Glass divided containers?

[gcibluebird2]

I am trying to figure out how to store pre-made dinners for my son. I have 2 sons with multiple food allergies, but the youngest (3) is on a very restricted diet (no dairy, eggs, nuts, wheat, soy, corn, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, spelt, fish, shellfish, peas, or squash...and there may be more soon).

I want to make some meals ahead of time for him and freeze them. I have some 3 compartment divided dishes, but they are all plastic. Does anyone know of any glass ones? I really don't want to freeze these meals in plastic and I especially don't want to microwave them in plastic. They are a "safer" plastic #, but still I don't want to use them.

Any ideas?

We preserve a lot of garden and orchard produce by freezing and I have struggled with this question as well. So far the best thing I have come up with is to freeze food in canning jars. I freeze ds's baby food in small 4 oz jam jars. They have a quilted pattern and are so pretty and fun! I freeze other things like pesto and roasted red peppers in larger jars.
I'm still looking for the perfect solution.
Oh, just remembered, The Container Store has some larger rectangular glass storage/freezer containers with plastic lids. Just don't fill up to the top. They aren't divided, though......

Thanks. I have a ton of pyrex storage dishes with plastic lids. I found a 2 section divided one online, but I'm not sure if I can find it locally. It's on Amazon, but not available now. These are 2 cup dishes.

I have these divided dishes. I found them at a kitchen outlet store. I got the smaller ones and these would probably be great for kids meals. There are larger ones available and I wish I'd gotten them for adult sized meals (well DH sized portions anyway ). They are great but don't stack well for storage, so make sure you have extra cupboard space.

Another option is freezing cooked food in muffin tins lined with muffin liners. Then, when they are frozen you can put them all in a big ziplock bag. And when it's time to nuke the food, you can get out individual servings, peel off the muffin liner, and microwave on a non-plastic plate.
