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

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.

It takes a bit of preparation to get it right. I use a good quality bottled water, heated up to almost boiling point on the hob (not the kettle due to limescale and impurities.) You do end up with one ice cube larger than the others, but the others end up beautifully square and crystal clear. The only pain is thawing the tray underneath so you can separate it from the black tray and release the ice cubes. I usually stab the cuboid of ice underneath - just under the black tray to release it, being careful not to pierce the black tray. Then, once separated from the cuboid of ice, the cubes should pop out fairly easily. I then transfer the cubes to a freezer bag and put them in the freezer. The cubes melt much more slowly than regular ones due to their size, so your drink doesn't get diluted, and your tonic stays fizzy! I enjoy one ice cube in a whisky glass with a nice gin and tonic and a glass of lemon!

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 materials are cheap but this is a niche item, which probably warrants the price. A silicone tray with holes in the bottom, a cheap plastic basin, and foam insulation. It works exactly as described. Just fill and freeze. For best results you should remove the cubes after 20-24 hours. If you let the whole basin freeze it's a pain to separate the block from the tray, and you risk ripping the tray or cracking the plastic basin. I remove the cubes and store them in a metal bowl, which seems to keep them from melting during defrost cycles. If you find that your ice is cracking when making a drink, let the ice temper in the glass for a minute or two before adding your drink.

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.
