OXO Good Grips No-Spill Ice Cube Tray

Tray holds 14 good sized oblong ice cubes, which can also fit through the neck of a 1L flask, great for keeping drinks ice cold for days out.The tray is semi rigid and does not flex or bend when carrying it to the freezer, but will release the frozen cubes easily by twisting it.The silicone lid seals the water in by laying completely flat over the tray, but you have got to gently smooth over the lid to get the seal.You then tip the whole tray to drain excess water from the drainage channels which catch the excess water that spills over while you fill it.If the lid is on correctly, there should be no leakage from the ice cube holes.Best to freeze this reasonably flat to ensure no leakage, you could get away with a bit of an angle but not sure about tipping it right up on its side.I Remove the cubes and place in a freezer bag to take up less room in the freezer. Could probably do 2 to 3 batches to stock up a fair number of cubes, and then remove the tray ( it's much bigger than a standard ice cube tray ).Some of the reviews have complained about a plastic taint to the cubes.I suspect they have not received the genuine article but a cheap copy.The genuine tray is of a high quality and the food grade materials used have no odour whatsoever.

Our freezer is small and often tightly packed, and this lets us freeze ice-cubes anyway, nestled in amongst the frozen veg.The rigid outer frame makes it easy to take in and out. While it does still need to be kept flat, briefly tipping it a bit doesn't spell disaster.The ice cube trays themselves are excellent: compact, and easy to pop the frozen cubes out again. I would recommend this to anyone, and buy another immediately if I lost it.

These were delivered super quickly to me in Iceland, ordered late Sunday evening, was shipped on Monday and delivered to me on Tuesday!These are far from perfect but they are pretty good.I wanted to make a lot of ice so I purchased 4 of these.I have not tried to store those on the side in the freezer but they do seem to be leak proof, I have put them upside down outside of the freezer and given them a little shake and everything seems fine :)My only problem with those is that when the water freezes it freezes with a layer over all of the cubes connecting them together so I can't easily get them out... I have tried putting less water in but that seems to make no difference. Fortunately the under side of the tray is hollow so it is easy to pour hot water on the tray if you put it upside down, this will crack the ice making it easier to get the cubes out. (never bang or twist the trays!)I think the reason for this trouble of mine is that I stack all of them evenly and perfect. But since the top is made of silicone, and therefore soft, the bottoms of the upper trays sit in the slots for the lower ones pressing the water out of the compartments and making the excess water freeze all over the cubes.So to avoid this problem I either recommend not stacking these OR stack them unevenly making sure that the bottoms of the upper tray don't sit in the slots of the lower tray. If you can't stand looking at an uneven stack of ice cube trays, I recommend going for the oxo that has a solid plastic top, not these soft silicone ones. Although if you want leak proof ones and don't care about how you stack them or if you only want a single tray, these are grate ;)Theses cubes are very big so they take a very long time to freeze, therefore I recommend collecting them in a bag as soon as they are ready, that way you never run out of ice and you don't have to wait all day for a new batch ;)

A pair of stacking silicone small ice cube trays housed in a hard plastic frame with clip shut lid.With practice, not over filling each ice cube compartment allows for the water to expand upon freezing, still leaving room and avoiding trays/lid to stick together upon use.However, if stuck together, either allow a minute or so or gentle but sharp tap to dislodge. This is a characteristic of all ice cub trays, yet this design lessens the issue.The lid prevents contamination, allowing stacking.Ideal for party time and allows better freezer storage due to the compact design.Also bought the large single layer ice cube lidded tray. Similar comments but ice cubes melt far more slowly and have a more effective cooling effect. Good for those who wish to have water with their whisky, etc.Overall a well designed and effective pair of products.

I was initially sceptical about making ice cubes, just 6 at a time. However, they are awesome, which I didn't tihnk I'd be saying about ice cubes. They last ages and do the job. Very pleased. They're quite awkward to remove, but worth the effort. Just make sure that your glass is large enough to accomodate the titanic ice bergs.
