It's cool... but, it should have been a 'tip of the day' or something. This is clearly NOT something you can 'feast your eyes' on. What's the point of organizing posts under different features unless it's consistent?

I remember when my parents first got electricity and a freezer, in the latter part of the seventies..my Mom used to freeze her cherries in the large pop bottles..she was always recycling stuff...

Before someone comments on BPA exposure, let me just say that testing has determined that you would need to eat or drink 1300 pounds of food of drink EVERY DAY for the rest of your life just to get close to the harmful levels.

As for the storage part, the mouth is too small, especially when you get a slight thaw/refreeze cycle and it turns into a brick of frozen veggies.

I think this is going right up there with my stolen "put unused egg whites into ice cube trays for later egg white needs" from Alto brown.

And leading to some fast and yummy omelets.

This is a dumb idea. What is wrong with just dispensing from the original container? And they would all stick together and you'd never get them out.

Pfft!

If you plan on using this method for dispensing berries, make sure you freeze the berries on a sheet of wax paper, separated from every other berry, before putting them into the bottles. If you just load the bottle with berries and freeze them, they'll stick together into one unusable frozen mass.

As for BPA exposure, the plastic to worry about is polycarbonate/Lexan, the kind in Nalgene bottles, not the bottles shown in the picture, which are PET bottles.

Seems inefficient to me. When you use the bag veggies come in, you can roll it up as you use them so it takes up less space in the freezer. Can't do that with bottles.
