freezables
Things for freezing
Items that can be frozen for preservation or later use.
The term appears most often in meal planning and food storage contexts: I prepped a week's worth of freezables on Sunday.
Freezables typically refers to prepared foods, leftovers, or ingredients that maintain quality after freezing and thawing.
