9. Buttermilk:
If you don't use buttermilk often, freeze the leftovers in ice cube trays. This way, you can easily thaw small amounts for baking or cooking.
10- Broth:
Just like chicken stock, any type of broth can be frozen in ice cube trays. These cubes are perfect for making small amounts of gravy or adding flavor to dishes without opening a whole carton.
11 - Gravy:
Leftover gravy can be frozen in ice cube trays and used later to add flavor to dishes or serve with meat and potatoes.
12- Pesto:
Homemade pesto is delicious, but it doesn’t keep for long in the fridge. Freeze it in ice cube trays and pop out a cube whenever you need a quick pasta sauce or sandwich spread.
How to Freeze and Store
- Freezing: Once you’ve filled the ice cube trays, place them in the freezer and let them freeze completely.
- Storage: Once frozen, pop the cubes out and store them in labeled freezer bags or containers. This step saves space and allows for easy access.
By using ice cube trays to freeze these ingredients, you not only extend their shelf life but also create convenient, ready-to-use portions that can simplify cooking and meal preparation. This method is a practical and efficient way to reduce food waste while keeping your kitchen stocked with essential ingredients!!
