My Kitchen Hacks - Freezer Cubes

 


Freezer Cubes: My Favorite Kitchen Helper Lately

I’ve been really loving these square silicone 2-cup freezer cubes. They’ve become one of my go-to tools for saving food and cutting back on waste in the kitchen.


What I like most is how easy they are to use. Once something’s frozen, I just pop the cube right out—no sticking—and seal it up without making a mess. I label the bags, toss them in the freezer, and they stack up nicely so I still have room for other things. I only have two of these cubes, but I use them all the time.




When I’m ready to use something, I just drop the frozen cube into my Instant Pot or Crockpot. No need to thaw—just let it melt down while everything cooks. Super easy.


So far, I’ve frozen:

  • Chicken stock

  • Ham stock (some with ham bits)

  • Pinto beans (perfect for chili or refried bean burritos)

Next I’m thinking about doing chopped veggies for soups or even making vegetable broth from the stuff I usually toss—like ends and peels.

It feels good to save and use what I have, especially with a 16-year-old boy in the house who eats like a grown man. Anything I can do to stretch meals and save money helps.

Just wanted to share in case it gives someone else a good idea too!
