Think Twice Before Putting A Glass Jar In The Freezer. Here's Why
By KIM W.S.
Storing your leftovers in glass jars has many benefits — for example, glass is durable, long-lasting, non-pourous, and easy to clean — but these jars could shatter in your freezer.
Not only could a shattering cause an injury if it happens at the wrong time, but it also makes the food in the container unsafe to eat. So, you should take a few easy precautions.
Place hot glass jars in the fridge first to avoid sudden temperature shifts, keep lids loose, don’t let jars touch each other in the freezer, and buy freezer-safe glass containers.
