Frozen Food Containers are built to keep food at very low temperatures, typically between -10°F to -40°F (-23°C to -40°C). They also help maintain the food’s quality, texture, and flavor. These containers are made from cold resistant plastics such as PP (polypropylene) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene). These plastics can also be certain grades of PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The containers are specifically designed to resist cracking and warping at low temperatures, enabling the containers to remain usable and effective through long periods of time of food storage. One of the most important parts is the container’s airtight seal, which is achieved through snap-on lids with silicone gaskets or screw-on lids. These lids form an airtight and watertight barrier that protects the food from moisture and air. Without proper storage, frozen food can suffer from freezer burn. This is very common for frozen foods, and it degrades the food by drying it and changing its flavor.
As previously mentioned, frozen food containers are offered in different shapes and sizes. They range from small containers which hold individual portions of sauce and herbs to larger containers which holds bulk items such as stew and family-sized meals. Additionally, a lot of these containers are stackable and have uniform shape and dimensions which help maximize spatial storage in freezers. Some of the containers even have transparent bodies which are helpful to identify the contents inside without having to open them, thus reducing temperature fluctuations.
Certain types, such as CPET containers, are oven and microwave safe which makes these types of containers even more convenient as no transfer of food is required. They are made from CPET grade food-safe materials which are BPA free and toxic chemical free, these containers do not allow any harmful chemicals to seep into the food, even after multiple freezing and heating processes. Whether in residential kitchens for DIY frozen meals or in businesses for portioning and distributing commercial frozen meals, frozen food containers are a practical solution for extreme cold storage and provide easy reusability without compromising food quality.
