Make a week's worth of vegetable soup and thaw, heat and serve a single portion at a time. WIth there was a way to keep freezer burn from the top of each portion.I make frozen treats for my large dog and it’s hard to find trays that I can fill with more product. I use these and vary the amount I want each treat to be if needed. I also love being able to freeze extra sauces easily so I don’t waste them. I’d buy again.Works great. I use these when I cook dried beans. Freeze what's left, then put them in a freezer bag.These are perfect for those of us who meal-prep. We are a family of 2 and making giant meals in the crock-pot often makes too much for us to use. I started using these to divide up left-overs, or assemble part of of it with "fresh" ingredients to use as a freezer dump meal. I find that 1 brick is approximately 2 portions for us.That being said, I've found so many other uses for these containers - I froze smoothie bricks in them the other day (very ripe bananas, oatmilk that needed using or preservation, berries that were on the way out) - I just pull one out at night and put it in the fridge to soften a little before a zip around in the blender. So simple!Covers fit nicely, too! Study enough to make a good seal and stack, but soft enough to pop off with ease.(2 Pack) 4 Cup Silicone Freezer Containers For Soup, Pasta Sauce, Leftovers, Broth & More Reusable BPA Free Non Plastic Food Storage Freezing Trays With Lids & Measurement Lines (2 Pack)I hate to waste. One area where I tend to waste big is when it comes to juice. I like to make mixed drinks on the weekend; but even if I make drinks for me and a friend; I usually end up with a whole bottle of some sort of juice that we end up using not even 16 ounces of, when using it as one ingredient in some sort of martini.These freezer containers allow me to freeze individual portions for a night of martini making, instead of having to throw almost whole bottles of juice away because they've gone bad. These containers are super easy to clean as they go right in the dishwasher. Very conveniant. Easy to pop your frozen product out.I didn't know how versatile these silicone containers were going to be. I've used them to freeze various different items. Originally, I made a full pack of dried beans and froze the leftovers in portions in these containers. After frozen, I put the blocks of beans into a plastic bag to use as I go along. This was my original intent when getting these. I'd much rather make a big batch of dried beans and use that instead of cans. This worked out perfectly for me. I've also used it to freeze my homemade sofrito. I used to store these in Ziplocs which would sometimes leak a little of the juice into my freezer which annoyed the heck out of me. These containers took care of that! Yay! On another occasion, I used this to freeze leftover soup. This is perfect for that single serving of soup to pair off with a small sandwich.In this picture, I was attempting to make homemade soap. My new silicone soap mold hadn't arrived yet so I used this. And it worked wonderfully! I used the marked measurements to keep my soaps more or less even.Washing them was a breeze. I just use soap and water with my dish brush to get into those corners and they clean up right away. I haven't kept anything in them that long to notice any remaining smells. So far, so good.So as you see, you can use them for so many things that it makes them worth having around. They came nestled into one another so they don't even take up that much space to store in your pantry while it waits to be used once again. I would totally recommend these.These are easy and fun to use for all kinds of foods. The lid goes on well and is sturdy, and the food is fairly easy to “pop” out once frozen.I like to bake on the weekends, but can’t keep fresh buttermilk or kefir around all the time in the fridge. But I can buy a single 32 ounce bottle, which is exactly 4 cups, and divide it into this silicon freezer container and then just peel out 1 cup at a time to defrost as needed. That’s usually all that’s needed for a single recipe.Also great for single servings of homemade broths or homemade ice cream.Only negative is remembering not to hold it by the bottom or try and stack them once the liquid is in it, because the base is soft silicon and does not have structure. (Will crumple.) I have smaller ones that have a structured frame around the silicon, but once you get used to it, it’s not an issue.The silicon’s flexibility also makes it easier to store when not in use, because you can stack and/or smoosh them a little to fit into smaller spaces.These are easy and fun to use for all kinds of foods.
