Let me start by saying this silicone freezer tray has been a game-changer for my baby food prep routine. The flexibility of the silicone makes it super easy to pop out individual portions – no more wrestling with ice cubes or chiseling frozen puree like some sort of Arctic sculptor.
The 3-ounce sections are perfect for baby-sized meals, and I love that they fit neatly into those trendy glass jars you see everywhere. Meal prepping is now a breeze – I can make a big batch of sweet potato or pea puree on Sunday and have ready-to-go meals all week.
Now for the not-so-great parts: that lid situation is real. The clips look sturdy but don't actually keep the lid secure, especially when stacking in the freezer. I've had a few messy incidents where the lid popped off and... let's just say my frozen blueberries now have carrot puree freckles.
Also, that chemical smell some reviewers mentioned? It's there when you first get it. After several washes and a vinegar soak, mine eventually stopped smelling, but it was concerning at first.
Despite these issues, I still reach for this tray almost daily. The reinforced bottom truly prevents crushing (unlike some flimsy trays I've tried), and being dishwasher safe is a lifesaver for this tired parent. Just maybe don't trust it for breast milk storage unless you're double-bagging.
