Transform Your Freezer Organization with These Affordable Silicone Trays

Batch cooking on Sundays is my go-to for saving time during the week, but figuring out the best way to freeze my creations has been a challenge.

That's why I was thrilled to discover silicone Souper Cubes recently. They tackle the problem of freezing soups and stews without cluttering up my freezer with containers.

It's a fantastic way to maximize your slow cooker's potential.

Why Souper Cubes Are Perfect for Batch Cooking

Made from food-grade silicone, these trays are free of harmful chemicals like BPA. They're easy to clean, perfectly portioned, and reusable for hundreds of uses — even in the oven without the lid. Plus, the lid keeps unwanted freezer odors from affecting your meals.

These silicone trays are a smart switch for any health-conscious kitchen. Their durable material prevents tears, while the steel rim ensures smooth handling, and the BPA-free lid seals out freezer smells.

A friend of mine, Lindsey, who works in ecommerce, recommended these to me. She's found them invaluable for freezing and storing food without wasting precious space.

Lindsey shared, 'I was fed up with running out of containers and struggling with freezer and cabinet space. I thought Souper Cubes, also found on Amazon, seemed a bit expensive, but they've saved me so much time and hassle that they're worth it.'

'Who wants to deal with a mountain of plastic containers every time they batch cook? Two Souper Cubes and a few silicone freezer bags have replaced a whole cabinet full of plastic boxes.'

Depending on the size you choose (half cup, one cup, two cup, two tablespoon), you can store up to four cups in a single tray. They can go in the dishwasher and are oven-safe without the lids up to 400°F.

However, due to their steel supports, they aren't microwave-safe. You can thaw food overnight in the fridge or use your microwave's defrost setting.

Simply place the cube in a microwave-safe dish, cover it with an anti-splatter lid from Amazon, and reheat directly from frozen.

What Customers Appreciate About Souper Cubes

Customers who bought Souper Cubes on Amazon have rated them 4.8 out of 5 stars, with 88% of 22,199 reviews giving them five stars.

A verified customer, 'Wendy Upadhyay', praised them with five stars, declaring them 'Super Souper Cubes.' She added, 'Fabulous! I purchased three configurations of the Souper Cubes and love how easy they are to fill, store, and pop out the frozen portions. High-quality materials make them highly efficient.'

Edith called them the 'Perfect Kitchen Tool' and shared how they help her family, saying, 'These cubes make it easy to freeze leftovers and keep my freezer organized! Everything releases perfectly, and baking mini loaves has become so much easier.'

Not just for batch cooking, one customer on Amazon commented, 'These are fantastic. Whatever I freeze pops right out. Perfect for singles or empty nesters, and they clean up easily. Great for batch cooking!

Creative Uses for Souper Cubes

These trays are incredibly versatile. Here are some clever ways to utilize them for efficient food storage:

• Portioned meals like soups, stews, rice, and more
• Ice cubes, both fruity and aromatic
• Baby food servings
• Liquid freezing, including breast milk
• Homemade stocks for easy meal enhancement
• Aromatics such as garlic or ginger puree.

Souper Cubes enthusiast Lindsey shares, 'I freeze my leftovers, then transfer them to a BPA-free silicone bag available at Walmart once frozen.'

'This allows me to reuse my Souper Cubes quickly, and the compact blocks of food take up less space in my freezer. I can defrost a healthy meal every morning without needing to cook every day. So many wins!'

One of her favorite hacks is using smaller cubes for 'soup concentrate' — pureed veggies and spices without the broth.

'This saves even more space than freezing a whole soup,' she explains, 'and each section is perfect for two people (or one very hungry person). Just toss it into hot stock and let it boil, no need to defrost.'

Previous Freezing Solutions

As a busy mom managing a disability, batch-cooking is my lifeline to providing wholesome meals made from scratch.

After cooking a large meal, I've tried various freezing methods. Initially, I used plastic containers but soon switched to BPA-free options to avoid microplastics.

Next, I tried silicone bags but found them tricky to clean after saucy meals, as they wouldn't stay open to dry properly.

Eventually, I opted for glass containers from Amazon that can go in the microwave, freezer, and oven. They work well, but they waste space when not full, and buying enough can be costly.

That's why I'm excited about Souper Cubes. You can freeze individual portions, and once solid, transfer them into your favorite food storage bags or containers.

You can reuse the Souper Cubes for more batches, keeping your food safe while you freeze meals over a couple of days.

Lindsey said, 'Souper Cubes have transformed my meal prep. I love cooking, but not every night after a long day. Batch cooking is much easier with these space-efficient containers. I was so impressed, I gifted sets to my family for Christmas.'
