I use it almost daily to freeze the puree and stewed my baby. It takes about 8 hours to be able to unmold the portions and store in a freezer bag. Portions a bit small, it must be thawed 3 to the diet of a baby of 8 months. I had to buy a second one because I much cooking. They wash easily both manually only machine. Small flat, the lid is not sealed, so they put the flat mold in the freezer. I am delighted with my purchase.
