Souper Cubes 1 Cup Silicone Freezer Molds with Lids, Aqua, 2-Pack

I recently purchased the 1/2 cup and 1 cup Souper Cubes and wanted to share my feedback. The 1 cup size is perfect for individual soup meal prep, homemade sauces, and broths. The 1/2 cup size is also great for freezing general leftovers and single-serving meal components like rice and pulled beef. However, my absolute favorite use for the 1/2 cup size is making large ice cubes for my water bottle. When filled to the 1/2 cup line, the ice fits perfectly into my narrow-mouth water bottle without hindering the straw. It melts slowly, keeping my water ice cold and allowing me to refill it throughout the day. Overall, these containers are very easy to use, and I appreciate that they are dishwasher-friendly. They do not retain any lingering food smells after being washed, so I never have to worry about flavors transferring to the next batch. Thank you for making such a great product!

I'm going to be honest: I don't spend a ton of time in the kitchen, I don't really like to cook all that much, I'm not big on leftovers, and I rarely rave about any kitchen gadgets, but I positively LOVE these SouperCubes and have bought multiple sizes of them and given them as gifts, as well. I have a couple of comfort soup recipes I love but are a pain to make, so when I do make them, I make double or triple batches. The problem in the past has been freezing them in large plastic containers--they take up way too much room in the freezer, and once frozen, it's super difficult to carve out a single serving, since the rest of my family isn't in love with those recipes. Even if they were, we'd still have to basically thaw the entire frozen thing and then eat the leftovers in a couple of days or it would all go to waste. These SouperCubes solve that dilemma! I can't overstate how much I love them, truly. I freeze the soup (or whatever I've made) in whichever size I need/want (and I've started making homemade pet food, too, so I can freeze portions of chicken or beef broth in the right sizes easily for making up pet meals, etc.), then once they're frozen, I pop them out of the cubes, wrap them individually in wax paper, and store them back in the freezer in freezer bags with the dates/contents written on the outside. It frees up space in the freezer and frees up the SouperCubes for more batches of other things. It's organized and so easy to pull out a single (or however many I need) serving to pop in a soup pot and heat back up in minutes for a homemade (and relatively healthy) meal. It's also helping me stay on top of making pet meals, which can be... a long process. They'd be great for making batches of homemade baby food, too, or portions of casseroles, or whatever your heart desires. They have a variety of sizes for whatever you need. I will admit these cubes are on the pricey side, so I try to wait for them to go on sale, but honestly they're worth the regular price. If I have one (minor) complaint about them, it can be a little difficult to get the food back out of the containers once it's frozen. It's very smooth, but it takes some hand strength, and my hands aren't the greatest. It helps to let the cubes warm up just slightly (not enough for anything to thaw) or to have a stronger person handy, but if you're the strongest one in your household and have difficulty, go slow, do let them warm up just slightly, and try going from one side to the other lengthwise rather than pressing in the middle and trying to pop the whole thing out at once. You can pretty much turn the whole slot inside out and it will pop back into shape and place by pressing it back in the right way, no problem. I don't know if that will create weaknesses/tears in the silicon over time, but so far I haven't had any problems with that. If you like to cook in large batches, meal prep, have a baby or pets you're making homemade food for, or anything of that nature, you need these. They'd also be great for making up batches of juice or your favorite frozen (alcoholic or not) cocktails ahead of time (for all you partiers out there--you know who you are.) Freeze and store them in the 1 cup sizes, drop one per guest into each glass to thaw a bit before they arrive, and enjoy--safely and responsibly, of course. Just be aware that with alcohol added they might stay sort of slushy, so you might need to store them in the cubes in that case and just scoop them out as needed. That's also an option for anything else if you don't need the cubes for other things right away and don't want to deal with the freezer bags, since they come with snap-on lids.

I've only had this for a couple of weeks and so far, this has proved to be a good purchase. They're sturdy, the lid seals well and I love the steel lining the lip that keeps it's shape while loading and freezing. Popping your product. out is easy peasy. Pouring things into the mold can be a challenge with loose liquid things, but the edges of the lining can be cleaned up before freezing so you don't end up with sticky lids like I did the first few times I used it. Makes saving a large batch of anything for storage easier with the shape of the molds. If there is anything I can recommend (and it's completely your choice) is get a darker color rather than a light colored mold. I found out after a few tries that when it came to cleaning them,, it didn't become apparant until after drying that despite soap and water, there was some oily residue that remained I wouldn't have seen had I picked a lighter color. However, color choice is completely up to you and some colors are a little pricier than others, but I highly doubt this will affect the performance of the molds. That being said, I love that this makes freezing anything more organized and stackable in a freezere than can get chaotic with other things that don't have boxes and odd shapes to them. Yes, your frozen product is thick and depending on what it is ,it can take some time to defrost. This is where meal prep comes in handy and portion control is easy with markings on the inside. I do wish the portion markings were on the outside too. Would I purchase this again? YES!! These are food grade silicon, so I'm not worried about plastics and once they're frozen, I transfer them to another container. I haven't yet used them in an oven and I don't really plan to even though the manufacturer says they are safe to a certain degree. I'd still would rather use glass/metal/ceramic for any actual cooking/heating of any product I place in the molds. Are they worth it? I would say yes especially when you have a small appetite or make a large batch of something you can't finish right away. before it goes bad on you. It also makes having a variety of meals available during the week so you're not stuck eating on dish for every meal. I haven't detected any odors as of yet. I love the color as it makes it easy to detect ( I went with the burgundy) if it's clean and it holds it's shape. If I have need of a larger size mold or more, I'd get this again.

I bought these because I originally got a bunch of round borosilicate food containers for regular use in the fridge, but could go in the freezer, too. But then, I got to not liking them because they slide around against each other and don't store efficiently due to their round shape. I don't relish the thought of one of them flying out of the freezer as I re-arrange them to add frozen veggies, etc., into the freezer. But voila, enter these souper cubes! They're much easier to squeeze into the top, unused portion of my freezer, without sledding down the tilted pizza box, and are still worth using even if only one of the sections is being used, because that only makes the remaining sections more flexible. I got the gray, but I wish a lighter gray or taupe was offered, because the dark gray is a little gothic and the darkness makes it more difficult to see the details of the food. These are also overpriced, but are really great quality nonetheless, nice and thick to make them strong, but not overly thick. I'll use these for regular things, and for carmelized onions, but, next, I'm going to get the four ounce size, to use for freezing compound butters (yay!) and also sauces and gravies --the four ounce size is just right for that, for myself. What a great thing these souper cubes really are, and if you can afford them or wait till they go on sale, I highly recommend them!!!

I am a soup lover and these are perfect for freezing extras. I love how perfectly they freeze, pop out and cooked. I made fresh dog food and the one cup portioned is perfect. One batch of healthy food makes 8 servings. Once these free, I will pop them out and store in a zip lock bag in the fridge. Like them so much I have multiple sizes.

Love these, but wish I would have bought the 1/2 cup version. I can still use these but takes a bit of fiddling to get the exact 1/2 cup of steel cut oats in there to the line.

These are indeed pricy, but if you use them right, you probably won’t need any more. You can freeze whatever leftovers you want in them, but they are especially good for soups, stews, mashed potatoes, and other foods with more liquid. Foods such as those are less than ideal for putting directly into a freezer bag. But with the Souper Cubes, you just fill them, freeze them, and then, once the food is frozen, you remove it (It will release easily in its block form) and put it in a freezer bag. That, in turn, frees up your Souper Cube container for the next meal you need to freeze. I debated which size of these to get, considering the price, but opted for this 4-section, 1-cup-in-each-section version. You get two trays. I find them very versatile because if you need more, you can just fill in as many sections as you need. As with a lot of products, it’s worth noting that storing tomato-based items like spaghetti can leave an orange stain on the silicone. I can tell you from experience that it took me a while to get it 98% of the stain off with baking soda and vinegar. If it does get stained, it won’t affect the ability of its storage or anything; it’s just a visual thing to be aware of if you are bothered by that. I have also been using them a lot for banana bread. Sometimes I’m left with a few overripe bananas, but I either don’t feel like making banana bread that minute, or I don’t have quite enough for my recipe, so I mash them and put them in a compartment for later. Or, you don’t even have to mash them. Sometimes I just break the banana in two and toss it in there. In the video, you can see the mashed block I easily released from one of the compartments, and there is a whole banana broken in half in the one next to it. All in all, it’s a quality product. I like them and have been using them routinely.

I love these containers. Perfect size for my smoothie. I freeze the smoothie in the container, then pop it in a shaker bottle in the AM. After a couple hours it’s thawed enough to shake and consume.

I do a lot of batch cooking and used to rely on a mix of different-sized containers I had on hand. I would freeze the meals first and then vacuum seal them. Since switching to Souper Cubes, portioning has become so much easier, as each serve is perfectly sized. They're ideal for anyone wanting better portion control or keeping an eye on their food intake. The trays are well made, stack neatly, and fit efficiently in the freezer. I would definitely recommend them.

Ideal quand on cuisine de trop on a la possibilité de fractionner les repas et de les réutiliser plus tard

These are the second size of souper cubes I've bought and have to say that any hint of them being expensive pales into insignificance to their quality and ease of use. These have liquid volume measure on the inside making it easy to get exact portions. The contents pop out easily when frozen leaving no residue and easy to clean with no staining from tomato. Highly recommended souper cubes, really worth the price

Great product that has really helped me out with meal prepping. I find this size to be perfect for single servings of soup and means I can make a batch of 8 servings at a time for freezing. Once the soup is frozen solid I can pop the cubes out (which is really easy thanks to the silicon) and store in a freezer bag so that the trays can be used again. This is also useful as the trays take up quite a bit of space in the freezer.

I've been looking for containers for meal prepping and this is definitely ingenius. I've started meal prepping since I got sick to prepare meals in advance in preparation for treatment. This has been a time saver and an organized way of storing food. Highly recommended. I'll buy the other sizes.
