How about avocados when they go on sale. I mix a little fresh lemon juice with the avocados and freeze in ice cube trays. Great for adding to my smoothies

I use a lot of egg yolks in recipes and save the whites. Put them in ice cube trays and once frozen, pop them out and put in freezer bags. When I have 12 egg whites, I make an Angel Food cake. I also freeze leftover tomato paste in them.

You can freeze fresh, cleaned herbs by adding a bit of broth (like a sauce starter) or olive oil to each cube and they should pop out easily once frozen.

I freeze herbs in water, I leave a little space at the top as the herbs float up, and then after they freeze fill the rest of the way. Take them out and vacuum.

I use the bottle ice cube trays for just ice, also for freezing ginger juice. I process the ginger in water and then drain the pulp and freeze. This is for adding to juices that I juice.

I bought those little silicone trays from Q a long time ago and use those for garlic. I buy that in bulk and roast it all and press them in the tray. Depending on what I use it for I just toss a cube of garlic in or thaw and run it through my garlic press.

Deadeye Daisy where did you get the covered ice trays??

I have some Tupperware brand ice trays that have snap on lids. I don't know if they still make them but, if not, you can probably still find them on ebay new.

Tupperware still makes the covered trays.

Currently, they're not available through our North American catalogs. They usually show up in one of the monthly flyers during the summer months, or occasionally on short term sales. We just had them on sale in February.

I try to keep a dozen or so in stock for my customers. People usually want them when we don't have them in a current catalog.

I have a refrigerator plastic egg holder-tray which I use to make/freeze larger ice cubes.

I just make ice-cubes. I like the very small cubes & have one tray that makes ice cubes especially for water bottles. I like the easy release Rubbermaid.
