There\u2019s nothing like making a big pot of soup at the beginning of the week<\/a> and having healthy, delicious meals readily available the following days. The only issue is that sometimes you don\u2019t get around to finishing the pot, and it\u2019s much more convenient just to throw out the leftovers than try to store them<\/a>. The latter is usually a messy, annoying process and ends up occupying a lot of fridge or freezer space<\/a>. In fact, this can be said of any liquid substance, including sauces, gravies, baby food, and the like. Fortunately, you\u2019re not forever resolved to wasting food and money because of an easily fixable problem. The only thing you need is the YouCopia FreezeUp food block maker<\/a>. It\u2019s on sale at Amazon as a part of their Black Friday sales<\/a> for just $15 for a pack of two, and each container is reusable. Once you put yours to good use, you can say goodbye to spills and cluttered shelves once and for all!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n These food block makers are essentially 2-cup capacity plastic containers that store bags of liquid leftovers. Once your baggy is ready, simply place it between the two halves of the container, push the halves together, and secure them with the included silicone bands. Each container<\/a> measures just 5 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide, so it\u2019ll take up very little space on your fridge and freezer shelves as opposed to many Tupperware-style alternatives. Of course, if 2 cups isn\u2019t enough, the food block makers are also available in a 6-cup capacity. Whether you\u2019re storing a full batch of tomato bisque or a smaller quantity of barbecue sauce, there\u2019s a size to accommodate your eats. When they\u2019re ready to come out of the freezer, you can let them defrost inside the YouCopia blocks so the bags don\u2019t fall over and leak onto your counters. Then, just snap the containers open, and you\u2019re ready to go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Hundreds of Amazon shoppers have tried this product and left a five-star review, and it\u2019s easy to understand why, given how versatile it is. \u201cI don\u2019t know how I ever managed without this!\u201d one reviewer wrote<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to use, and my freezer is so organized now with these neat \u2018blocks\u2019 of chicken stock, mushroom barley soup, arroz con pollo, etc.\u201d Another reviewer said they use theirs to hold bags of shredded cheese upright, so there\u2019s really no limit to how you can use your food block makers.
