Freezer tray ideas for home-made food ?

[Ian]

So far I have only used the zip lock back rolled flat method .
next time I am going to try the ice cube trays you can get for small RV fridges.
these make a cube that is less than half regular size and should be just about perfect for my needs.
We shall see
here is what I am talking about

Have you tried Lego blocks? I tried it once during my fresh water days it seemed to work well I was worried about food sticking but stuck toothpick in the food just as it was going solid and then to get out took the Lego block put it in hot water grabbed the tooth pick and out came the food on a stick some stuck but most popped right out

I got a flat Lego piece attached 2 and 4 slot pieces to the underside and filled the holes with food stuck sticks in and froze.

Only did it once as a trial and never did do it again.

I use these:



As Michika has already suggested, they are Ikea silicone ice cube trays. I like them because they are flexible so they can easily sit pretty much anything in the freezer. The fish food/mush is typically thick enough that it doesn't dribble all over the place. It's easy to extract the portions and each cube is the shape of a fishy!!

When I used to make food all the time I would have an entire freezer compartment filled with trays upon trays of food.

For a long time I did use the flat pressed ziplock bag, but I found the quality of the bags is diminishing and I had more and more leaks, blowouts, and seam failures until I had to just say enough is enough. Also ziplock doesn't contain the smell very well.

If I use ice cube trays how do I stop freezer burn?

I don't have enough fish right now to use larger units

I can't find an icecube tray with small enough units

I've heard of some peeps using eggcrate and I'll try that if need be

What other ideas are out there ?

Thanks for any input

Hey Greg I have some spare small mini fridge ice trays that I use for making food. Your welcome to a couple. Cheers Laurie

My plan is to vacuum pack everything after they're frozen and just use a handful at a time, kept in a ziploc
