OXO Good Grips Silicone Small Ice Cube Tray with Lid | Ideal for Cocktails

I wasn't sure about spending $13 on an ice cube tray, but it's been so well worth it. Enjoying an ice cube tray this much is full on adulting. I've been using a set of basic 12-cube trays that are mostly plastic with just the bottoms of the cube portion made of silicone. They were annoying though because the plastic had cracked, I was always spilling the water the in freezer or didn't have enough room in the freezer. The size of the cubes are perfect for me, not too large, not tiny. I love that this cube tray is so much more compact, so you only need a little space in the freezer and can even set other items above or below it. I was skeptical about the cover really preventing spillage, but I haven't had any issues and already made about 8 batches of ice. I love how sturdy it is and that it comes with 2 trays (and unlike my old ones, I don't have to precariously balance these to avoid the top tray falling into the bottom one). While all the ice doesn't fall right out, I don't find it that difficult to get the cubes out. Even with my old basic ice trays, I had to bang, dig and fight to get half the cubes to come out. With this one, it's usually just a few around the edges that take a few extra seconds to push out. This is truly a great design for a cube maker and should become the standard for all ice trays.

I was looking for silicone ice trays after reading about microplastics and how I'm probably eating the equivalent of a credit card a day. Because OXO rarely disappoints, I opted for these. Before I did, I read the reviews - caveat emptor and all - so I was prepared for the ice cube challenge. Here's what I've got: 1. These are little. I read the size. I read the reviews. I was prepared for small. But I was not prepared for *this* small. We are talking petite little squares. Elf-sized. The upside is they're cute and work well in smaller glasses. The downside? Well, either plan to spend a whole lot of time monitoring your ice inventory and making more ice or buy a couple of these. 2. Water expands when it freezes, so *of course* if you put the wrong ice tray in the bottom of the stand and fill it up to the top, it's going to expand and freeze onto the other one. This is not rocket science. It's chemistry. As the water freezes and hydrogen bonds form between water molecules, the bonds form a pattern called a lattice. The lattice prevents water molecules from packing together, so water expands upon freezing. So... 3. There is a top silicone tray and a bottom silicone tray. The bottom silicone tray has a fill line. Do not fill the water higher than the fill line, and make sure to put the bottom tray on the bottom. This will solve your "sticking together" problem. 4. When you fill the trays with water, make sure you use the bottom support tray. Don't fill the silicone tray and then place it in the bottom plastic tray - that results in a wobbly, watery mess. Instead, keep the bottom silicone tray in the hard plastic tray, then once filled, stack the top tray and again, do not overfill. Put the lid on and then walk to the freezer with your elf-sized ice cube tray. No spilling, no wobbling. I use a measuring cup with a pour spout to make it nice and neat and avoid overfilling it. 5. Removing the cubes is also not rocket science. But it can be easily done by creating a physical phase change from frozen water to liquid water. Just put some hot water into the top plastic tray - not boiling, just hot - and set the silicone tray into it. A small amount of melting occurs very quickly, and you can easily pop your cubes out. You'll be doing this a lot if you use even a moderate amount of ice, so good to have a plan. The top tray is the one to use because it's a little deeper. Overall, I would recommend these with the caveat re the size. OXO really, really, really needs to make a larger version of this - and I don't just mean larger cubes (though something closer to normal would be nice), but at least a larger tray. For those of us who are neither elves nor willing to devote our waking hours to making ice, these are a little too small. Otherwise, thumbs up, but petite thumbs.

Our ice maker broke, so we bought this to replace it. It has been very helpful. The ice is a good size and pops out very easily, I remember the plastic ice cube trays were always hard to pop out but this is no issues. And this makes a lot more ice than the plastic ones. We have probably made 40 trays of ice and it is holding up great. I love that the top tray is bigger than the bottom one to help it easily sit on the bottom tray. The lid is so helpful!

Cubes are small used for my water bottle which I like but lid is hard to remove when frozen so I don’t put the lid on.

Great buy! Love them. Bought 4:).

Nothing fancy. Simple product that stacks 2 ice trays on top of each other and keep them together. Work as intended and quality is good.

Bästa isbrickan jag använt. Perfekt storlek/format på isbitarna och bra antal. Eftersom det är en försluten låda kan den enkelt placeras var som helst i frysen utan risk för läckage (men se till att den står upprätt). Värt att nämna är att p.g.a. förslutningen och att den har två lager så tar det aningen längre tid för isbitarna att bli genomfrusna jämfört med en traditionell isbricka. Eftersom fruset vatten expanderar, se till att inte fylla formarna hela vägen upp, då det leder till att isbitarna sammanfogas i toppen och blir mycket svårare att få ut.

The product seems good at first. Flexible silicone. It is neat and comes with a lid. The cube is on the small size though. After less than a month, the silicone is already torn off. Not sure if it’s still safe to use…
