A recent Facebook post by a Kmart shopper has gone viral for its clever use of the 175 Giant Ice Cube Tray, specifically for caravanners. The shopper highlighted how these trays can prevent small jars from clattering together in the fridge, a suggestion that instantly resonated with commenters who called it ‘genius’ and ‘so clever.’ Many others chimed in, sharing their own uses for the trays, including storing spices, eggs, and even freezing tomato paste in tablespoon portions.
This trend isn’t entirely new; TikTok content creator Caroline, known as thedelightfulcook, showcased similar hacks last year, recommending the trays for freezing stock and other sauces, claiming they are versatile enough for various culinary needs.
The Giant Ice Cube Tray has gained popularity over time but not without controversy. In the past, a trend to use these trays for baking was met with a warning from Kmart, which advised shoppers against using them in the oven due to safety concerns. Despite this, the viral nature of the tray has led to numerous innovative kitchen solutions shared by enthusiastic users.
