Large Ice Cube Trays, Opret 2 Pcs Silicone Ice Cube Mold with Lid
My partner wanted these Large Ice Cube Trays for the spherical mould mainly, but I think I have fallen in love with the square tray, both are super easy to use and even on my first attempt the results are great.
– Included funnels make filling the sphere tray easy
– The silicone material used throughout makes the trays feel strong and long-lasting which still being flexible and easy to release the ice when ready
– It is quite difficult to know how much you can fill up the sphere tray
– The ice cubes are fun and long-lasting
– Lids make transporting the trays when full easy and spill-free
When this set arrived I was first surprised just quite how large they were especially the spherical tray, both are larger than a ‘normal’ ice cube tray and as the spheres are bigger in every direction they seem particularly big. The cube tray is made completely of soft silicone including the lid, this feels high quality and I was very happy with it, the spherical tray has a plastic base and a silicone lid, but at least in my experience when the ice is formed it sticks to the silicone and then when you take the lid off the spherical tray the ice comes with it which makes it easy to release.
The sphere tray came with 2 tiny funnels which make filling it very easy, the only problem I had was trying to fill them the right amount, the listing suggests 95%, but as you can see from the included images, I hedged my bets and tried a different level in each, the one in the bottom left is definitely less than 95% full and when they froze ice had escaped out of the top hole of every one of the spheres. I’m sure I will get the hang of this soon, but let this be a warning to you, as it made the tray stick to the top of the drawer of the freezer and was a pain to remove.
The ice cubes produced were great and you can see from the two images I have included of them out of the trays they look great, I particularly like on the square one that the top corners are slanted, which although doesn’t really add anything, I think it looks cool. One thing to note is that if you do use too much water in the spherical tray then when the ice is removed there will be a small nub where the water had frozen up through the fill hole, this is easy to remove though.
