[quote=Anonymous]Be careful using them for freezing liquids.  Put them in the freezer open on top until the liquid freezes, then put the lid on.  If you put the lid on first, the expansion of the freezing liquid can crack or shatter the glass.

That said, I still use them (quart size) for freezing stock, because I find them more convenient than doing it in freezer bags (which others have recommended).  I just accept that occasionally I'm going to lose a quart to cracking.

Get a canning funnel--a wide, metal funnel with a mouth the size of the canning jar.  Very cheap, and so convenient.

An alternative for freezing liquids is the French working glass--it comes with plastic lids, and it's thicker and won't break.

I got a bunch at Ikea; you can also find them at crate & barrel, williams sonoma, etc.  But I don't like it as well as the canning jars that are quart size and have marked measurements on the side.[/quote]
