I have found some just crack, even if not filled up. I use freezer bags, even for soup, and also reuse Talenti gelato containers, which have a sturdy lid. It helps that I have a friend who is addicted to Talenti, and is glad to get rid of the evidence.

Just don't overfill glass so ot has room to expand. 1WorldHope Nov 23 #2
