TINANA Ice Sphere Cube Maker, 2 Inch Crystal Clear prepare 8 Large Round Balls, for Cocktail, Whiskey & Bourbon Drinks, Gifts for Men

Perfect clear ice for whiskey…just make sure your glass is wide enough for the ice. I had to purchase new glasses as the ice wouldn’t fit.

Very happy with the results. Easy to use. Doesn't take up a lot of room in the freezer. Makes enough in one batch (8 balls) to be convenient. 24 hours is enough in my freezer (your mileage may vary). They make a great presentation.Clear ice is the way to go.

The package came well packaged. This product contains 6 pieces. A styrofoam box, a silicone mold (in the shape of the box, a silicone tray and another silicone ice mold and cover and finally a storage bag. It came with no printed instructions. However, it didn’t come with directions on the side.I fitted the pieces together as they should be, then filled with hot water from the tap. You could use cold but I prefer hot water. The directions states: freeze for 48 to 50 hours.After about 2 days I pulled it out of the freezer and was at a stand still. How the heck was I supposed to get the cubes out of the mold? Too easy. I was able to easily remove the block from the styrofoam box easily. I then took my meat tenderizer and tapped on the silicone block until I was able to slightly bend and twist the ice mold and able to separate it from the silicone box.My old fashions look classy and professionally made. I’m going to keep it cause I’ve been making 8 cubes at a time and storing them in zip lock bags. I’m giving it 4 stars cause they didn’t send instructions on how to remove the cubes.

Amazing stuff, one can indeed make perfect ice spheres with it. The cubes are HUGE and lovely, I've stopped buying ice cubes altogether. Thanks to the large capacity it's more than enough for me to make 2 batches and store them in the freezer, even if multiple friends pay us a visit. I'm very satisfied. I had no issue with the products durability, but I must add that I do take care of my tools, and I am gentle with them.

Yup I said it, smaller balls than the last ice ball maker I had. It does make very clear ice with the Reverse Osmosis water we use at the house. If you bag them up and save them, they will frost over a little, but that goes away when you pour a drink. Let them sit out for a few minutes in the glass before you make your drink or they will crack.

Makes almost clear cubes (1st 2 pics) but can't compete with the 4-cube mold result (3rd pic) from the people who started it all at the company I cant name here (first part of their name starts with the name of the 4th season, second part is the most common last name around). In comparison to that other company's 4-cube maker, the price is notably lower and I can make twice as many cubes, though the mold and flimsy cover mean it's easy to spill water everywhere as you move it to the freezer (don't put in a freezer drawer - It will spill water all over if you need to get anything else out of the drawer and inadvertently move the mold b4 the water is frozen. I'll keep it around to make a batch of 'economy-class' cubes for large parties but for the times I'm wanting to present a truly 1-st class cocktail, I'm sticking with that 'other' company's 4-cube maker.

The square ice came out fine. Of the 8 cubes, 4 were completely clear. For the ones that were not clear, it might have had to do with the lid in contact with the water, shearing, and bubbles, and I'll try to avoid such things on the next round. I used (bottled) spring water (from Trader Joe's) that I boiled only once. Make sure you have space in your freezer. I placed the unit at the very back of the freezer. After the process, I placed the 8 cubes in individual, small Ziploc bags. If you store them all in a single Ziploc, they'll freeze together. The cubes are much too large for your ordinary drinking glass. If you have a wide mouth glass (I use a mug for ice tea), it's fine. I don't drink alcohol so I'll never know how well they'll fit into a bourbon or whiskey glass. Since it makes only 8 cubes over 30-36 hrs, you'll have to plan ahead for a large party. I like the look of clear ice so it was a fun science project. The very simple instructions include the science on how the ice remains clear.
