Has anyone done this? Is it messy and shitty? I don't trust retard ragusea but i'm interested in freezing my sauce. Also does the flavor keep well?

That seems like the worst fucking way to freeze bolognese sauce. I'd slap it in sandwich bags an freeze them flat. Or some other type of flat bag.
Or maybe I'm gonna take the noplasticpill and switch to all glass bell straight sided jars

you can easily find small reusable plastic food containers that are perfect for storing single serving portions of sauce without having to make a retarded mess with ice cube trays.
they are very cheap, but you can also recycle store foods containers if they happen to have a lid (stuff like yogurts and shit)

I've done this with pesto after making a huge batch from 2lbs of basil. It made sense since one cube of pesto is a reasonable serving size. Froze them then transferred the cubes to a freezer bag. Flavor held up surprisingly well, but obviously not as good as fresh pesto.
I would not consider doing this with bolognese, chilli, or other similar meal sauces. The portion size of an ice cube isn't compatible. Better to just use a larger freezer bag and freeze it flat.

>> No.18374328

bolognese sauce is mostly made of fat and proteins, so it doesn't even increase its volume that much when freezing

In my experience, only use this shit with broth. The moment you have foreign objects in the liquid it starts fucking up the ease of getting them to stay in cubes. And God Above save you're fucking soul if you try to do this with high volume meat fat liquids. Lipids are oily, they aren't watery- so if you try and make a cube of it, it will instead just shred instead of clean breaking and stick all your shit. What a fucking mess.

Bags are completely different from ice trays though.

This is retarded, I just have a shit ton of those cheap deli containers that they use for takeout soups and shit, it was like $5 for a billion of them or something on Amazon and they come in a bunch of sizes.

Having portions I can use for single servings for myself doesn't seem useless to me. I don't even do the ice tray method and don't plan to, I'm just saying it's not without merit depending on how you prepare stuff. If someone wanted to prep a bunch of meals for themself really far in advance that took only minutes to prepare it could work pretty well. Make one big pot of sauce, portion it into single servings, and you'd have like a months worth meals ready.

>> No.18375081

You're defending the retarded ice cube method while making my point for me, just freeze it in single portions. Anything smaller is a waste of time, energy, and storage space. There is absolutely no reason to do this, it's fucking stupid.
