Homessentials Large Ice Cube Tray with Lid, Spill Proof, Easy Release 2 inch Large Ice Cube Mould for Drinks, Blue 01 Pack

Ooh. I've recently become a fan of decent rum, a fine bourbon, and the occasional single malt, and the next step was a big old chunk of Bond Villain ice. My freezer isn't big enough for artisanal thousand-year-old Norwegian iceberg so obviously a £6 ice cube tray is the next best thing. The lid is very handy, to stop the water from sloshing and freezing the tray to a packet of frozen peas (don't pretend this hasn't happened to you. No? Only me then). The ice cubes take *ages* (okay about five hours) to freeze properly and they are proper chunky! Easy to remove, thankfully. Make a very satisfying clunk in the tumbler, only just fit, and almost last a lifetime before melting. I did look at ways to make the ice clear, and it's all a bit science-experiment-meets-hipster-beard but if that's your thing then there's ways (double boiled, distilled water, something-something salt water). Personally, I don't care that my chunks are cloudy. Makes 'em look mysterious while I sip my bourbon, white Persian cat on my lap, plotting how to become the next (not so) Benign World Dictator.

Lids are great as keeps the ice clean. Easy to remove ice cubes. As silicone little tricky to keep the trays flat when first putting into freezer so I used plastic lids to slide into place. worked a treat.

Good tray, huge cubes 1 per dink lasts for ages. Tray is soft and so is the lid, so it is not so easy to make spill-free ice cubes.

Big so 1 ice cube does the job in your drink. Silicone case with lid so they are easy to remove.

The items arrived on time, were well packed and as described. I was happy with the price.The ice trays have been filled but I have yet to take these out of the freezer to remove the cubes. I see no reason why they should be a problem. It is unlikely that I will use these for anything other than ice.

These are great for using in an Old Fashioned. Very easy to pop the ice cubes out and to clean.

I bought this ice making moulds to freeze left over coconut cream, chow mein sauces etc. If I fill every single cube, it's impossible to take one out when I freeze them. So annoying. I haven't try it for ice making. Other than that it's nice material not too thin. It keeps it's shape when filled and freezed. The lid does amazing job to avoid nasty freezer smell.

I got this to store pizza base sauce in the freezer, it's so easy to just pop 1 out and defrost when making pizzas. The lid ensures that no bits get in the sauce. Would imagine it makes great ice cubes for cocktails etc.
