The best way to store ice cubes to prevent them from sticking together is in a paper bag.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively store ice cubes:
- Paper Bag Method: Transfer your ice cubes from your ice maker, tray, or purchased bag directly into a clean paper bag.
- Folding the Bag: Fold the top of the paper bag closed to help prevent moisture from entering.
- Freezer Placement: Store the folded paper bag in your freezer.
- Retrieval: When you need ice, simply take the paper bag out and scoop out the desired amount. The ice cubes should remain relatively loose and not frozen together in one large mass.
This method is simple, effective, and utilizes materials you likely already have on hand.
