Clear Ice Cube Maker Tray - 2 Inch Clear Ice Cube Silicone Mold,10 Large Crystal Ice Cubes for Whiskey and Cocktail

This ice cube tray makes some big-ash ice cubes! They're actually too big to fit in my cups, ha ha. SO, I've resorted to drinking warm soda and then licking an ice cube, alternately. However, this comes with an added danger, as I found out - licking a large ice cube can make your tongue stick to it! Luckily, these are clear ice cubes, so the doctor was able to see my tongue through the cube right before removing it. Fun times!!

This set up really does work in delivering clear ice cubes! It is a little tricky removing the mold, (I recommend gently pulling back the foam from around the edges of the black molding, then you can wiggle and pull the tray out of the foam container). Do NOT overfreeze. All freezers are different, so check the mold at 18hrs, 24hrs, etc until you have the proper freeze. I also noticed that one random ice cube spot would pop up and become more of an ice log rather than a cube. Once the cube/log is removed, you can take a serrated knife and score a line across it and then hit the knife with a mallet to cut the cube.

“Tray” fulfills its purpose as advertised. After three years of intermittent use, the black silicone inner mold remains functional. It has developed a white haze on the bottom, possibly due to hard water, which the dishwasher fails to remove. Despite producing approximately 2000 perfectly clear cubes, the outer foam has detached at the corners, necessitating tape for repair. The white inner tray has cracked due to plastic fatigue. This may be attributed to my haste in making a final set of perfect ice cubes before guests arrive, resulting in an unusable black inner mold. While this might be considered a typical lifespan for such a product, my 4-star review could be deemed unfair. Nevertheless, I continue to purchase it, so I remain a somewhat satisfied end user.

Update: after using it a few times a week for about 7 months the silicone is starting to tear, so it's not built to last. This does make clear ice cubes, but it's an ordeal. After letting it freeze for 19 hours or so the cubes will be nice and clear with normal tap water. But getting the cubes out takes effort. I highly recommend having an ice pick to help get the ice off the outside loosened. You will get 9 nice cubes and one weird one where the ice expanded

First of all the directions are not clear and don't make much sense. The tub is twice as deep as the silicone mold tray. You are supposed to fill this up 1/4" from the top and keep it in the packing foam. Then put it in the freezer for 18-24 hours. Then take it out and let it sit for 20 minutes to slightly thaw so you can remove the frozen mold from the tray, that is a block of ice, and then you get your 10 cubes of ice. Cons: They are not all crystal clear They are not all full size 18-24 hours for ice Takes up alot of freezer room Cost . I'm going to plug the holes in the bottom of the mold and use it as a regular ice tray. Save your money, time and freezer space.

I adore the ice cubes. They are perfect and clear. Now, I will say, I had (and will have) the “MASSIVE CUBE” issue. My review is based on the quality of the amazing cubes. They are stealer. Clear and perfect. I didn’t read the directions the first three times I made cubes. I was confused that there was a giant kaiju cube erupting from all three times. THEN, I read the directions. There is apparently a process I’m too impatient for. But I’m also incredibly willing to admit my failings and not hold that against a great product. Even if you’re like me and use it wrong, 90% of the cubes will be perfect. The 10% that isnt’? I take one for the team and beat it with a hammer in a special sack for a wonderful crushed-ice drink. You’re welcome.

I had an issue removing the ice cube tray, but found that if I turned the silicone and foam holder upside down on a cooling rack for approximately 30 minutes the tray was easy to remove and the ice cubes were solid. I could use them immediately or store them in a gallon zip lock bag for future use.

Works okay. I was initially happy with this, and my first batch of ice came out perfect (other than the one push-pop cube... see other reviews). Over time, however, it became frustrating to use because the pieces don't fit well together, and combined with the large size makes it nearly impossible to get into the freezer without spilling outright, or creating a small overflow that leads to a pool of frozen water on and around the tray. The only way to avoid this is to significantly under-fill the tray. Either way, you end up with short "cubes". Kind of defeats the purpose of having presentation-worthy ice. When a friend accidentally threw away the foam liner (it looks like packing material), I splurged on a more expensive version, and the difference is night and day. Fifty bucks might seem like a lot for a 4-cube tray, but it is designed so much better that it makes the process a breeze, and even with the lower capacity, I end up with more ice over time because it is so much easier to fill and use without a mess. Don't waste your money on this one.

The white polystyrene case and black insert both tore within 6 months. The quality of the product does not justify the high price as the polystyrene case looks home made. The ice cubes pop out of the black case whilst in the freezer and the polystyrene case sticks to the freezer. Its impossible to get the ice cubes out of the black case out without running under luke warm water. The ice cubes are clear but not worth the hassle.

Crystal clear ice cubes. Sure, you can build this setup at home but who has the time. A few tips - do not force the cubes out, let everything out for a few minutes to loosen up. - some cubes will double in size, its normal, you just get a massive cube with each batch - the insulating material must not be manhandled, its not indestructible - dont store cubes for a ling time, they look best when fresh. Overall, it's a great little gadget that is sure to impress guests.

Awesome

Muy buena calidad de hielos. Quizá baje de los 650 algún día

The lure of crystal clear ice cubes brought me to this purchase. Does a glass of bourbon on the rocks need a crystal clear ice cube? Nope. Is it fun? Sure. What's no fun is the amount of space required (my partner's viewpoint) and the reality that while the cubes do come out looking like a piece of clear glass, they don't stay clear if left in the freezer for more than a week or two. After that, they look like large, cloudy ice cubes that could have been made in a silicone ice cube tray that sells for $6. If making lovely clear ice cubes for special occasions is what you're after, this set-up will do that for you, otherwise, just buy an el cheapo silicone tray and enjoy the libations.
