Every home has ice cube trays, but they usually don't go beyond freezing water.

However, you can freeze portions of other foods in the container that you might not have thought of.

Culinary expert of HERE NEWS, chef and fourth-class baker Yulia Arkhipova will tell you what products ice cube trays are suitable for freezing.

How to Use Ice Cube Trays

Let's start with the fact that you can freeze various sauces in an ice cube tray. For example, if you have extra tomato paste or sauce, freeze it and use it when you need spaghetti dressing.

You can also freeze the whites, since recipes often only call for the yolks. No problem: frozen whites can then be used in other baked goods or simply used in an omelette.

Want to keep greens almost in their original form? Chop them finely and pour olive or vegetable oil over them. Such cubes are perfect as a dressing for various soups and sauces.

To preserve fruits and berries, puree them and freeze them, then use them as an ingredient in smoothies or as an additive to porridge.
