Ice Cube Trays
The cheapest and most economical way to store homemade baby food is in ice cube trays. You can find them anywhere that sells kitchenware. There are many different kinds of ice cube trays ranging in size and shape and they also come in rubber or plastic. They also range in price as well, but remember it is important to save money but don't be too cheap! Buying the real cheap trays to store homemade baby food will frustrate you when it's time to pop the food out. You may end up cracking the tray in the process of getting the cubes out, or the cubes will be so small you'll have to use half the tray to get an ounce of food!
Be sure to buy trays with nicely sized cubes, usually about 8-10 cubes per tray. You can find them for a couple of bucks each. Depending on how much baby food you are making will depend on how many trays you will need. Once you spoon the baby food puree into the trays and freeze, you will then knock out the cubes and transfer them into labeled plastic bags and reuse the trays for your next batch.
How many ounces is one cube equal to?
Since ice cube trays come in different shapes and sizes, the only way to be sure approximately how many ounces a cube is equivalent to is to weigh it yourself with a food scale!
What about the kind of trays that are shaped like hearts, stars, etc.?
Does it really matter that your food cubes are shaped like little hearts or stars? Once the baby food thaws out, you won't be able to tell. So spending extra money on those cute trays are not necessary, unless you plan on using them for another purpose or you already have them.
Other Storage Containers
You can also use freezable glass jars or plastic containers with lids to store and freeze your homemade baby food. The containers with lids are very useful because you can serve your baby right from the container. They are also useful for on-the-go. Store your baby food in whatever works for you but be sure to purchase containers that are freezer safe, microwave safe, and dishwasher safe.
Storing and freezing homemade baby food in ice cube trays and then transferring them in plastic bags will not only save you money but will ensure that you have food for up to 2 months! You can mix and match food cubes or make as much or as little as you need.
