Since I'm low on kitchen space, many gadgets have to be multi-purpose for me to justify them taking up precious real estate in my cabinets. Ice cube trays fall into that category. Don't buy them new- they're usually super cheap at yard sales and thrift stores. Here are some favorite uses for this humble, often overlooked little gem!
Things to freeze:
- Leftover coffee to add to iced drinks
- Lemonade or punch to cool your punch bowl without watering down the contents.
- Extra broth or soup stock.
- Pesto
- Leftover gravy
- Fill halfway with water and add fresh herbs before freezing.
- Extra egg whites (these keep up to 6 months-be sure to thaw in the fridge)
- Leftover wine
- Lemon or lime juice
- Tomato paste
- Mini Jello molds for kids
- Soap molds
- Drawer organizer
- Craft organizer (beads, glitter, jewelry)
- Separating your weekly pills/vitamins
- Painter's palette
