How many cubes will your batch make?
Type your batch size in any of the units below. A cup is 8 fluid ounces and a tablespoon is half an ounce.
Freezer tray batch calculator
We divide your batch by each tray’s cube size and cubes per tray, fewest fills first.
Uses each maker’s stated per-cube capacity; how full you fill each cube changes the real count. Check the maker’s label and instructions for freezing, thawing and heating.
How much one full tray holds
Per-cube capacity times number of cubes, from each maker’s specs.
The spread is wide. The Munchkin Silicone Baby Food Freezer Tray has 0.25 oz cubes, while the KeaBabies Prep Silicone Baby Food Tray holds 20 oz in one fill. Big batch? Look at the full-tray number. Small portions? Look at the cube size.
Lids and materials
2 of 5 cube trays list a lid in the maker’s material list. A dash in the table below means the maker doesn’t list one, not that there isn’t one, so check the product page for whether it snaps on or rests on top.
By material, the trays list 5 silicone, 2 plastic, 1 steel. One tray lists a frame inside the silicone, per the maker. “BPA-free” shows up on some listings; we report it only as the maker states it.
Also tracked, without a published cube size and count: Boon Pulp Popsicle & Freezer Tray, Mushie Fresh Food Feeder Freezer Tray, Mushie Toddler Ice Pop Tray, ezpz Ice Tray for the Baby-Led Gumline Feeder.

Some trays come with a lid and some don’t. Check whether the maker lists a lid before you buy; the table in this guide shows which makers list one.
How many ounces is a baby food cube?
It depends on the tray, and makers list it in ounces or tablespoons. See the cube size table in this guide.
Can silicone freezer trays go in the dishwasher?
Check the maker’s care notes for your tray. The table in this guide shows which makers say dishwasher safe.
Can I microwave baby food in the freezer tray?
Check whether the maker says the tray and its lid are microwave safe, and follow the maker’s instructions. The comparison in this guide counts which makers say microwave safe; ask your pediatrician about feeding your child.
