Ticent Ice Cube Trays (Set of 2), Silicone Sphere Whiskey Ice Ball Maker with Lids & Large Square Ice Cube Molds for Cocktails & Bourbon - Reusable & BPA Free

I was looking to just get some Gentlemen's cubes for my bourbon to go with my big ball molds - they make single large balls but pop out very easily, so I was looking for a Large Cube tray that was silicone. When I saw this combo I figured that for a small difference compared to others, why not get some mini-balls to go with my big balls. The Big Cube tray is awesome - VERY SIMPLE to use. You put water in like you would a normal ice tray, then after it's frozen you let it warm up a bit and push the bottom of the tray and out they pop. The cubes are a little round at the bottom, but who cares, it's solid, perfectly sized for a bourbon glass, and didn't melt fast at all. The mold itself has GOOD sturdy walls, they are somehow still flexible but very rigid at the same time, which is what makes it work so well. The Mini-ball tray is NOT so easy to fill. The balls are separated and if each one sealed tightly the funnel it came with be very useful, but as soon as you lift the tray up the water migrates across the mold. I found it best to fill it partially up then move it the freezer to finish filling. It sucks because it makes Really good mini ice balls - they come out VERY easily and I started using them in my Moscow Mules as you can get more vodka in the glass since you don't need as much ice - :-) Seeing as my two ZOKU (THE BEST ICE BALL MOLDS OUT THERE) cost $15+ alone, this ball tray is literally a bonus add on that does it's job better than the tovolo molds. My wife is so happy about my mini balls since she started putting my balls in her big drinking container. Awesome product to help me drink more!

The trays work really good in my freezer where I have like very limited space and compare to like normal ice cube sizes these ones actually last quite a bit yes they do take a little bit longer to freeze completely though it is worth it and popping them out is nice and easy. Easy to clean and for how big the ice is it lasts my cups for quite a bit longer than I expected when compared to normal size ice cubes. The only issue I have is filling up the circular ones though that's more of me not being experienced with them though after a few tries I've gone into work perfectly fine it's just somebody to get used to. The purchase was worth it to me and I do stack the ball ice cube tray on top of the cubed just add a little less water to the cube ones and I've had no issues I know it might not be recommended but if you have limited space this is probably the best choice just because of how nicely they fit together.

The cube ones are good, the round ones are not.

It works so well and the square ice slipped off easily. Just push it gently because it's rubber and the ball shape works perfectly too

These kind of work. The square are not true square. They have a rounded side at the bottom. The round do not “lock” as they say and are misshaped. If you want true round get the metal maker.

I must say that I’m completely satisfied with this set of silicone ice trays. I have tried many different types which end up cracking after prolonged use. I took my time in writing this review because I wanted to make sure they hold up, and the do!! You get two trays for six ice balls and 6 cubes and nothing else in the package. I would have liked to see a small piece of paper in how to use the round tray as it has a bit of a learning curve to use. Once I figured out the two pieces it was easy to make the ice balls. For those that don’t know, there are two silicone pieces to the ice ball tray. The bottom holds the water and the top has small holes at the top of the round part. See the pictures I uploaded. The way you make them is fill up the bottom half and put the cover on. This will make half balls which is also fine. Once the bottom part is frozen, add water to the tray through the little hole at the top of the tray. Put it back in the freezer and wait. You will be glad with the results and it is very easy to remove the silicone for perfect frozen balls of ice. The second tray is for 6 square ice cubes. The cubes are huge which I love for my drinks. I always use two of them at a time and they last a very long time. I’m still not sure which last longer but it seems to me the cubes last longer than the round ones. Either way, I’m having a lot of fun using these trays and I wish I would have gotten them sooner.

The trays work well, sturdy enough to transport to freezer without collapsing, flexible enough to release expanded frozen cubes. The cubes are great, really big, and perfect shape. The spheres require you to fill top half once lid is placed. The two pieces of the spherical mold don’t snap together, so on the full of the top half, water leaks and spills out. They still produce nearly spherical cubes, but with a big seam. They still look nice in the glass.

In general, these are great for the price. The finished results aren't quite as perfect as you'd see at a nice bar or restaurant (especially the spheres), but they're a great touch to your home bar. It's also fun to fill the trays with frozen fruit & juice (or just fruit & water) and get ice cubes that have fruit inside them. The cubes are wonderful - they take a while to melt, they look great, and I find the tray pretty easy to use. The softness of the silicone makes it easy to get the frozen cubes out. No complaints with these - I'd give the cube tray 5 stars. The spheres aren't quite what I imagined, but I don't regret purchasing the sphere tray and I still use it all the time. My complaints are that they're hard to fill without spilling water everywhere, and you end up getting a lot of excess ice in between the spheres and on top of the tray's lid. Also, the ice spheres themselves don't come out as perfect spheres - there's often some protruding bits or missing/flat spots to the ice. However, once you toss it in your favorite cocktail, you can't really tell that the ice ball isn't perfectly spherical - it still looks pretty cool, and within a few minutes, usually the most noticeable imperfections have melted away. I'd give the sphere tray probably 3.5 stars. Overall I would still recommend, because I have yet to find another ice sphere tray that looks like it would be any better than this one, and the others all seem to be significantly more expensive.
