Freezing Baked Goods w/o Plastic?

[wife2jason]

I can't seem to get away from plastics especially in this situation. When I'm dirtying dishes I figure I might as well multiply the recipes, so I that leaves extras to freeze. I tried cookie tins tonight, not surehow air tight they will end up being. Any other ideas that don't involve plastics, or do you still use zip-locks and tupperware even though avoiding plastic for warm foods?

I still use plastic in the freezer. Both ziplocks and tupperware. I just don't have enough freezer-safe glass or metal type containers to deal with the amount of stuff that I freeze. Not to mention that even though I have the side-by-side freezer AND a 14cft upright freezer, I always seem to be low on freezer space. I can't squeeze the air out of a glass jar and make it smaller because it is only half full, you know?

I just don't heat in them, ever. The most heat that the plastic containers get while they're holding food is that sometimes I'll run them under slightly warm water in the sink so I can loosen the food from the container. I figure that there is minimal leaching from the plastic into the food as long as it isn't heated.

We wrap stuff in waxed paper, then wrap that in foil. If it is something loose like soup, casserole, etc. we freeze it in a glass dish then take it out and wrap it once it is frozen solid.

We use glass pyrex tupperwares. They work really well, and we have been able to be an almost totally plastic free household since purchasing them, since storage was a big issue. I also use little Ball glass canning jars for freezing baby food size portions for DD.

We use pyrex for something that will go from freezer to oven or stove, but for chopped veggies or fruit we line ziploc bags with natural parchment paper - freezing the veggies or fruit on a parchment paper-lined jelly roll pan first.
