Something you should know about glass containers is that they are becoming more popular as storage options. This includes putting them in the freezer. What we are going to do is talk about how safe it actually is to do this. PREVENTING BREAKAGES Let's dive into how you can prevent glass from breaking in the freezer. The various forms of glass are not all manufactured equally. There are differences in the strength, thermal performance, and more. So you need to be careful to ensure you don't put glass that could shatter at freezing temperatures. In most cases it is best to use freezer-safe or tempered glass. For freezing liquids and foods, it is preferable to use these varieties of glass. The latter is very strong and will be able to handle temperature shifts with ease. HEADSPACE Another thing you can try is leaving some headspace. As water freezes, it expands. This is among the most common reasons why we see glass cracking or breaking in freezers. What you should do is leave a bit of room for expansion in your container. This will reduce the risk of breakages. THINK ABOUT THE PRESSURE Make certain you don't tighten the lids straight away too. A container's contents put pressure on the air in the container when they expand. If you seal the lid tightly, you will put the pressure on your glass. What you should do is leave the lids loose until the contents are entirely frozen. BUYING YOUR NECKRING PROFILE GAUGES At Penico Gauges, we produce high quality products suitable for mould repair.
