Cooking releases stress, save money and time. What a win, win , win situation. I learn to cook by watching other people's video clips on CZcams and yours truly amazing
Wallaaii Yehoun Thank you, thank you! I'm so glad you're enjoying them :)
Make sure you don't have extreme temperature changes. For example if you have a jar full of boiling soup...Don't put it into a bowl with ice water or the jar will crack. Put the jar into a bowl with coolish water and gradually add ice.. Then you won't have any accidents.
I was dumb I’m young and dumb I’m trying put a drink and freeze it
Enjoy watching and learning from upbeat channels. You are amazing. You're one of my favorites! ! Thanks for keeping me motivated and educated! !
Quick tip: Cool your soups/stews/chili/stocks/sauces before you pour them into the jars. In your kitchen sink, add a lot of ice, some coarse salt, and cold water. Then place your pot in the sink, and stir the contents of the pot. It will cool down within a matter of minutes. Then place your pot on a towel, and transfer the contents into the jars as you would normally. Cover and freeze. It's how we cool things quickly in the restaurant business. ;)
very good idea!
great idea!
Perfect for this time of year!
Mind Over Munch :D
Wish I would've watched this before my vegetable broth filled mason jars cracked in the freezer
Hey Sara! I just wanted to say that I love you and your channel so much. Everything you post is so helpful and looks so good that that I allways have to try it out. all of the food allways turns out great! My family, mostly picky eaters, love all the food and think the home hacks are so helpful. So when they say thank you, i tell them to not thank me, but to thank the talented domestic geek
Ashley Melsness Thank you so much Ashley! Your comment really means a lot to me. I'm so glad you and your family are enjoying the recipes. Please let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see :)
I've been wondering about this for a while. Thanks for sharing! Have you ever thought of doing a show on the different kinds of oils like olive, grapeseed, coconut, etc. and their smoking points and what can be cooked in them because of it?
Absolutely nailed commentary👌
Very refreshing😌
I Must show my wife, daughter & Daughter n law this vid.
Blessings

Another great tip from you. I just love all the different uses for my Mason jars.
bestjuicer.net Thanks! Mason jars are the best because they're reusable so there's no waste :)
I emailed Kilner jars in England to ask if kilner jars were suitable to freeze and was told no. Because both kilner, mason & ball jars have ‘shoulders’ it would be better to use the strait sided ones.
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I meal - prep so this video was very helpful.
Ami Nguyen So glad you liked it Ami!
This is so cool !
Thank you for the tips:))
Omg I love your channel it is so useful I love the healthy smoothies recipes they taste amazing...you are very inspirational and I am trying to start my own channel with various topics. What camera do you suggest and how do i not be soo nervous. Because my nerves get the best of me.
Awesome, I wasn't sure if they could go into the freezer. I had so much tuscan vegetable soup left over I didn't want it to go to waste. Now if only my family would return those mason jars I shared soups with lol. I only have two large mason jars left and a bunch of small ones, I'll have to buy more large ones for the future. Thanks for sharing. :)
i wanted to know if you can do a video on how to make your fruit and veggie smoothies ahead of time and freeze them in mason jars for the week ... love your channel! xoxoxo
My mom always makes really good Italian soups and some time we have a lot of left overs but now I should my mom this idea and she just went on Amazon and bought some mason jars so I think she loves the idea.

I was wondering if you can do some burrito recipes, i m going camping for a few days and i plan to make some burritos a few different ways and freeze them so they can keep my stuff cold in the cooler and then i can just grill them up when i am ready to eat.
Love your channel!!!
Melanie Yip Thank you so much Melanie!
great idea!
graham cosh Thanks Graham!
and if you're worried about flies getting into your food before you put them away like I would be if I was trying to freeze my food, then I'd suggest placing a piece of cheesecloth or paper towel over the jar, secured with a rubber band.
Michelle Miyazato Good idea. Thank you.
Very good tip very usefull
Lilia Ivancheva Thanks Lilia!
Do you have a recipe for pasta sauce? I love your recipes.
I also appreciate all the e-mails you have sent me i love you soo mich and good luck with your channel!
Lilia Ivancheva Thanks Lilia :D
I buy the large bags of frozen fruit from BJ's or Sam's Club and bring them home and put them in quart sized Mason jars. I put them in the freezer, keeping one in the refrigerator. When the fruit jar in the refrigerator is almost empty i simply remove a jar from the freezer and put it in the fridge and by the following day it is ready for eating. I love these jars because having fruit on hand keeps my family from reaching for the sweets. The frozen fruit is naturally sweet and if you want it sweeter before closing the jar put a packet or two of artificial sweetener in the jar.
That's a good idea!
Your cooking is the best 👌👌
shelbi lynn Thank you Shelbi!

Hi! Love your channel! Can you tell me what brand of Mason jars you recommend? Thanks, keep up the great work!
Ball out kerr
Very good...wish I had watched this , before I lost 2 qts of great Chilli. Just beats all. But now I know. Grrrrrrrr
If my mason jars' lid has a small opening ish in the middle for straws, can I still use it for storing?
Is it safe to use lids that have been previously used for canning with the jars which we freeze food in?
LOL. I really needed this. I just broke 3 jars this week.
cind0311 I know! I've had some explode in my freezer too. This is the best way to avoid that :)
Have you ever had them break in the freezer? I bought the ball plastic freezer cups, but I hate using plastic, and the lids to 2 out of the 4 broke down the middle. I saw some one post online to use the wide mouth straight side jars, but I see you use the regular ones. I have just been scared to do this.
Oh thank you , I didnt know how to freeze stuff in mason jars lol
How do you thaw the food from the jar when you want to heat it up and eat it?
Thanks.
Cool
MsSugaPlumPlum :D
What size mason jars do you use??
I love salads and soups for lunch but I want to sometimes switch things up. Do you have any recipes for healthy and easy wraps/sandwiches/pitas?
Martina L Hi Martina! I will definitely share some more lunch ideas soon but here are cool sandwich ideas in the meantime: Back-to-School Lunch Ideas: 3 Inspired Sandwich Ideas
doesn't the rubber gasket loose its seal from becoming cold?
What's the best way to thaw the food when you're ready to use it?
Patiences, or if you're in a rush fill a bowl with warm water and let the jar stand in it to thaw out.
Just put it in the fridge
Are all mason jars good for the freezer? Someone told me the "square" shouldered jars were good for freezing but the others were not? Is that true or were they just trying to get me to buy their jars?
I thought that the manufacture didn't recommend freezing the 32 oz and the 64 oz mason jars. The won't crack?
How do you unfreeze them? Btw I love your vids
Put them on stove flame
Oh no... I suddenly feel the need to buy more Mason Jars.....
Good for you ,in my country we don't have mason jars iam so saaad
Nayla Boucetta
Nor in my country, but you could try ordering online from ebay, amazon or party & home-ware stores. I was able to order a large set that way. Hope that helps :)
Thank you kawaiiaix,it's so kind of you,i'll try e bay,have a nice day.
Nayla Boucetta You're welcome, & Thank you, you have a nice day too :)
Will this work with milk or will milk expand more ?
How do you safely defrost them after freezing?
Patience, or if your in a rush, fill a bowl with warm water and place the jar in it.
You're :).
How do you defrost them?
how about thawing? How can you make sure they don't thaw too quickly?
I followed this step-by-step with four 1/2 gallon mason jars, leaving more than enough headroom for expansion, yet all four jars still broke! Any suggestions as to what I was doing wrong? Thanks.
I know it's been six years, but I do have a solution
When the soup freezes it expands and that inch of air creates the pressure that cracks the jar
Instead of the lid, I rubber band a handkerchief over the top of the jar until it's done freezing and *then* I put the lid on do there's no air pressure
How do u thaw the frozen food u put n the mason jar?
Patience, or if you're in a rush, fill a bowl with warm water and place the jar in it.
liz h Hi! I usually just place the jar in the fridge and let it thaw for a day. If you're in a hurry you can leave it on the counter.
Can i freeze smoothie in a Mason jar?
How do you make your crushed tomatoes and strained tomatoes?
Catherine Doyle Hi Catherine! I'll try to share that in an upcoming vid :)
For freezing the jar needs to be straight or smooth at the neck. No shoulder or curve . Wrong jar in this video to properly freeze. The shoulder or curve causes weakness in jar which isn't a good idea to freeze it may break. Smooth wide mouth is what i would choose.
How do I freeze berries in glass jars after flash freezing?
Can I use plastic containers instead of mason jars? Or the plastic containers might crack when it is kept in freezer? :)
You can use them, usually food storage plastic containers don't crack but check the bottom of the container (it's safe if you see the freeze icon). :)
Do you sterilize your jars first?
Where are you large containers on the countertop from? They look like huge mason jars!
Amber Williams They ARE huge mason jars...They're the BEST! They're 2L mason jars and I found them at my local hardware store. They come in packages of 6 :)
Where do you get mason jars I can't seem to find them
Amazon, Walmart, and Michael's Craft Store :)
I got mine at my local grocery store (No Frills). They are also usually available at Wal-Mart during the fall months.
Also home improvement stores carry them. I've purchased a box of them from Lowes
Where can you buy mason jars from instead of online
Laura King Hi Laura. Most big box and home improvement stores carry them :)
Where's that
Laura King
Every decent grocery store has them. Safeway, Fred Meyer, Kmart, Walmart, Costco, Publix, Albertsons, etc, even some dollar stores.
Okay thank you xox
Can mason jars be heated in the microwave? Of course without the lid!
Hi read that you can't heat them up. But it may help just to look it up for yourself first
When do you think your gonna post today??
Waaaaah!😫 too late! New subscriber for life here!
Just saw my new jars all cracked! With my first time vegetable broth inside....and all over my freezer!💔😣
Oh no! Hopefully these tips will be useful in the future! Welcome to the channel. If you are looking for any other tips or recipes let me know!
You're truly beautiful and love your videos and recipes. new subbie... looking forward to more.
I have had mason jars break even with lots of head space. Now I only freeze in freezer safe jars. Quart jars are not freezer safe, shame because its the most convenient size.
Totally ended this vid. Just made a huge thing of soup. Love your hair....one day I want to chop mine and go blonde too! I have a channel too.
Silvie Smiles Hi! I checked out your channel. Looks great! And your kids are ADORABLE!!! Keep it up!
Hi, how can i open a coconut?
nasser alrumaidhi That's a really good question! We don't get a lot of fresh coconut in Canada so I rarely buy them whole. Let me see if I can find any cool tricks :)
Thanks. Cz i bought one last week and until now l couldn't open it.
I think I love you! lOl
***** So glad you're enjoying the videos! Thank you so much for watching :)
What happens if refrigerate the jar without cooling it first with ice water?
Refrigerating it is fine. You can cool the jars the fridge and and then put them in the freezer :)
I see....what about filling the completely to its brim??
+nishanth guthakala The liquid expands - so it needs room to expand or it could break
+aprile boetcher But liquids shrink when cold!!
+nishanth guthakala Noooo, liquids(water) expands when frozen. That's why Ice floats
I heard it also has to be the jars that are straight, with no shoulders.
Iam crazy about those mason jars i even dreamed of them do you believe that! WE DON'T HAVE MASON JARS IN MY COUNTRY WHHHYYYY
I wouldn't advise defrosting it quickly on the counter. I've had mason jars shatter. I live in a very warm climate but was surprised that 2 jars just cracked open and I had to discard. Waste of money. Better to pressure cooker can and store on a shelf, IMHO. Best of luck, though.
