakproof Baby Food Storage – just as amazing as their glass jars, just with a smaller price tag! This set comes with 12 colorful 4oz jars made out of BPA free high-quality polypropylene plastic. I also love that this plastic version is easier (and lighter) to toss into your diaper bag for a quick baby meal on the run.

Other Helpful Tools
  • Stasher Bags – these silicone reusable bags can hold your frozen cubes of baby food purees.
  • ZipLock Bags – another option for storing your frozen purees in.

How to Freeze Baby Food

When making homemade baby food purees, your freezer is about to become your best friend, allowing you to keep several weeks’ worth of baby purees at the ready.

For more information on how to make your own baby food, check out my Ultimate Guide on Making Your Own Baby Food!

  • After making your puree, let it cool until just warm.
  • Spoon the puree into your choice of baby food storage container.
  • Cover your container with a lid or plastic wrap, and place in the freezer.
  • Let the puree freeze completely before you crack the purees out of the tray and place the cubes into a plastic freezer zip-lock or stasher bag. If using jars, the frozen purees would stay in the jars.
  • Label each bag or jar with the name of the puree and the date you made it.

How to Thaw Baby Food

Thawing may seem like a no-brainer, but it never hurts to know your options. There are three different ways to thaw purees:

Microwave

Take the frozen puree cubes that you want to serve out of your freezer, place them in a glass container, and microwave in 20-second increments, stirring every time. The puree is ready when it is just warm to your touch.

Grab two clean spoons, one for you and one for your baby, and test your puree before serving.

Some infants like their puree cold, warm, or really warm, and some will devour it no matter the temperature. You will get to know your baby’s personal preferences as the two of you bond over food.

Fridge

This one takes the longest time, but it is a great alternative to using a microwave.

Take the frozen puree cubes you want to serve out of your freezer, and place them in glass containers with airtight lids and leave in the fridge for 12 to 16 hours. Do not leave the puree in the container to thaw on the counter or anywhere out of the fridge, as bacteria will start to grow at a rapid rate – which is definitely not good.

The puree will be cold but thawed, so if your baby likes her puree warmed, you’ll have to finish the job using the microwave or stovetop method.

Stovetop

In the smallest saucepan, you can find, place the frozen puree cubes you want to serve, and gently thaw them on medium-low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can you store homemade baby food?

You can store homemade purees in the fridge for up to 5 days or up to 4 months in the freezer. For small finger foods, depending on the item, you can store those in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Is it better to store baby food in glass or plastic?

You can do either! Just make sure to use plastic containers that are BPA-free and container no scratches or dents. To keep the plastic in tact, be sure to wash the containers by hand and do not place in the microwave.

6 Expert Tips on Storing Baby Food
  • Do Not Overfill: it’s important not to overfill any baby food storage container as the purees will expand slightly when freezing.
  • Label Purees: in order to know what you are feeding baby, it’s important to label your purees while they are freezing in the storage containers and when they are stored in freezer bags. Make sure you put the name of the puree as well as the date you made it on. Putting the date on it helps you remember when the puree will expire.
  • Keep Some/Freeze Some: whenever you make a puree, put several ounces in the fridge for your little one to enjoy that week, then freeze the rest of the batch for her to finish up at a later date.
  • Dedicate Space in Freezer: I found it helpful to dedicate a certain space in the freezer (a shelf or drawer) just for your homemade baby food purees. That way you don’t have to go rummaging around your freezer trying to find a puree when your baby is already hungry for dinner. I also found this helpful so that I could take a quick look in my freezer to know exactly how much purees we had on hand and when I would need to make some more.
  • Have Multiple Storage Containers on Hand: while not cheap, having multiple storage containers on hand is really needed to be able to have a good freezer stash of your own baby food. I usually recommend having at least 4 storage trays or 2 sets of jars. This way you can make and store a good amount of purees for the weeks ahead. With the trays, you will freeze the purees in them and then once frozen you can pop out the cubes and place them into a freezer bag, thus leaving you with more trays to work with. For the baby food jars, you will freeze the purees in the jars but they do not pop out, you have to thaw and serve the purees in order to get the jar ready for the next round of food. Either work great, just depends on how you work in your kitchen.
  • What to Look For: regardless of which jars or trays you go with, look for a freezer-safe and dish-washer-safe brand, cuz I know you have better things to do than handwash dishes!

I bought a set to test out as reusable containers for my breast milk and I am not disappointed!! I love that they’re able to hold a good quantity of milk even more so than the baggies and the main reason I got them is because I can easily just wash them and reuse them…. they fit perfectly fine and could be easily stacked so I’d say they’re the perfect size!! The lid is a twist on so you don’t have to worry about leaks at all which was another important thing for me very easy to use clean and reuse… the best part is I can use them for this now and later on when needed I can use them for other things so I’ll be getting my money’s worth with them.

Heat resistance of glass containers and how to improve it

Content of the article:

  • Which glass container can be considered the most heat resistant?
  • Processes occurring in glass during temperature changes
  • What can affect the heat resistance of glass containers?
  • Product Glass Temperature Code
  • Methods for improving the heat resistance of glass
  • Heat-resistant glass jars and bottles in the Glavsteklotara trading house

Such a glass parameter as heat resistance is of great importance, since it is on it that the ability of the finished product to withstand sudden changes in temperature depends. In jars, bottles and other containers, when stored under such conditions, stress arises, which leads to cracking of the glass.

Which glass container can be considered the most heat resistant?

High-quality glass products have high heat resistance, and it is higher for thin-walled jars and bottles. Optimum performance has glass with a high content of silica, titanium and boron. The lowest resistance to temperature extremes is observed in objects made of glass mass, to which oxides of sodium, calcium and lead were added in large volumes. nine0003

Ordinary glass does not differ in particular heat resistance, the indicators fluctuate in the range of 90-250 degrees. At higher positions is quartz glass (800-1000 degrees). To increase these indicators in production, products are fired in special furnaces. By the way, crystal has even less resistance to temperature fluctuations than ordinary glass.

Processes occurring in glass during temperature changes

When the material is cooled, its outer layers tend to reduce their volume, but they are prevented by the inner layers, which do not cool down quickly due to the low thermal conductivity of glass. Therefore, stress is formed in the walls of products, leading to their destruction. When heated, a similar thing happens, only the layers instead of compression tend to stretch. nine0003

What can affect the heat resistance of glass containers?

A lot also depends on the shape of the bottles and cans. Heat resistance is lower for products with sharp, sharp corners. In turn, its durability directly depends on the resistance of glass containers to temperature extremes.

The thermal performance of finished products must be paid attention to those who are going to use them in conditions of a sharp change in temperature. And this is not only about rooms with a special microclimate somewhere in the enterprise, because in everyday life we ​​sometimes subject glassware to similar tests, pouring, for example, boiling water into a cold mug or pouring cold water into a hot glass baking dish. It is especially difficult for glass objects in the open air, as they are affected by sunlight, rain and other external factors. nine0003

The thermal performance of cans and bottles is also influenced by their different features:

  • modulus of elasticity;
  • coefficient of thermal expansion;
  • material homogeneity;
  • surface treatment features;
  • glass tear resistance.

The most heat-resistant (quartz) glass is now used to make dishes, but it is rarely used for the production of food jars and bottles. nine0003

Product Glass Temperature Code

Many aspects of the production of containers are reflected in the relevant regulatory documents, and this is strictly monitored at the enterprises. For example, glass juice bottles must withstand a temperature drop of at least 400 degrees. For jars for baby food, the indicators should be higher (to additionally ensure the safety of the operation of containers) - 500 degrees.

In order to check how well the glass meets the specified requirements, it is heated to certain temperatures in production and carefully examined, there should be no cracks on the material. nine0003

Methods for improving the heat resistance of glass

The main thing is to ensure a uniform distribution of thermal energy throughout the material. Not only firing products at high temperatures helps to achieve this, there are other measures. Sometimes containers are covered with an additional layer that prevents elevated temperatures from affecting the glass. The method of thermochemical hardening is also used. Another way - glass fragments are connected using a polymer adhesive that performs the task of distributing heat inside the material. nine0003

We fill the room with different smells with the help of the fragrance. For example, we take a jar, pour coffee and put it in a tea and coffee shop. Coffee drinkers are attracted by this smell and will enter the pavilion to taste the coffee as well as purchase it. nine0003

Canned coffee will fill the room with a magical aroma.

You can fill in bath salt, add water and a couple of drops of orange oil and put it in the toilet room.
In the closet, special smells will repel moths.

Flavor in a jar of salt and essential oil

Libraries, museums can use flavors to eliminate the smell of old books and furniture.
In extreme heat, this flavor brings the body to life. A similar flavor from cans must be placed in the office so that a person has the strength and ability to work and perform the tasks set by the management. nine0003

Organizer bank.

This is the most common way to use the can. We place several tall jars on the student’s table and insert pencils, felt-tip pens, markers, pens, brushes.

Storage of pencils in jars

In the creative workshop we store buttons, rubber bands, needles, threads in tall jars. Foam rubber can be glued to the lid, covered with a cloth to insert tailor's, ordinary pins and needles.

Sewing storage jars

Every man has his own corner of the house. Small items and accessories, such as nails, can be stored in jars. We pour the nails into jars, and stick a label with a number (diameter) on the jar, or simply write the number with a marker.

Jar nail organizer

The lid of the jar can be glued under the shelf and then the jar with small parts can be screwed in.
Cereals and pasta can be stored in tall jars in the pantry. Through the transparent glass, you can always see when you need to buy a new package. nine0003

Cereal organizer

In the kitchen, spices can be stored in small jars. In order not to forget, we write the name on the jar: black pepper, red pepper, for potatoes, cloves, coriander, saffron, ginger, spices for fish.

Canvas.

Who said that they paint only on paper or canvas? You can draw animals, flowers, trees, berries, even pictures on a jar.

There are ink-contours for painting on glass. Such contours have a thin nose with which you can draw thin lines.


Decorating jars with outline paint

We choose a picture on the Internet, for example, a butterfly or cut it out from a children's coloring book. We attach on the inside with adhesive tape. Take a black outline, outline, and then paint the details with bright outlines. nine0003

If you can't draw, you can do the following. We paint over the jar with white in 2 layers. We cut out a beautiful pattern from a napkin, glue it with PVA glue. This technique is called decoupage. Opening cans of paint or adding them to the palette.
