Meal prep, organisation, planning ahead – all things we are trying to do more of this year. This all sounds well and good, but the actual time meal prepping can take is enough to turn people completely off the idea.
So having some handy help in the kitchen will never go amiss. Enter the Souper Cubes 1 Cup/250 mL Silicone Freezer Tray with Lids, now £34.99 on Amazon, which could just be the easiest way to meal prep.

The freezer trays, made from 100% pure platinum silicone, come with a steel top and lid and also offer you the option to freeze soups, sauces, broths or other dishes.
To also save you time when working out portion sizes, the soup containers come with fill lines at ½ cup, 125 ml, and 250 ml. Measuring at 12” L x 6” W x 2.5” H – a little smaller than the average lunch box – the containers are also oven-safe up to 212C and dishwasher friendly.
With a 4.7 star rating out of 5 from some 16,956 Amazon reviews, satisfied customers have shared their views on the product. One person wrote: “I have always batch cooked but find myself using and wasting plastic food bags each time. These cubes are excellent – no issues popping the contents out and wash well in the dishwasher.”
“I love these, had them for several years now and still going strong, I make large pots of base gravy for my curries and these are great for freezing the liquid and then storing in my freezer,” said another buyer.
“I’m going to be honest: I don’t spend a ton of time in the kitchen…and I rarely rave about any kitchen gadgets, but I positively love these SouperCubes and have bought multiple sizes of them and given them as gifts, as well,” another buyer stated.

However, some buyers had negatives. One said: “These are a great idea and work perfectly well. My issue is that the cubes they make are slightly too big for every soup container I own, which really limits how useful these are.”
“Attractive item works as expected… However, like many plastic storage products, it has a tendency to stain, thus losing some of its appeal,” said another.
If you aren’t sold and want something different to keep your food in, then you could opt for the Debenhams MasterClass Food Storage Container at £16.99 or a simple £6 set of four Food Storage Containers from Dunelm.
