Mini Ice Cube Trays by niceCube, The Original Tiny Cubes for Small Crushed Ice, Silicone, 2 Pack

Product Information

If you’ve ever splattered water everywhere while trying to fill an ice cube tray, you’re not alone. It’s more intuitive to pour your water directly over the flat spot in the tray—the space between the cubes. With this method, water disperses evenly to each cube with no spillage. This old-school tray makes 18 parallelogram-shaped cubes, and while it’s certainly not flexible, the handle at the center flips up to help extract the ice. For best use, we suggest filling the tray just three-quarters of the way with water and then adding the divider. During testing, we found that the ice cube tray lid did indeed prevent spills on the way from the faucet to the freezer, as well as when the tray was tipped at an angle while freezing. It may take some practice to smooth the lid until sealed and tip it over the sink to remove all excess water from the rim. Water trapped there may build up underneath the lid as it freezes, making it a bit difficult to remove.

It’s disappointing to buy a beautiful bunch of basil only to need a small amount and have no way to use the rest. That's where freezing comes in, and you have two options for doing so in an ice cube tray: water or olive oil. Be warned, though: When you thaw your herbs, they will no longer be suitable for salads or garnishes. The liquid they’re frozen with makes them a little mushy, but still delicious for use in sauces, dips, and marinades.A leak-proof ice cube tray with a sturdy base is important to prevent water or other liquids from spilling out of the tray and into your freezer. The Icebreaker Pop Ice Maker is an expertly designed ice cube mould that allows you to pop the ice cubes out by pulling on the straps so that you can serve them directly into your drinks. As the container is closed when not in use, it's 100% watertight and spill-proof so you can store it in any position you like. Silicone to stainless steel ice cube trays - different designs available Trays with removable lids. An ice cube tray with a removable lid is great for stopping liquids from accidentally spilling over the sides and freezing. A lid also prevents freezer odours from entering the cubes and giving them an unpleasant taste. To fill round ice cube trays, make sure that the tray is on a level surface before filling the bottom half of the mold with water. For a globe-shaped mold, secure the top mold and then fill it through the small hole on top. For a tray-style mold, gently place the top part over the bottom and push it down, which will displace the water from the bottom tray and fill the top section of the sphere.

Both stainless steel and silicone ice cube trays are usually dishwasher-safe so you can put them in the dishwasher along with your other dishes for fast and fuss-free cleaning.
