Ice Cube Tray, aKosco Round Ice Trays Ice Ball Maker Mold for Freezer, Circle Ice Mold Making 104 * 4Pack, Tiny Ice Cube Tray Crushed Ice for Chilling Drinks Coffee Juice Cocktail

The media could not be loaded.  These trays are great. It comes with 4 trays so you can make a lot of ice quickly. The storage bin is awesome for making ice ahead and having it for small parties. It also comes with a scoop. The ice was easy to remove from the tray. This gives the crushed ice feeling to your drink without the need for a machine!

I can’t afford an ice machine so this helps me keep my ice supply full.

Started with One star, but now this gets 3 Stars because The bucket Cracked the first use. It does not come with directions to help you know immediately the best way to use it right, so it wastes your time and energy. I was preparing to return it when someone showed me the right way to prep the trays. Once I saw what to do -IT'S SO EASY! -- I decided to keep them. I Left my original review below the following paragraph. I Did not want to deal with the cheap bucket because it was going to keep being a cheap bucket, so I grabbed an extra storage container I had which was equal in size but freezer rated. I tried the trays the way I was shown, and Voila! 4 perfectly full trays in an easy few minutes plus freeze time. SELLERS SHOULD INCLUDE INSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE IT IS NOT OBVIOUS TO ALL BRAIN TYPES!!!! I also eventually found that another seller, maybe the manufacturer, has a video for these on Amazon which will show you how to use them, so check it out if you can find it. I don't know how I stumbled it on it or how to get to it again.The bucket is cheap plastic and is far too rigid. It cracked the first time I used it. It has #405 on it, and this is not a rating. 405 is a Distribution Plastics Co. It feels misleading. Plastics should state that they are freezer safe on the product. Turns out this plastic is not identified as freezer safe. The crack happened in a key point of strength too. The crack started in a corner then spread up a side, along the bottom corner edge, and around to a third side. This means it will only spread further and has lost any integrity or tensile strength it may have had for holding, carrying, or fulfilling its core purpose. That crack is going to grow with each filling, each time ice is scooped out, or ice dumped in. The brittle failure of the bucket is ensured. It will continue to fail with each change or measure of stress that is put on it. It's no good to me. The bucket that was not made for this use is reason enough to not buy it. Find one that establishes its product is freezer safe.As for the small beautiful balls of ice. I loved the idea. It did not occur to me that I should be thinking about the science behind the design. The trays slide stack on each other but need to be full of water all the way above the balls; they are going to freeze together. This means a need to twist and break apart the trays as well as the layer of top water that needs to remain on each one in order to maintain a full, airfree ball of ice. That layer is not what you want in the bucket. It's ugly, jagged, and breaks apart randomly. The random sizes of the top sheet of ice mean you are going to be picking it out or smashing it apart to crush it for ice. It's work. Ice should not require work.When I opened each of the trays after the first freeze, half the tray was empty of ice or water each time. I quickly deduced the fact that the air could not escape the airtight sphere made by the design, and the water couldn't create enough power to enter the ice holes to fill and replace the air without a lot of encouragement. It needs to be the correct encouragement. No instructions for what process to use came in my packaging, so I was left to my own selections based on what I knew about how air and water work together in a shallow shared space. There aren't just a few. I am on my second attempt, but even if it works. I will tell you this. I am still returning them and getting my money back. The second attempt took me 45 minutes, and some sweating, some aerobic activity, a lot of water on the counter, and a long-running tap while water was wasted down the drain. It took toothpicks, tapping, spinning, rubbing, pressing, and if you are not wearing gloves, you better have the most pristine fingertips with absolutely no way that your skin is coming off in those tiny little holes that you are rubbing repetitively. Even after all this, somehow air bubbles find their way back into the ice round. This becomes tedious.

Perfect for my new camper.

Makes enough ice for the day fast

I really like and enjoy this ice tray set, it does it's job well. Pros: I love the round ice balls and easy assembly (fill the bottom tray and snap on top tray with holes). Cons: 1.) How water can sometimes squirt up from tray holes when snapping the top on. 2.) Filling the ice tray with water the traditional way will splash water everywhere. The addition of the ice container was an awesome idea.

I ordered this and it arrived with the clear ice bin cracked. (outer package wasn't damaged)I requested a replacement and it came the next day! But again the clear bin is cracked. I will be keeping the blue ice cube trays but I am disappointed the clear bin is not good quality as it would be the perfect size to store ice in the freezer. 3 stars for bin quality but I would say 5 stars for how quickly the replacement was sent! And I'm looking forward to making ice in the trays as they seem better quality.

This is another ice sphere maker from ITWIST, although it may be sold by someone else. This one makes tiny little spheres (about 1/2" in diameter). It makes 104 spheres per tray. Using all four trays you can make 416 spheres pretty quickly!As with all ice makers of this type, you fill the bottom half of the mold with water up to a line on the mold, put the top half of the mold in place, and press the halves together. Water must come out of the holes in the top half of the mold to insure that the cavities are full of water. Then place the mold in the freezer and wait until everything is frozen. Then remove from the freezer, separate the two halves (this will be easier if you allow the mold to warm up a few minutes on the counter, but I never do that). Then turn the mold halves over and give them a twist over the ice bin. Check both halves. Sometimes ice will adhere to both sides. That's all there is to it.What are these good for? They're small so they're going to melt quickly. I would recommend using them in beverages that are already chilled, where they will appear as floating pearls.You could also use them to chill a beverage down quickly. But you would probably only want to do that in water, which won't be diluted by the melting ice. But you could use crushed ice for that, and crushed ice is usually easier to obtain.I have several different types of these molds. They make different shapes, but I find them pretty easy to use and I get great results.Five stars.
