Reply #11: I've got plastic peanut butter jars I use for freezing stuff

[csziggy]

Some of those jars are older than members of this forum! They don't even make that size anymore. It's too bad, because they hold a good 4-6 servings, have nice straight sides so the stuff slides out once it is partially thawed, and they are sturdier with tighter lids than any other freezer containers I have ever used.

We reuse many of our plastic containers - in fact, I favor some brands because their containers are sturdy enough and have good lids rather than ones that are super flimsy with peel off lids. Once the containers get scratched up, I put them into the recycling, but by then they have already been reused many, many times.

We also wash our plastic cups and cutlery. SOlO brand plastic cups and dishes can go through the dishwasher as well as their cutlery, at least on the top rack.
