Use Muffin Tins to Freeze Broth in Perfect Portions

The Problem

You open a carton of broth, use one cup, and the rest sits in the fridge until it spoils.

The Hack

Pour leftover broth into a muffin tin. Freeze until solid. Pop out the broth pucks and store in a freezer bag.

Why It Works

Each standard muffin cup holds about 1/3 cup of broth — perfect for deglazing a pan, adding to rice, or making a quick sauce. No more wasting 3/4 of a carton.

Pro Tips

• For larger portions, use a silicone ice cube tray with big cubes
• Also works for leftover wine (for cooking), coconut milk, and stock
• Broth pucks last 4-6 months in the freezer
• Drop a frozen puck into any soup or stir-fry for instant depth of flavor
