We also love that the tray is available in small and large designs, depending on the size of the cube you’re looking to create. It’s both BPA- and PVC-free so it’s a safe option for leftover food as well as for a reliable drinks livener. I prefer silicone ones because it's easier to tip the cubes out."(Type of tray recommended by Mumsnet user lilham) Our verdict If you are making purée, it makes sense to make a batch and save some for later. So a freezer tray can be very useful. And the frozen cubes can be transferred into freezer bags so that the freezer tray can be used again. Labelling: It could be very useful to have a place for labelling the tray with the food type and date. Alternatively, some ordinary baby food storage pots can be put in the freezer, so you could just use those. Another option is to fill up a large standard ice cube tray.

How long does it take to make ice cubes?
This list has been narrowed down to the very best with thorough research and the following considered: The type of freezer tray: There are two main types. The first is a tray with cubes to place the food and the second is individual pots that slot into a freezer tray. With the latter, you can wash the pots up as you go, rather than wait for all the purée to be used. It may also be easier to remove each portion from the pots rather than the trays. Rubbery trays are easier, I think. Some of the plastic ones can snap more easily (my cheap ones did!)" - onepieceoflollipop

What’s the best material for an ice cube tray?
Before first use and for every subsequent use wash all parts in hot water, we recommend using the NUK Baby Bottle Cleanser which is based on natural ingredients and removes food residues more effectively than soapy water alone. Alternatively, wash with washing up liquid or in a dishwasher (this may cause slight discolouration). Under no circumstances use corrosive or aggressive cleaning agents. A baby food freezer portion tray is a place to freeze individual portions of purée for babies being weaned. Do I need a baby food freezer tray?
