 Inconvenient and not cost effective. December 18, 2008

I usually take one day a week to cook and puree enough fruits and veggies to last the week, purchasing what fresh produce is in season, or fresh-frozen alternatives. Just one hour in the kitchen once a week is all the time I spend on making baby food, and I love that. I didn't love these food storage cubes, however.
Like other reviewers, I found that the lids rarely stayed in place, whether in the freezer or the fridge, and if you filled a cube even barely above the line, the lid will pop open in the freezer due to expansion. Don't toss one in your diaper bag for even short outings, either, or you'll have a mess on your hands.
I found that 1-ounce cubes were much too small for my baby's needs. Filling up 2 trays of these cubes didn't last us a week. My daughter is a healthy eater and it wasn't long before 1 ounce of food didn't satisfy her, and it became a pain to thaw and heat several cubes at once. One ounce is about the size of an ice cube and if you want portions that small, it would be easier to fill a standard ice cube tray, freeze, then pop the cubes out and store in a freezer bag.
Also, washing these little cubes by hand was a hassle for me, especially when there are so many other baby items in my life that need hand-washing. To put them in the dishwasher, you have to place them in a basket and they often would nest within each other during the wash cycle and not become clean, or the heat would warp them. The plastic stained easily, too, especially with orange foods.
I eventually purchased several packs of Gladware 4-ounce round containers. These are a nice size, a bit larger than baby food jars, so a few containers in the fridge would last us through several meals for a day or 2, and the rest went in the freezer. Before bed each night, I would pull a few more containers from the freezer to thaw in the fridge for the next day. Fast, easy, convenient. They also wash up nicely in the dishwasher and I've never had one pop open in the diaper bag.
Occasionally one of the blue Gladware lids with crack from having been frozen, heated, and washed repeatedly, but they're so inexpensive that tossing one in the recycling bin now and then wasn't a lot of money down the drain.
Baby #2 is on the way and I look forward to refining my homemade baby food routine ... but I wont be using these cubes! Time to buy some more Gladware containers.

i definately like the size of each cube, and that each is separate from the others. what i don't like is that there's nothing keeping the cubes set in the tray. i don't know about your freezer, but mine is not the most organized, and there was no way i could just set the tray in and expect it to stay together. i ended up putting the whole thing in a freezer bag as well. it's also quite difficult to pop the food out of the cube once frozen, which is unfortunate because i was hoping to use the cubes to free, then put the food cubes into a freezer bag and make another batch using the tray. instead, i can only do batches of food once i've thawed each cube to feed baby. i'd probably prefer a tray with a lid that can release the food once frozen, even if it meant not having individual sealing cubes.
 1 oz storage cubes April 5, 2008

When I ordered these, I thought they were the same 2oz ones that I had previously purchased. These are 1oz, and that's not a whole lot of food. It might work for the first month of solids but not beyond. They also do not remain closed in the freezer. I didn't overfill them (because it expands in the freezer), and they would be open the next time I got into the freezer.

This tray works out perfect for my home-made food. Each little box is just enough storage for one feeding.
Love it!!! February 17, 2008

These are really helpful when making food for my baby. The little cubes are easy to fill and freeze for later use.
