Product Description
Fill and freeze these 2-inch round orbs for a fun cube alternative. Pack them with mint leaves, basil, fruits and more. Or fill ice balls with juice, lemon or lime segments. Use them in pitchers, cocktails, punch bowls, and tumblers, the larger size means drinks stay cooler longer, ice balls won't melt as fast. Because of the silicone top seal, ice won't smell like leftover food in your refrigerator. Set them out for all to marvel. BPA free, top shelf dishwasher safe. Includes small pieces: not intended for use with children 3 years old or younger.

Some tips if you are going to buy this:
1) don't try any pry the ice out, you will destroy the product. Don't even try to open the ball once the water has frozen. Again, you will destroy the product. Instead run some water over it and try to slowly open it. You shouldn't need much force once a layer of water is between the ice and plastic
2) Don't expect perfectly round ice. Usually the ice pushes the mold open a little and looks a little morphed.
3) This is personal preference but I like clear ice. Boil distilled water wait for it to cool and use that in your mold. Before you boil the water though, rinse out the pot you are going to boil water in with the distilled water so there aren't any minerals left in the pot. Distilled water is only $1/gallon and sold at most grocery stores. Your ice still wont be completely clear but trust me, it will look a lot better. ENJOY

These four individual ice molds make the best large ice balls for serious bourbon or single malt scotch drinkers. For making a globe or ice ball, fill the plastic globes with water, clip the lid shut, freeze for 6 hours and VOILA, the perfect size for a single "rocks" glass with minimal "melt." They are easy to fill and even easier to remove after they are frozen - ice ball pops right out! Product says it can also be used for other liquids. Make several and keep them frozen in a plastic bag in the freezer!

I use these for my cocktails, and whilst I'm sure there is some benefit to the shape in terms of not all melting at once, I just really like the shape.
It does take a little practice to get the fill level correct so the container doesn't pop open as it freezes (no spilling if it does open up as the edges have already frozen). Not a big deal, but if you overfill you won't get very round ice balls (they'll have a tire in the middle!).
Handy hint: If you fill them and let the water settle for a little while, the balls will come out less cloudy. I've heard boiling the water beforehand and letting cool will produce less cloudy ice too.

Great
Perfect for filling and tossing in the freezer.
Wish the plastic was a bit thicker...we will see how long they last. Use them a few times a week! Read more

Best Balls ever
The best balls I have had in a long time. Works great for drinking spirits straight. Just wish I bought more. Fill 3/4th before freezing.

Novelty wares off.
They're a good size ... but they're a pain to fill and remove (you have to partially melt them to open the case). Read more

Not the best for the task.
They are easy enough to fill, but once frozen, the ice can be a bit difficult to take out of the molds. Read more

Much smaller than the picture suggests
I bought these thinking they'd fit regular size glasses but are actually much smaller than the picture suggests - barely larger than regular ice cubes. Read more
