Ice Cube Trays, Arctico 2 Pack Food Grade Silicone Flexible Ice Cube Molds with Lid, BPA Free with Spill-Resistant Removable Lid Ice Cube Molds for Chilled Drinks, Whiskey & Cocktails

There is a learning curve to efficiently filling and emptying these trays. I wish the lip around the tray was a bit higher to prevent spillage, its difficult to get the water even in every cell without overfilling and letting a bit flow between the cells by gently tipping/shaking it, but this usually causes spills.For removal I found it works best to flip the tray over and run some warm water over the back of it for a few seconds, the water wont wet the ice cubes if held properly due to the lip. This unseals the ice cubes from the bottom and makes them -far- easier to remove, they can then be mostly removed by pushing on the bottom to eject them from the tray. I am a bit rough with the mold because it is silicon and to me it should be able to be abused a bit, that's the entire point of having a silicon mold.This method does bend the silicon on the bottom a bit so the future cubes come out a bit curved on one side, this does not bother me. It could be corrected by simply setting them in the freezer on something flat to prevent the bottoms from drooping down in the center after being stretched a bit rather than on a freezer rack.

Looks nice. They are real silicon, first thing I did was hold an open flame on them. Slow to dry after coming out of the wash. They look like they’ll make great ice cubes but I haven’t used them yet because my housemates will throw them in the floor or pile them in the utility closet instead of leaving them to finish drying or putting them away. Maybe they’re too afraid of that sweet honeycomb appearance to mind their own business. I’ve begun to hide them around the house; under pillows and blankets, sticking out of corners just out of sight, waiting to be uncovered to shock and horrify with that honeycomb pattern.But yeah they seem like nice ice cube trays to me, I’ll try to use one someday. You’ll want to get a tray for them while they freeze. They are too jiggly to hold liquid and carry by hand without spilling.

My first silicone ice cube trays, exciting! I have two hard plastic OXO trays that work really well. I was curious, like to try new things. The OXO also have a silicone cover which is attached though removable - these trays come with an unattached lid. No biggie though, lid fits well if lightly. Quality and color are very nice, the lid is great for stacking, glad it came with it. The cubes themselves aren't very big, but that is a benefit to me as they fit through the opening on my reusable water bottle, which usually is only possible using elongated ice sticks (one of my OXO). The tray is easy to bend to detach the ice cubes. Unfortunately I need to use my fingers to remove part of the cubes despite being able to push the bottom silicone some. I was hoping not to have to touch the cubes (guests). If not all cubes are used, the remaining ones have to manually pushed back down so the lid stays on. I like the trays and will definitely use them through the summer in addition to my hard plastic trays, which I like bit better. I would recommend these trays.

It is a lot smaller than a traditional ice cube tray and the cubes are small so your drink will be watered down faster than with larger cubes. It is difficult to fill evenly without overfilling them. Also with silicone it takes longer to make ice. Popping out the cubes is not entirely difficult but they dont pop all the way out. They pop out about 1/2 way and my finger tips got frozen because you have to pull out each cube, one at a time. The 2 good things are that they fit very easily in my narrow mouth water bottle. And i liked the cover. Its not meant to be water tight seal but helps when stacking so that one tray doesn't sink into the other. These would probably be the only good reason to get these. Sorry...i really wanted to like these but they are not practical and difficult to use.

I love these trays!! I’ve always hated making ice, so much so that I stopped keeping ice for years. I wanted to start making ice again for shaken iced beverages. These are perfect! Small so they do not take up much space at all, covers so no worries about stuff getting into the ice. The cover does not snap on. That isn’t a problem whatsoever, I just thought it was a snap on lid from the pictures. The ice is so cute that now I like to make ice! So easy and fun to pop out the cubes. I’m going to look at more products with this company because I liked the trays

I really do like these ice cube trays, but I was a little hesitant at first. They are made of silicone, and feel a bit thin straight out of the package. I washed the set of 2 and went to fill them to make ice. You have to put it on a board or something to stabilize the tray, otherwise it will collapse with the water in it - that's why I docked a star. Then put on the lid. The lid just sits on top; doesn't snap on like I was expecting. But it will support the weight of the second on top. After freezing, the not-cube-shaped ice cubes are easy to remove, the lid fits better, it is stable enough for me to lay sideways with no worries, and the lid seems to keep freezer smells away from my ice. I'm making cold brew coffee ice next!

The product for the most part is exactly what I was looking for in an ice tray. I needed flexible silicone to easily remove the ice from the tray while still holding up with the liquid as I put it in the freezer. This does that, it has harder walls between the cells and outside to provide stability while the bottom is easy to push the ice out. The covers however are for the most part useless, they really dont fit until the water is completely frozen and can then just be used to cover the ice cubes. They still come off easily if the tray falls.
