OXO Good Grips Covered Ice Cube Tray (Large Cube), Dark Blue

Makes 6 fairly large, but not over-sized ice cubes that are easy to extract from the rubber mold. 1) There's the holding tray for housing your blue ice cube mold. 2) The actual blue rubber ice cube mold for making your ice cubes. 3) The cover that goes on top of everything to keep the water from spilling out so you can transport the unit into the freezer. What's great about this item is that the ice cubes are nice and big and easy to extract from the mold. They fit most glasses, even tall and narrow. Because the cubes are fairly large, they last much longer and you don't need as many. Our fridge's ice cube maker hasn't worked the day we bought the refrigerator. We will not buy another fridge with ice maker ever again. We also don't like buying bagged ice because the ice eventually freezes together and a third of the bag becomes useless. The bagged ice also takes up considerable room in our freezer. We liked the first tray we got so much, we purchased a second one so we could make a dozen at a time. It does take longer to freeze them because they're bigger, but after we make a dozen or so, we don't care how long it takes because we just reach in the bucket we put them in and use them for whatever we need them for. OXO makes pretty decent stuff too. We've bought other kitchen items from them and so far have been happy with our choices. If you're tired of dealing with little cubes and the hassle of storing them, then this may be the item that changes all of that.

If you want nice, evenly sized, large ice cubes that aren't a hassle to make, this is your product. It's pretty easy to use, even when removing the frozen cubes from the mold, which is the downfall of many similar products. Like most Oxo products, it's well made and durable. But if you want to make home versions of the large crystal clear ice cubes that you get in restaurants and bars, this isn't it. No matter how pure the water or how long you boil it first, they will still be at least half cloudy. And that might suit your needs just fine. But for the crystal clear cubes, you need something like this: https://a.co/d/cUHy2my

I got this ice cub maker for some fun in drinking beverages because of the large ice cube it produces. After using it for a month or so I'll say that this did not disappoint me. However, some small things are bothering me. Pros: - After filling up the water and closing the lid, the water inside would not spill unless you shake or move it hard. It's one of the things I love most about this tray. With the average ice cube tray it's common to spill the water when moving it from the water fountain to the fridge. - No intense plastic smell. Couldn't smell anything even the first time use it. Be sure to wash it before use though. - Decent ice size. The ice cube size is honestly smaller than what I expected. Around 2.5x the average refrigerator ice cube size. However, they fit into basically every cup perfectly, whether a Stanly size cup or a Mark cup. - Great quality. The cover does not feel like cheap plastic; it's strong and stable. The silicon for the ice maker is also pretty high quality built with no smell of plastic or rubber. Cons: - a weird taste after the ice is fully melting. - sometimes hard to remove ice blocks from the silicon. I recommend leaving it at room temperature for a bit after you take it out of the refrigerator. - hard to get rid of the water on the silicon ice maker, would freeze up and stick on the refrigerator sometimes. After using it for around 5-6 times I came back to the refrigerator ice because of the trouble of taking out the ice from the tray. Would recommend it for the ones who want a large ice cube or don't have an ice maker, but not for those who already have an ice maker in their refrigerator

I once had some of the Ice Ball makers and they were not worth the effort that it took to use them. So, I started looking at big cubes. There are several brands out there to choose from, but Oxo typically has a good reputation. I was particularly drawn to this product because it makes 6 cubes (most make 2 or 4) and because it has a hard case that is stackable. So far, I am very pleased. I have two of these and with distilled water they make perfect, crystal clear, GIANT ice cubes. This goes great with a rocks glass and some Bourbon. It can be difficult to get the cubes out of the tray; especially if you keep your freezer as cold as mine. However, if you let them sit at room temperature for a couple minutes; then you can pop the cubes right out. I liked the first one I bought so much that I bought a second one a few days later.

This is fantastic if you want big cubes. I bought the smaller sized one also, which I do not like. This one, the cube pop right out. The smaller one, I gave up and let the cube melt. (trash)

These ice cubes don't last as long as I'd hoped, but they do last a lot longer than normal ice cubes. Once you know the tricks to getting the cubes out of this silicone mold, it is an easy process. Look at the tray in landscape orientation, so you see holes 1-2-3 and below them 4-5-6. Assuming you've already frozen them for 2 days (one day is not enough for these large cubes; allow 2 days), flip the mold over and press out cube #2 and then #5. The first one you push out, will only protrude a centimeter, perhaps, and you'll have to grab it and pull it out. #5 will come out a bit easier. Now for the corners (1, 3, 4, and 6), just make sure the outer corner of the mold isn't going to catch on the corner of the cube (I roll it back below the top of the cube) and then you can press the bottom of that slot and the cube will come right out on its own. This is a quality product, so the silicone doesn't tear. I taste NO flavor in the ice from these trays. Put the silicone mold into the hard plastic bottom carrier before you fill the slots with water. The carrier makes it easy to carry from sink to freezer, and the hard lid snaps onto the bottom, making these stackable in the freezer.

Good product

Love this ice cube tray - the solid lid and base make it easy to place the tray in the freezer, and the silicone inner makes it easy to remove the cubes once frozen. And they are a great size! Purchased for myself to have an occasional gin - but they've ended up being used daily by family who also love the size of these large cubes. We have an automatic ice cube machine for smaller/regular ice cubes but these big ones make a nice change in drinks and are very easy to make. Highly recommend!

Good quality, repeat purchase. It’s sturdy and easy to fill and use. Not flimsy at all. Push one ice cube out at a time. With cover is easy to stack.

This works wonderfully, the ice cubes come out easily and the material seems to be strong enough to stretch. No strange smell or taste. The lid and tray are also a very useful addition, although sometimes a bit of ice may get stuck to the lid.
