It’s the season of cooking, especially during the holidays. Now, you’re bound to have leftovers…and quite frankly, it’s an inevitably bittersweet situation to be in. Everyone loves leftovers (the sweet part), but when you have too much than what you know what to do with—that’s the bitter part. One Pot Chef settles one aspect of your leftover situations… the liquids. Whether you have leftover wine, stock, tomato paste, or fresh herbs in broth—freeze it all. Using an ice cube tray, pour in your liquids and pop your tray(s) in the freezer. That’s it! You’ll preserve your otherwise short shelf-life cooking liquids. This quick trick helps to reduce waste while having the liquids you need on demand for stir-fries, soups and any other recipe that calls for your frozen liquid cubes. If you want to get real fancy, you could freeze leftover juice or coffee so when you cool off a drink, you don’t end up with a watered-down sip.
