But I busted 4 of them before I decided that these weren't the best ice cube tray. While at a friend's house, Tai noticed their ice cube tray. He thought theirs would be a good ice cube tray for us:
But when I bought that one, I saw these:
The perfect ice cube tray. They are silicone so the cubes pop right out. It says the cubes are supposed to come out in perfect cubes but I think that depends on how you fill it and if you have a level place to put it. They really are the perfect ice cube tray.
I hate to say it, but they aren't. I just pitched out two of them. They are flexible which means you need to be extra careful on the trip from the sink to the freezer lest you dump a lot of water on the kitchen floor. :( Also, because the things are flexible, the water expands in several directions as it freezes, not just up like a regular ice cube tray. The cubes can be a bit tricky to get out. I thought they smelled funny too, but that may just be me.
ReplyDeleteI got some long skinny ones from IKEA that make ice to fit in water bottles and I found the same thing...trip from sink to freezer was a mess...got a fridge with an ice maker and it is not an issue anymore.
ReplyDeleteI threw ours out because everyone would use them up and then leave them empty on the counter for Mom to refill!!
