Top 10 Ice Trays
for October 2023

The Ice Cube Tray is a thoughtful addition to any kitchen, and it's ideal for everything from making ice cubes for drinks, to freezing baby food, to making chocolate. The silicone material makes cleanup easy, and the trays stack nicely for easy storage. The cubes melt slowly, and the ice lasts a long time, so you don't have to use the ice trays as frequently as you do with other trays. The cubes also release easily, and the ice trays are flexible, so you don't have to press hard to release cubes. The trays also work well for melting chocolate, and they make small cubes, so they're great for baby food and drinks.

The Samuelworld Ice Cube Trays make long, sturdy ice cubes that have a lively, well-mixed flavor. The cubes are large enough for cocktails, and we found that they stayed cold much longer when we filled them with water, rather than with fruit juice. Like the Skooba Cubes, these cubes are convenient to use, since they don't have to be scraped out of the tray before freezing. They are made of a BPA-free, food-grade plastic, so they're safe to drink from, and they are also microwave-safe, so you can melt the cubes for cocktails or soups. The tray is also easy to clean, and it comes with four 2.5-inch large spheres and six jumbo squares. The cubes and spheres are sold separately, but we found that six jumbo cubes were enough to fill our 6-ounce cocktail glasses. The spheres are a bit too big for 8-ounce glasses, so we used them mostly for punches. The Samuelworld Ice Cube Trays didn't freeze as fast as the Skooba Cubes or the Perfect Ice Cube Trays, and we had to leave them in the freezer for about 12 hours before they were completely frozen. But the cubes are noticeably larger than those from competing trays, and we found that the cubes remained cool far longer, so they're a good choice for large parties.

The Wibimen ice cube tray is a versatile little device that is perfect for making ice spheres, cubes, or blocks. The tray, made of stainless steel, is durable, and it's dishwasher-safe. The tray is simple to fill, and it's very easy to squeeze the tray to make a perfectly round ice cube. The cubes freeze quickly, and the ice pop out of the tray easily. Because the ice is frozen in a sphere, it melts more slowly, so the ice doesn't dilute your drink as much. The Wibimen ice cube tray is very weakly designed. The tray holds only 33 ice balls, and so you only make two servings of ice per tray, and the ice balls are so small that it's hard to get many of them out of the tray without getting ice all over your hands. The tray is also too small to fill completely, so you end up with ice at the bottom of the tray, which melts when you put it in the freezer. The Wibimen ice cube tray is inexpensive, and it's a good option for making ice spheres or cubes, but if you're looking for a large ice cube tray, we recommend you look at our other picks.

The Adoric Large Cube Tray and Sphere Ice Ball Maker are a great, inexpensive way to make your own ice. The tray is large enough to ice two drinks at once, and the ice balls are large and smooth and melt slowly, making them ideal for chilling Whisky. The silicone molds and tray are easy to clean, and the tray is dishwasher safe. The molds are also dishwasher-safe, but we'd recommend using soap to avoid damage to the silicone. The molds are expensive, but the tray is inexpensive, making them a great buy.

The VEHHE Ice Cube Trays are significantly better at keeping ice frozen than our previous pick, the Ziploc Ice Cube Trays, and the silicone construction makes them much more flexible, making it easy to mold them into shapes. The removable lid also makes it easier to take ice out of the trays, and the lids are flexible enough that they fit over the cubes without crushing them. These trays are perfect for making cocktails and whiskey. We poured some whiskey into the trays, placed them in the freezer, then ran them under hot water for a few minutes, and the whiskey was perfectly chilled. We also used the trays to make smoothies, and we found they were much easier to clean up after than the Ziploc trays, which had more nooks and crannies. However, these trays are more expensive than our previous pick, and they aren't as flexible, so they're not as easy to use for molding ice cubes into different shapes.

These mini ice cubes are a great choice for chilling drinks. They're small, so they'll fit more easily into narrow bottles and narrow glasses, and they're also safer for small children, since they don't pose choking hazards. They freeze and thaw more quickly than regular ice cubes, so if you're not in a rush, you can let them sit in the freezer overnight and use them the next day. The trays are stackable, so they're convenient to use, and the tops are curved, so they won't scratch your glasses or bottles. The silicone is food-grade, so it's safe to use for drinking water, smoothies, and cocktails. The cubes hold drinks well, and they don't melt too quickly, so they don't take up as much room in your freezer as cubes made by larger trays.

These silicone ice cube trays are perfectly sized for sipping whiskey, mojitos, and other mixed drinks. They're also great for chilling wine, smoothies, and iced coffee, and they work great for making crushed ice for cocktails and slushies. They're also great for crushing hard candy and chocolate bites for parties or snacks. The silicone is soft and flexible, and the molds are sturdy and reusable. The trays are easy to fill, and the cubes come out easily, too. They work well in the freezer, and they don't leak much either. The only complaint is that the trays aren't dishwasher-safe, but that's OK; they're easy to clean by hand.

The Wetong Silicone Ice Cube Trays come with two covers, and we found that they fully enclose the cubes, preventing ice from absorbing other food odors or bacteria. The silicone is also flexible, so it's relatively easy to pop out ice cubes, although, as with most silicone, it's a bit harder to push out cubes from the center of the tray. The tray itself is slim and flat, so it's easily stored in the refrigerator. The covers are easy to remove, and we found the tray to be easy to clean. The tray is easy to clean, and we found the trays to hold ice better than some trays we tested, although it's not quite as good as the best. The tray is a good option if you're looking for a flexible, simple tray that's easy to store and clean.

OXO's Ice Cube Tray is compact, quick, and effective at making cubes. Its simple design makes it easy to use, and it's dishwasher-safe. The cubes are very large and uniform, and the lid is sturdy enough to keep them in place. The removable cover also prevents ice cubes from absorbing freezer odors. However, the tray is a bit pricey, and the trays aren't interchangeable with different sized cubes. We liked OXO's Ice Cube Tray, but we think our top pick, the Gourmia Ice Cube Tray, is slightly better. The Gourmia tray is larger and allows for more flexibility in the number of cubes produced.

If you spend a lot of time making ice for cocktails, beverages, or desserts, then these silicone ice trays are an essential tool. The ice cube trays are a breeze to use, and the cubes are easy to pop out, even with thick glasses and mugs. The silicone is easy to clean and is more durable than plastic. The trays come with a removable lid, which makes it easy to stack the trays in the freezer without wasting space. The trays are also easy to freeze, simply fill them with cold water, freeze, and then pop them out. The silicone is BPA-free, so it's safe to use with food. The trays are roughly the same size as the OXO ice cube trays we previously tested, so they're good for stacking together. The trays are a bit pricier than the OXO trays, but if you're making a lot of ice, they're well worth the extra money.
