Make summer entertaining a breeze with this oversized ice tray hack.
Single-use, dispensable foil entertaining pans now have a dual purpose to keep everything from fresh veggies to shrimp cocktail perfectly chilled in the summer heat.
How to make a giant ice tray
The latest TikTok hack from Shannon McNitt, @livingonlife101 on TikTok garnered over 1 million views for her inventive icy trick.
In the video she fills a foil pan one third of the way with water and freezes it. Once set, she layers in a second foil pan filled with fresh vegetables and charcuterie to keep the food cold for guests.
Another user @Joywhodat on TikTok shared a similar idea, but took her version "to the next level" by weighing down additional inserted trays during the freezing process to ensure that once hardened, those frozen pockets serve as enveloped ice molds shaped for the perfect serving vessel.
