Ice Trays Are Not Just For Water. Check Out These 6 Brilliant Ideas!

However, if one thinks out of the box, the ice tray and freezer can be used for several other purposes as well. Let's take a look at them.

1 Eggs

Often, we need to throw eggs away when they get close to the expiry date since we don't always use them for preparing our meals. However, there is a better solution. Take a pair of eggs, mix them but don't whisk too much to prevent too many bubble growth. If you decided to use the blender, remember to use the slowest setting possible. After the mixing is completed, pour the mixture into a freezer bag, keeping in mind that it should contain the minimum amount of air. Then keep that bag in the freezer. Whenever you need to use eggs, take out the mixture and heat it with warm water. Keep track of the number of eggs you are using in each bag. Otherwise, the meal you are preparing might get ruined.

2 Citrus fruits

Take your favorite citrus fruit (orange, lemon, etc.) and cut them up into pieces and put them on an ice tray. Fill up with water and put it in the freezer. These can be added to your cocktails and fruit juices or even ordinary water to provide a unique taste and style.

3 Herbs

When you want to use herbs in our food, we chop them up and add them to the pan. But that requires additional work, but you don't need to do that anymore. Just put the herbs on an ice tray. Instead of water, add olive oil and put them in the freezer. Next, use them in the pan instead of chopped herbs.

4 Grapes

Sometimes, when our white wine isn't chilled enough, we put ice cubes into the wine but that dilutes the wine, and its taste is changed. In the future, if you ever face such a situation, just drop frozen grapes instead of ice cubes. These grapes have the same color as that of the wine and will also make add a unique element of style!

5 Ketchup

Many times, people often discard the remaining ketchup because there isn't any food which can be consumed with ketchup. However, instead of throwing the ketchup away, there is a better solution. Take a silicone ice tray and pour the ketchup onto the tray. If you need pasta sauce in the future, you can use those cubes.
