YouCopia FreezeUp Freezer Food Block Maker
Oh, Mama. Have I got a YouCopia of goodness coming your way! These FreezeUp Freezer Food Block Makers might be the best invention since the freezer itself. Do you realize you will now be able to make me, like, triple the food as before since we'll just dump it all into quart- or gallon-size Ziplocs, and do a FreezeUp to turn it into 2.5" thick blocks that will stack neatly in She-Ra: Princess of Power and my's small, crappy, pull-out drawer freezer.
And don't go thinking you can only make FreezeUp Freezer Food Blocks out of boring soups and stews. Don't think that for one minute, Mama! YouCopia says you can turn virtually anything into a frozen block of long-lasting leftover goodness, including pastas and rice dishes, mashed potatoes, smoothies, shrimp boils, Thai curries, chicken tikka masala...I can make you a whole list, if you like.
FreezeUp Freezer Food Block Makers come in 2-cup and 6-cup capacities, reflective of the two most common sizes of freezer bags. The hinged containers stand vertically and allow you to secure bags over a slight lip for filling. A pair of silicone bands that hold the sides shut during freezing are specifically included for their expansion / contraction capabilities, so food is always easy to remove from the mold once it's frozen.
