How can I stop ice cubes tasting like the freezer?

Our answer

Clean the ice tray and freezer, discard old cubes and store new cubes in a covered bag away from strong-smelling foods.

Why this approach makes sense

The useful decision is usually the storage temperature, container or time since preparation, not a special gadget.

Before you try it

If food shows signs of spoilage or has not been kept at a safe temperature, do not try to rescue it with extra seasoning or heating.
