Color: Dark Blue

Amazon.com Product Description

Serve up some cool summer fun with help from this set of two ingenious ice-cube trays. A fresh and creative alternative to traditionally round-edged, rectangular cubes, each tray creates 15 perfectly square ice cubes that make a refreshing addition to lemonade, iced tea, and countless other warm-weather favorites. Alternately, use the snazzy little cubes as classy beds of ice beneath shrimp and cocktail sauce, veggies and dip, and other chilled finger foods during an appetizer party or game-day gathering. Constructed of flexible food-grade silicone, the trays firmly retain their shape while freezing and easily release their contents when through--no more broken cubes and ice shards. Furthermore, their wide rims make them simple to pull from the freezer, with low profiles that stack neatly together and require little storage space. While safe for use in the dishwasher, the manufacturer also recommends regularly hand washing the trays with a diluted water-and-vinegar solution to prevent freezer-caused odors. The set of two ice-cube trays come in a variety of colors, and each tray measures 7 by 4-1/2 by 1-1/2 inches.

Product Description

Sold in a handy set of two, these Tovolo Perfect Cube ice trays are sturdy and easy to fill. Made from soft, flexible food-grade silicone, the ice cube trays make perfectly shaped cubes that are easy to remove. These trays are dishwasher safe, and to avoid odors that can be absorbed in the freezer, simply wash the trays with a diluted solution of vingar and water. Makes a great housewarming gift.

4.0 out of 5 stars I rather liked these., January 17, 2008

This review is from: Tovolo Perfect Cube Ice Tray, Set of 2, Dark Blue (Kitchen)

I was surprised to see the reviews here.

* I don't taste 'rubber' from these.
* I do think the other points are fairly valid.

However, I still think these are really cool. Granted, they are not firm (no silicon is) so you have to hold them carefully after filling and put them on a flat surface in the freezer. Granted, silicon is not a slippery surface, so you can't push-slide them anywhere. Granted, they hold the cubes pretty well, so I twist it a couple times then tend to use my finger to push up on the bottom of the cubes I want to come out.

But on the other hand,
* They fit more ice cubes into a smaller space in my freezer.
* They are a better shape IMO.
* Unlike normal trays, they don't dump a dozen ice cubes everywhere when I just want a few out for a drink. I can push out what I want and put the tray back. So I consider this 'a feature not a bug'.

Now, if you have a need to very quickly use many trays of ice, so you need to be able to grab something, twist, get a shower of cubes, and move on, then this is NOT the ice cube tray for you.

But if you often use only some of the tray, and if freezer space is a premium, and if your fingers to push up on the bottom of a cube or pull it out are not crippled, then I think this is a great ice cube tray.

I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because some of the points people made are valid. It's simply that some of them are not any problem with the product, they are merely a factor of what the product inherently is, e.g., that it is not firm, that it will not 'slide', that all the cubes don't just fall out with a twist -- these are issues of silicon (or the literal cube shape rather than slightly slanted sides), which means it's a 'given' for the product, not a fault, just personal preference about this "kind" of product/feature.

If you want the cube shape, you get the "they don't all fall out at once". If you want the silicon, you get the "doesn't slide" and "isn't rigid". If you don't want those features, well don't buy this ice cube tray, and you'd have no complaints. I actually wanted them, so I think it's a good product.

5.0 out of 5 stars You need to know what you are buying, August 18, 2009

This review is from: Tovolo Perfect Cube Silicone Ice Cube Tray (Set of 2) (Kitchen)

This item has nearly as many bad reviews as good reviews, and the simple reason is that half the people were expecting a traditional plastic made stiff and brittle ice tray that would crack in three months.

This ice tray is made of flexible material. The pro is that you can push out one cube at a time without splattering you counter top with a dozen of them. The con is that you can't get all the cubes out at once even if you want. Again, the pro is that it won't crack ever: it can be cut with a knife but can't possibly be cracked. The con is that you have to be careful when filling in the cubes all at a time ere you splash out the water from this flexible tray.

Now that you know what it is, buy it if you think you need it, as I did and am happy with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for Homemade Baby Food!, January 14, 2009

By 

Mountain Mama (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tovolo Perfect Cube Silicone Ice Cube Tray (Set of 2) (Kitchen)

I bought these trays because silicone is one of the least toxic materials for food handling and because each cube is one ounce, which makes measuring my baby's food easy.

I absolutely love them. It's a little work (maybe one minute) to get all the cubes out, but not difficult at all. They freeze quickly - i haven't stacked them on top of one another though.

The only small complaint i have is they are obviously porous, and it takes a good scrubbing to remove the smell of whatever food I last froze in the tray.

However, I think this is the perfect, fairly inexpensive, baby food freezer tray (the other non-BPA etc. versions are way more expensive).
