11 Game-Changing Freezer Organizers That’ll Instantly Tidy Up Your Fridge
If you walked into my kitchen right now, you’d think it looked neat and tidy. And you’d be right … unless you opened up the freezer. Hidden behind the freezer door lurks my secret shame: a jumble of bags of chicken breasts, trays of diced fruit, stray ice cubes, almost-empty ice cream containers, misshapen ice packs, too many sticks of butter, and more culinary clutter that comes tumbling down whenever I dare to move anything. Well, not for long, my friends! I recently did a deep dive online into the best products to buy to create a super-organized freezer, and I can’t wait to revamp this chilly chamber in my own kitchen. If your freezer is in need of an organizational overhaul, too, I’ve got your back. I searched our site and the rest of the internet to find my favorite game-changing freezer organization solutions. Pretty cool, huh?
KT Freezer Organizers July 2022
We turn to YouCopia time and time again for game-changing organizational finds, and this space saver is one of our faves. It's a clear plastic storage rack with adjustable dividers that make it easy to stand bags and boxes of frozen veggies, meals, and other goodies on their sides, rather than piling them on top of each other. It's a simple (and affordable!) way to fit so much more into your freezer.
When we spoke with organization experts, they were clear that, although containers with rounded edges look chic and modern, they waste space. That's why it's a better bet to go for square or rectangular containers, like this set of eight from Amazon that's specifically designed to withstand low freezer temps. Each of the 1.5-pint containers is dishwasher safe, shows quantity markings, and can be clearly labeled so you know exactly what's inside and how long it's been there.
Sure, this silicone mold is called the Burger Master, but it's useful for so much more. Each one includes eight spots designed to fit quarter-pound portions so that you can have homemade patties ready to go whenever you want them. Same goes for soups, sauces, and other items that you can freeze in distinct portions. Label them, line them up in the freezer, and you'll be able to see what you have at a glance every time you open the door.
Keep soup, stews, and other batched-out meals in perfectly parsed 8-oz. portions with these sleek-looking freezer cubes from editor-loved brand W&P. They’re made from food-safe silicone, so it's simple to pop out a portion at a time. The frame is also spill-proof, which is especially great news for clumsy cooks.
This full set of organizational containers gives you a wide range of size and shape options to incorporate into your setup. Each package contains two wide drawers, two narrow drawers, one can dispenser drawer, and one egg drawer (the latter two are meant for the fridge, of course). They're sleek, durable, and wash clean with just soap and water.
This handy bin is part of The Home Edit's kitchen and pantry collection, available exclusively at The Container Store. It's specifically designed for drawer freezers and includes a removable divider, so you can use the bin for larger or smaller items, from boxed meals to ice cream sandwiches.
Another freezer-specific solution, this iDesign bin comes in small, large, and narrow sizes. Customize your buy based on the dimensions of your freezer and the job you need it to do, then sit back and look at your beautifully organized frozen staples.
Just as turntables make it a cinch to see everything in your cabinets, they can do the same for freezers. We like this $10 Copco version from Amazon. Then, instead of sifting through your whole freezer (and letting the cold air out!), you can just give it a little spin to find what you need in seconds.
Surprised to see file bins on this list? It's a hack we got directly from The Home Edit team themselves. “We use these hanging file holders from the office section of The Container Store." How brilliant is that? They fit right onto the rails of drawer freezers, and they're perfect for organizing box freezers, too.
Keeping snacks in the freezer is easy with the Freezer Storage Organizer Bin With Handles. The handles make it simple to take out, and it's clear, so you can always see what's inside. It's handy in the freezer or pantry, and you can even toss it in the refrigerator if you like.
Feel free to store your leftovers in the freezer using these convenient freezer gallon bags. Equipped with special technology, these bags can withstand freezing temperatures, ensuring your food remains free from freezer burn or leaks. For added organization, we suggest jotting down details like the contents and expiration date on the label, making it easy to identify your frozen items whenever you're deciding what to enjoy.
