What do you freeze food in?

[chickenfeet]

I freeze a lot of food - leftovers, batch cooking or bulk-buying meat - and usually use foil containers, cling film or plastic zip-lock bags. Someone I know remarked recently that you shouldn't use foil, so I did a bit of research online and came across a lot of stuff on contamination of food when using foil or plastic. Now I am slightly alarmed that I have been potentially poisoning my family

I have always used plastic, tupperware type containers. We are all still alive so will continue to do that...

I use foil and also take away plastic box things, sometimes foil cartons.

When freezing meat or cakes (i.e. not things which have a lot of liquid) I wrap it in greaseproof paper first and then put it in the plastic bag (which most of the time I remember to label).

Greaseproof paper sounds ok but apparently that can have nasty chemicals on it too.
I should really stop googling things.

The freezer.

you think foil, cling film and greasproof paper are dangerous?

you should google Dihydrogen Monoxide.

yeah that stuff is nuts, piglet, you should see the hazcard...

But do tell (can't bear to google)

It is a material which is widely used in the defence industry, and in nuclear reactors. It causes thousands of deaths every year, mostly through inhalation. All cancer sufferers are known to have had long-term exposure to it. Habituated users invariably die if they are prevented from using it for more than a week two. It is a major component of acid rain and if uncontrolled can destroy homes and even small towns.

However there are no legal controls to prevent it escaping into the environment, and it is thought to exist in almost all homes where there are young children. Are you willing to join the campaign to restrict or ban its use?

Dihydrogen monoxide is water. H2o

Parade well and truly pissed-on.

I was hoping for a nice campaign there

Ice cream boxes, DD2 provides an endless supply.

Ok, point taken. As you were......

Chinese takeaway cartons, the plastic ones.

Plastic bags or proper freezer bags, never thought about chemicals really
