Advantages: cheap...
Disadvantages: ...it shows

...Oh you remember the adverts, how could you not? The man always dressed in a dinner jacket skiing over perilous pistes and swimming through shark infested waters and almost coming a cropper with a laser between the legs (or was that James Bond?). Anyway it seemed nothing would stop this man from delivering his precious cargo. And what, pray tell, was this precious cargo? Was it a human heart being rushed for transplant? The nuclear launch codes? What was it? A box of chocolates! But not just any old chocolate but Cadbury’s Milk Tray! And why did he go to such lengths to deliver a box of Milk Tray? Because the lady loved them. Or so we were told because he never stuck around long enough to see her enjoy them. But I digress. Christmas has been and the goose that we plumped up nicely has made us fat, so as we struggle to both... Read review

...I just love the Annabel Karmel food cube trays and they have made weaning my baby (and feeding my 10 month old!) so much simpler. I first bought them when weaning my baby at 6 months. I started making the basic purees as recommended by Annabel Karmel and freezing them in these little trays. When frozen, I would turn them out of the trays into plastic food bags, and return to the freezer. This meant that when I needed a block of food, I could easily defrost & warm it up for an instant meal. Now that my baby is over 6 months old, I mix in a little whole milk to the warmed up food to make it creamier. I still use them with my 10 month old, and instead of purees, use them for mini meals e.g. mini cottage pies, bolognaise, rice puddings. In fact, anything I cook in surplus now gets put into these pots to freeze! WHY I WOULD RECOMMEND... Read review

...and is now one of the biggest factories in Britain. In 1899 Richard died at the age of 63 leaving George to become chairman of the board. Also in 1899 the factory trebled in size and the business began to expand. There were now 4 factories each with over 2000 employees. Production of the MIlk Tray Soon after saw the introduction of the milk tray in 1915. The name 'Tray' derived from the way in which the original assortment was delivered to the shops. Originally Milk Tray was packed in five and a half pound boxes, arranged on trays from which it was sold loose to customers. The half-pound box was intorduced in 1916 while the one pound box was introduced later in 1924. With its stylish presentation, Milk Tray was the assortment for everyday, not just special occasions, and represented the best buy in chocolates for millions of people. The pack... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Too time consuming to wash and remove frozen food from

...Bought these to freeze larger batches of fruit and veg for my growing wee one. They were fine up until I came to remove the frozen portions which would not come out of the tray.Due to the tray being almost rubber like in construction, I could not manipulate the food portions to pop free. The sides are too deep and too flexible, meaning I had try to pull the sides back on each individual cube to get the food out. After about 20 minutes (time which busy Mums don't have) of fingernail bending I took a pair of scissors to cut the food free. I will go back to my rigid, lidded, smaller cube trays and take out several smaller portions as baby eats more, progressing on to tot pots for freezing. These trays are NOT dishwasher safe however can be sterilized in a cold water solution. I bought 2 boxes and will not be opening the other one.... Read review
