For freezers, choose pans that handle low temperatures and handling knocks. Stainless steel GN pans are a safe default. Some plastics can become brittle when frozen.

Leave headspace for liquids, sauces, and stews because product expands as it freezes.

Use tight-fitting lids where appropriate to reduce dehydration and cross-contamination, but avoid sealing items while still hot.

In both fridge and freezer compartments, keep pans and shelves arranged so you do not block airflow inside the cabinet.
