Plastic is 'bad'.

What's wrong with glass?

I use wide-mouth mason jars if I want to store something - glass is inert - no leeching.

I don't know of any inert plastic.

glass is fine in the fridge but not in the freezer. actually, i got some large square glass containers from ikea that do fine in the freezer. the lids don't screw on so when stuff freezes and expands it can push up the lid and not crack the glass.

if i don't have a glass tupperware or a mason jar i put stuff into the fridge in a bowl with a plate on top.

As far as I know, it's okay to freeze things in jars if you leave enough room in the jar before putting the lid on.

People make freezer-jam this way.
