One can also freeze food in any kind of container (lined with plastic?) and decant to the foodsaver bags when stiff enuf not to slop around during the vacuum process. This might solve your problem with containers after all. Edrena |

If you want the freezer-to-stovetop ceramic, you gotta buy old stuff on eBay or at thrift stores. Best regards, Bob |

I bought the French White to replace it. They are nothing like the old. They are poorly made, easily chipped and useless. Plastic tops instead of glass covers. blech I found myself a wonderful collection of the old blue cornflower on eBay a few months ago and I have been thrilled ever since. They can bury me in this stuff Boron |
