No matter the size of the kitchen or the meal being made, prepping ahead of time will forever be the name of the game. If you’re cooking alone, meal prep can be pretty labor intensive depending on the recipe, so it’s nice to have a few handy tools at your disposal to help soften the workload. Food storage containers , cutting boards , cooking knives /utensils and prep trays are all useful items that can make even the most stressful of kitchens a well-oiled machine.

Make no mistake that if someone is in need of new or replacement kitchen tools, Aldi should be exactly where they begin their search. The popular discount retailer might not have the vast selection one might enjoy from other major retailers, but it's the quality of goods paired with affordable prices that sets Aldi apart from the rest. Which is what ultimately led us to these incredible Crofton Silicone Prep Trays .

Perfect for those meals where certain ingredients require different cooking times, these silicone prep trays are a lifesaver in the kitchen. No need to continue using sheet after sheet of single-use parchment paper and foil; these trays essentially take the place of those items while being both food safe and oven safe up to 450°F. Simply grease the tray, put the food inside and get to cooking.

Customers can choose between both gray (which is eerily similar to a Sur La Table offering nearly four times the price) and multicolor sets, both of which include two square and two rectangular-shaped prep trays as well as one large mold that each piece can sit in for only $7.99. The size of the trays is unfortunately not disclosed online. However, based on the photos, collectively, the trays look to be capable of holding enough food for a small family dinner.

A hot Aldi find such as this one is guaranteed to sell out fast. Make sure you head to your local today before supplies are gone for good. And while you’re at it, be sure to take a look at these incredibly durable chopping blocks that have been flying off the shelves. For those of you who prefer to cook in comfort, you might also want to try on a pair of these super-popular cloud slides before heading to the checkout counter.
