This is great as an ice tray; you don't have to run water over the bottom, crack and twist the tray, and then get splintered ice, drips all over your kitchen, and too many or too few cubes. You don't have to turn it upside down; just push from the bottom and get exactly however many cubes--I mean, hearts! you want, with no breakage or mess. So I think it's a little more sanitary too--you don't have to handle the ice shapes much, or have them skittering all over the counter! The tray is a little soft and flexible so you do have to find a flat place in the freezer for it, and when I stacked another tray on top I got a little bit of "stickage" and a few misshapen hearts; not a big deal unless you wanted perfectly shaped decorative ice.

Tonight I also used them to make chocolates (by melting chocolate chips & peanut butter together), and am very pleased with how easy it is to remove the candies. I thought I might break the "points" off some of the hearts, but the silicone is stretchy so that didn't happen, and removing one doesn't disturb the others. These would make lovely butter pats too! Each well holds exactly one tablespoon of liquid.

Moms scour around for ice cube trays to make their own baby food, and I bought a couple of these heart shaped trays to try out. Seriously, these are super cute! I scooped in baby food into each ice cube heart and because the top of the tray is flat, you can use a straight edge and push the overflow into the next heart. I then put plastic wrap over each tray and stack them on top of each other in the freezer to freeze. Very clean and easy to push out of the mold. Not bulky.

Really cute little ice tray - I'm using it filled with fruit juice to make ice for the kids to munch on and they're loving it.
The only down side is the silicone is very soft and difficult to get in the freezer without spilling some..... use a tray of some kind, a lid from another container or ?

Loved serving drinks with these heart shaped ice cubes. They are small and dainty. Easy to remove from tray.

If this tray is made out of silicone, it isn't the normal, heat resistant stuff that my potholders are made of, because the packaging contains warnings that you should not put anything hot on or near it. Other than that, it seems to be of a good quality, be just as pictured on the internet, and work better than traditional plastic trays for ice cubes. I am a little disappointed that because it isn't heat resistant it cannot double as a jell-o mold or candy mold, but there is a reason that they sell things specifically for molding candy and other hot substances.

These made cute jello shapes for Valentines day.

But take the product description seriously - these are NOT dishwasher safe. One trip through the dishwasher has left the molds distorted and out of shape.

Received 3 Chinese knock-offs instead of the Lekue silicone ice trays I ordered. I am not pleased, as I specifically DON'T want kitchen items made in China. Hope I get my money back, but I'm not holding my breath.

Hoped it would mold divinity, but the candy is just far too sticky. Used it for ice though, and it works wonderfully!

These have made several batches of ice hearts for us already. We're set to try saving juice concentrates in them next, or mini fruit pops. They are extremely easy to pop out straight into a glass, and make for lovely additions to our party drinks. My own suggestion is that people who buy these have a very flat, easily accessible shelf in their freezers. Because of the silicone, they're not firm, and must be carefully held flat as they're transferred from the sink to the freezer, and laid completely flat to avoid spilling any water (or whatever else you want to put in them).

quick delivery, and i love my heart ice tray - apparently everyone else does too! very nice and i'll order again!
