I lost the containers I put my caramelised onions into to freeze. I searched everywhere without any success and decided to go to the backup plan of ice cube trays. Then I remembered where the containers are - in the pantry, right next to where I have been working all day and very visible. Fortunately I remembered before actually packaging the onions.
ice cube trays sound like a very good idea
just freeze 'em then put them in freezer bags so you can use in single serves
I like the little containers because they are easy to throw one in for lunch at the last minute if I've been a bit lax on preparation. I've always got some sliced cheese and bread available at a minimum, throwing on some caramelised onion makes a great last minute toastie. But ice cube trays work too - I have a few in different sizes and freeze things like herbs and tomato paste, very rarely actual ice.
