how do you store food in your freezer?

[2anddone]

Hi I am looking for advice, I posted on here the other day that I am intending on cooking some meals and freezing them for when my friend has had her baby.
I have some of the small Chinese takeaway silver containers with the cardboard lids but I need to use a couple of larger ones for the casserole and cottage pie. I have found some good size foil containers but no lids are with them! Would it be ok once the food is cooked in these containers and cooled completely if I then covered the top completely in tin foil and stuck a label on to say what's inside? Would this prevent freezer burn if I am extra careful to not leave airholes? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have x

Personally, I would still use the smaller tins, as they are handy one portion sized. We do a lot of batch cooking and I have piles of those tins in the freezer. The beauty of the individual sized ones, is that everyone can have something different for dinner, if they please!

I use beakers, plastic containers with lids (from poundshop - like the noes you get from the Chinese for rice) and small tin foil containers with lids.

I would wrap them really, really well so as not to spoil the meal. Also you could cling film once wrapped to be extra careful.

I do this, then store several in a large freezer bag.

And I think Lakeland might sell the large ones with lids?
