How do you store them after they are frozen? Do you move them into a different non plastic container or leave them in the trays?
We have some of these but I haven't used them yet b/c I am not sure what to put them in after freezing and if it's a ziplock it doesn't seem like this beats vacuum sealing. I am looking for some ideas because I would also like to cut down on plastic.
I kind of do both. You can leave them in the tray, since they have a lid.
It beats vacuum sealing cause you can put like 20 servings of food in one big bag, but they remain separate servings that you can thaw one at a time. I often just use a zip lock, but I just reuse the same one over and over again.
I use them for freezing stock, and it's nice to know that each cube is 125 ml.
