Using ice cube trays for freezing food

I read about freezing pesto in ice cube trays (same with broth), which I'd love to do. But curious if you should cover or wrap the trays?

No, you don't have to. As soon as it freezes, pop them into a sealed bag. This works great for sauce reductions too.

I do a quick set freeze then pop them out and put them in a freezer bag, I would cover them to protect them from absorbing odors if I was leaving them until use.
