If you spray your plastic containers with Pam os another spray oil, they will not stain with tomatoe products.

How do you store your sauce in the freezer; in freezer containers or ziploc freezer bags? How does one get the tomato stain from plastic freezer containers? Maybe ziploc freezer bags is the answer?
