When using containers, they should be easy to seal and must not become brittle or cracked at low temperattires.Square and rectangular containers are more easily packed in the freeZer: Many are reusable. containers for margarine, whipped toppings and ice cream can be used for tweezing if they are made in one piece and have no seams.
