DESCRIPTION

Exclusive to Tupperware, our specially designed Freezer Mates® storage containers feature rounded corners and edges to help you save space in your freezer, and a more flexible material to unmold frozen items with ease.

Our innovative PLUS stain guard on the inside of each container helps prevent staining from soups, stews, sauces, and so much more. You'll marvel at how neatly the modular containers stack to help keep your freezer shelves organized and clutter-free. When not in use, nest the containers to save room in your storage drawers or cabinets.

With so many different sizes to choose from, you'll always find the perfect container to meet your freezer storage needs.

BENEFITS

• Fast freezing: Slightly arched bottom enables optimal cold air circulation around the container for faster freezing.
• Keeps food fresh: The tight-fitting seal helps protect your food from the dry air, prevents spillage, and stops odors from other foods seeping in.
• Neat and organized: Freezer Mates® are modular, so you can organize your fridge however you like, and the colored seals help you categorize your food.
• Durable, flexible containers: Material adapts as your food expands during freezing, resists cracking and breakage up to -13°F/-25°C, and allows easy unmolding of frozen food.
• Purposeful pattern: Etched snowflakes on the outside of each container not only indicate it’s safe to put in the freezer, but also enhances grip when container is damp with condensation.
• No more stains: Our unique Color Control technology helps prevent staining on the inside of the container from high-staining ingredients like tomato sauce, carrots, or turmeric.
• Maximum fill line: Etching inside the container lets you leave enough space for food to expand during the freezing process.
• Space saving: Feet and seals work with each other to stack securely in the freezer. Empty containers nest to save space in your cupboard when not in use
• Saves time: Prepare meals in advance to enjoy later that week or on those days you just don’t have time to cook.
• Saves money: Buying your meats and produce in bulk will save you money in the long run. Keep your weekly portion in the fridge, and freeze the rest for a later date.
• Versatile: Airtight seal makes them perfect for fridge storage, too.
• Sustainable: Skip disposable freezer bags.

USE & CARE

• Wash before first use.
• Dishwasher safe
• Do not use sharp or metal utensils
• Freezer safe to -13°F/-25°C
• Not safe for use in microwave
• When using dishwasher, make sure to place the seal on the top rack, and position the base loosely with no pointed or sharp items pushing against them. This will prevent deformation.
• Rinse out thoroughly before placing in the dishwasher. Residue from color-rich foods like tomato sauce can stain the outside of the container as the Color Control is only on the inside of the base.
• To optimize storage space in your cupboards, nest the containers by placing taller containers into flatter containers. For bases of the same height, place the smaller containers into the wider containers. Store unsealed when not in use.

TIPS

• When stacking food like fillets or patties to freeze in one container, place a small sheet of parchment paper between each item to prevent sticking and to enable individual removal.

• Keep food fresh longer. Freezing slows down the chemical and microbiological processes that cause foods to spoil and lose nutrients.​
• Save money. Buying in bulk is cheaper than buying in smaller quantities. But storing those extra portions can leave your freezer crowded and messy. Freezer Mates® are perfect for storing extra fish, fruits, and vegetables with ease.​
• Save time during your busy work week with batch cooking. Cooking large quantities of stews and other meals over the weekend saves time during the week. Freezing portions lets you enjoy prepared meals beyond the same week.

• Freeze only clean, fresh food.​
• When freezing cooked food, allow it to fully cool before placing into the freezer.​
• Fill containers to max fill line to allow space for expansion during the freezing process.​
• For larger quantities, portion food into separate containers beforehand. This will speed up the freezing time and when it's time to eat, you'll have the exact amount you want to use.​
• Locate the freezer’s coldest zone/drawer (read the appliance leaflet) and place the specific food in that zone for faster freezing.​
• The secret to excellent results with vegetables is to blanch them in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes. After blanching, cool the vegetables quickly in ice water before freezing. This process will kill most of the microorganisms that can be present and disables enzymes that can cause deterioration.​
• Always label food containers so you can easily identify what's in your freezer.​

• Thaw food in the fridge overnight, or transfer food to a microwave-safe container to defrost in the microwave on low power/wattage. Do not put Freezer Mates® containers or seals into microwave.​
• Do not thaw at room temperature; this can promote growth of harmful microorganisms.​
• Never re-freeze thawed food.​
• Once food is thawed, be sure to eat it within the recommended timeframe
