I have the super cubes, they work well. It’s good for single or two people house holds. I can make a big batch of stuff and freeze some for easy meals later. I put the frozen cubes in freezer bags and label them so I know what it is and when I froze them.

The Souper Cuber also works as a baking pan. I make individual meat loaves and mini bread loaves. They turn out great. I do find that if after removing from the freezer you leave it out on the counter top for about 30 minutes the food comes out easier.

Love my super cube! Have been using it for well over a year. There are just some dishes you just can't make a small amount of and for empty nesters this solves the problem.

I buy the cheapest I see when there is an offer online. Ricer is dumb. I use a meat grinder. Ninja's too expensive for me. Mine's literally unbranded anywhere. But cup is metal, about 2x larger, $8, and chops up all sorts of stuff, from meat, to carrots, onions, and garlic. Grinding up carrots on the manual ricer will be a LOT of work. I used mandoline, and even that was tiring. I have a dog who's now eating mostly veggies. He's constantly hungry, and when he arrived, he was so overweight his body was round like a fat hotdog. Vet suggested less meat and more veggies. More bulk, less calories. I have now switched to giving them raw instead of cooked for the same reason.

I use souper cubes, and have learned to hold the ladle over a paper bowl on the way to the cubes, so most of the drippage goes in the bowl and can be recovered. I also tend to stash the frozen bricks in a vacuum sealed bag, then heat them back up in the sous vide machine.

I have some knock off super cubes. The knock offs with more rounded edges work better. The sharp angles make the frozen product tougher to release. I used the large cubes for leftovers all the time. I freeze, pop out, stuff in re-useable silicone freezer bag, label with that blue painters tape, and store in freezer till I need it.

Tip for long-term freezing of soup blocks: Wrap each cube in plastic wrap before putting it in a freezer bag. Your freezer's automatic defrost cycle will cause them to fuse together in a single block otherwise.

For both the meat patty and stew freezing thing, once it has froze, you can take it out and individually packed them into maybe ziploc bag or vacuum bag then chuck it into the freezer, it would take up less space without the freeze tray. It free up the tray again to either keep it away or start freezing a new batch.

If you want the burgers to come out without freezer burn, place them in the fridge uncovered for 1 hour, then freeze.

Never put hot foods into silicone or wash in hot water. Wipe the food off with baking soda first, before soap and warm water. If what you have is 100% silicone, you heat it in the oven, and it will release the odors. I have even done the gasket for a thermal mug in the oven. The silicone expands when it is heated. So, the odors become trapped in between the molecules as it cools. When heated it lets them back out.

I have more than 10 one cup Super Cubes and 2 half cup. I love mine absolutely no complaints. They fit better in the freezer inside the cubes. The half cup makes ice cubes that last my entire drink plus.

I've been using the Souper Cubes for a while now & I love them. You just pop the cubes out into a Ziploc bag & you've got the perfect amount you need each time.

I have used the souper cubes for around a year (?). I think they are great. I make giant pots of soups and stews and there are always portions left over that my family wouldn't eat and I would wind up throwing out. I now put them in souper cube. Once frozen I individually vacuum seal them and they stay fresh in the freezer for a very long time. You can reheat the bag in a pot of boiling water or use the microwave. Very convenient!

*Love all your videos! Ninja is my favorite brand, hands down. I use my Ninja blender every day for either making homemade cat food for my elderly kitty, or for making smoothies. I'd buy that little Ninja ricer over the other ricers any day. I guess I'm a Ninja snob? lol Anyways, I cracked up when I saw Bailey giving the burger the eye haha!* 😂

I freeze soup and stew by putting a freezer bag inside a margarine container. Same result but easier to place in a full freezer as each is individual.

I ordered The Burger Master from Amazon shortly after watching your review. It actually came in a cardboard sleeve. For the first time, I was able to make even burgers. Since I have a small freezer, I put the frozen patties in a freezer bag for storage. Then, I made sausage patties and meatloaf patties. Now I can make eight individual servings in one sitting. There were pictures attached to the listing I ordered from that showed putting soup in the Burger Master's top and using the bottom as the lid in order to make and freeze individual servings of soup (something that I'm not going to try sometime soon).

I love my souped cubes! I have the large 2 cup size and what I do is a bake items into an individual size vs a large family pan. Then I put it in the freezer to freeze for about 12-24 hours. Once frozen I use my vacuum sealer to ensure they last longer in the freezer.

My partner and I bought the 4 cup souper cubes (2 cup portions) in a pack of two and they are my favorite thing in the kitchen next to my vacuum sealer!! We usually take them out once frozen and vacuum seal them to save space.

I’ve used the souper for a couple of years. You can wrap the blocks in regular plastic wrap then drop into the freezer bag. The bag stays clean and reusable.

i have the shape and store. i smash the hamburger up and add onions or whatever in before putting in container. once frozen, remove and put in freezer bag. it isn't meant to keep in the freezer, the food will freezer burn in it. you can store in the refrigerator, not the freezer.

I would either load that hambuger mold the other way (load the cups), or I would use the bottom, and rather than freeze it in the device, I would turn them out fresh onto a lined cookie sheet and freeze and transfer to ziplocks - that way you could make a lot burgers at once, not just 1 round of 'em at a time.

Instead of storing them in the press in the freezer I plan to freeze them and them pop them out and put in freezer bags.

Both the hamburger and soup container looked good but like you said the portions were small. I use a tupperware container to press my hamburgers in and then I turn them onto a sheet of saran wrap and then wrap the whole thing in the wrap and freeze them. Just peel them off.

I have plenty of containers i could freeze portions of soup and etc without the need for a specific item for it. I have no need for the ricer as i don't eat my veggies that way.

You are the best out there. I usually don’t buy anything until I see if you did a review on it. Hey, thanks so much.

I bought a 2-pk burger press at Costco a few years ago. I really like it for portion sizing hamburger for my recipes. Also I use it reverse to how you showed. I find it easier to fill and pop meat out of the hex side and for putting the lid on and off.

I like the burger press. Makes quick work of making uniform patties and easy storage in the freezer. I like the Souper Cubes, but I would probably use it more for huge ice cubes. The Cauliflower Ricer works, but I would use the Ninja too.

That Souper Cube would be perfect for chili and soup season here. There’s only three of us and most recipes leave a good amount of leftovers. This would be good for freezing them up and then bagging for the freezer to pull out portions later.

The burger press and souper cube look real handy, especially for meal prep and stuff

I love my Souper cubes (although I have a knockoff brand)! I have food prepped many different things and froze them, then took the frozen cubes and vacuum packaged them. It's a space and time saver!

I'm really digging the burger press, makes burgers super easy and uniform. I would get one if I had the freezer space, so I still hand pat my burgers which is still ideal because I can make my burgers as big as I want

That first one seems fantastic if you have a family to feed. If you are single not so much. The second device looks very nice. Freezer bag might freeze them into one big block. Maybe put some parchment paper between the cubes.

I love that burger press I might just buy that! I love turkey burgers for my meal prep on top of my rice and the shape just makes it more fun.

The burger press is definitely useful. Quick old trick. Just smack the whole thing on a hard surface to separate and you can portion them in Ziplock bags. Im definitely buying.

A potato masher and ricer will do the same job to steamed cauliflower. No extra tools or pwer required. 😊

you can get like 2lbs of frozen, pre packaged cauliflower rice from sams club for $6. no extra gadgets needed, no need to have fresh cauliflower around. just need some freezer space. its great stuff.

Hmmm. The burger press and the super cube both look interesting. After freezing a person could vac seal any number of patties or cubes and have them in the freezer long term.

I really like the first 2 products, I wonder if you were to spray the burger press and the ice thing with a little pam cooking spray, they may pop out easier, I like them though!! The ricer thing I don't think I have a use for, at least not yet, lol. As always, great video my friend!

Thanks for the meal prep gadgets. I don't like making hamburger patties by hand or paying a higher price for pre-made patties. That hexagon press looked great.

Souper Cubes... I saw someone on Dragon's Den pitching frozen food like that, for portion control. I thought it was genius. Dragons weren't interested. I bought some silicone mini-loaf trays and started making my own frozen portions. The mini-loaf trays cost a fraction of what Souper Cubes wants. Oh, the mini-loaf trays don't have a lid. So I put something on top of it when freezing. Once frozen I shrink wrap them before putting back in the freezer again.

I might have to pick up that burger press, I prefer to make and freeze 1/8 pound patties but I don't see why it wouldn't work for that as well. Sure would save me a lot of hassle compared to the way I do it now which is to meticulously weigh and shape them with a ring mold on a cookie sheet.

I Love Freakin Reviews Videos 🧡

ngl, I thought that the burger press would be a stupid idea but then the storage thing was the real draw. portions out quarter pound portions of ground meat. really useful imo.

I might pick up that Super Cubes. Mom and I make a lot of soups and stews ahead to freeze and I think these will be perfect. Plus, I won't keep running out of dishes lol.

At 1st, I thought the burger press was pretty good. It *is* if you need to store flat. Otherwise, why not just flatten it out in a pan, or even on the counter, cut in a grid, & stack with paper between or lay flat in a bag? Pretty much the same with the next one. If you have to put food away while warm &/or transport it somewhere & it has to be that shape. Otherwise, regular containers should suffice. I wouldn't want to store or wash either of those. Same for the ricer. I agree that it's good if you need to make it frequently &/or have multiple uses &/or if power is a factor. Always nice to see Bailey & always a pleasant vid.

The burger press is pretty neat. I have one that does individual burgers, but never did my mind conceive you could press eight burgers all at once!

Nice review, both the burger press and the souper seemed useful! Really liked the outtro music as well, nice vibe!

It makes 8 quarter pound burgers in "seconds." Or 8 Royale with cheeses. 😄 Heck, I can rebuild your transmission in "seconds"... I just can't guarantee how many. 😆 Ah crap, I'm starting to sound like Jerry Seinfeld.😀 Seriously, though... they all worked well, but I can't find how I'd use them. And Bailey is always a welcome addition.

Not using the hexclad to cook the hex burger was a huge missed opportunity for a cheap laugh lol

For portion control the burger press and cubes will be great. I make tons of Cauliflower rice in my Super Shooter with the grater drum. The other seems a uni-tasker.

been using those soupers cubes for almost a year. mostly for big icecubes that lasts forever. used almost daily still works as brand new

What I didn't like about the hamburger one is that you could already see frost. Which means there will be freezer burn soon. So it is not airtight.

Love the show, love your chill nature.
