While we have a ice maker on our fridge, I've been wanting to freeze extra pesto for later single use servings. With this ice cube tray, it's easy to toss some items in the tray, place them in the freezer, and then throw them in a plastic bag for later use. My favorite part about this tray is that there's a cover that helps make sure that the liquids don't spill all over the freezer while in the process of freezing. This ice cube tray does just want I needed it to!
