Fair enough. These trays are excellent. Cubes really do last longer because, unlike regular "twist-and-crack" trays, these trays make perfectly intact cubes. No more shattered bits of ice to skitter across your kitchen floor, waiting to be stepped on by unsuspecting bare feet. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to carrying a refilled tray to the 'fridge and sliding the new frozen cubes out. Other than that, these trays are excellent. Please note that the yellow trays cost less than the other colors. If you're freakish enough to care about the color of your ice cube trays, you probably have much more pressing problems.

The ice cubes come out beautifully - perfect cubes and intact (not chipped or cracked).

To get them out, push each cube from the bottom with your finger. For fastest and easiest results, wait for 5 minutes after taking the tray out of the freezer. This way, they'll pop right out. If you don't wait, your fingertip will be freezing while trying to push them out.

These trays were perfect for homemade baby purees. Each square is a perfect one ounce serving. I would make the food, transfer to the trays, wrap with plastic wrap, pop them in the freezer. They are easy to get the cubes out of - no hassle like with regular ice cube trays.

These trays are great for making baby food. Because they are soft, you can VERY EASILY pop out frozen cubes of sweet potatoes, mango, pureed chicken, etc... and they make perfect neat little squares. You can also pop one cube out at a time which is nice if just want to thaw one serving and not freezer-bag the whole tray. I **think** each cube is a measured two tablespoons which is also helpful if you're keeping track of how much your baby is eating. (it's been awhile since I measured it, but I think that's correct)

I am giving them only 4 stars because I bought an identical set at Bed, Bath and Beyond and for some reason they smelled perfumey just like their store. After 4 washings they still smelled like perfume. The ones I got from Amazon did not.

I only gave this 3 stars for 2 reasons. Because there is no space for the cold air to surround the water, it takes forever to freeze solid, especially in an RV. When it does freeze solid, it is extremely difficult to get the cubes out. I do like the ice they make but I do dread actually using them.

I have now thrown these in the the trash - they give your drink an unpleasant plastic taste and leave a residue on the side of your glass.

These little silicon wells, do make cubic cubes, but the cubes are harder to remove than regular ice cube trays, which just crack out. I suppose it is easier to take out a single cube with this.

However, since they are silicon, they can be used in the oven too, or as a mold for chocolates or other goodies.

anyway, they are a frivolous item.

These trays make perfectly square ice cubes and they seem to last longer than traditionaly cubes. Once you get the hang of it, it is fairly easy to pop out the cubes. Sometimes it's a pain, but it's much better than cracking your plastic tray to get them out.

These silicone ice cub trays leave a waxy residue in your drinking glass! Makes you wonder how much of the "coating" sticks to your gut!

The cubes from these trays are nice and cube-shaped, but this does not make up for the trouble of removing them from the tray. The trays are squishy and each cube must be individually removed from it's space. This makes for some cold fingers by the time you are finished emptying the tray. Not bad in the summer, but positively numbing in the winter
