Review on OXO Good Grips Silicone Stackable Ice Cube Tray with Lid - Large Cube, Dark Blue: Innovative Ice making with Convenience & Style by Kimberley Cook

These bowls are good for making giant ice cubes. The combination of silicone molds combined with slip lids and rigid bowls works well. The tray and lid make it easy to pop anything in the fridge without spilling, and the lid keeps the ice cream from the freezer from getting dirty right away. It takes some effort to get the cubes out, but I've never had one that got stuck. The middle two cubes seem to be the easiest to remove first, and then the ends come out even easier as the whole shape becomes more flexible. My freezer takes a good 24 hours to freeze these solids, so don't expect much. cubes per day. I try to use them often enough to fill a one liter ziplock bag with cubes. Even a large jar really only needs two cubes, and an old-fashioned jar only needs one. But you can burn a surprising number of cubes when you have people, so supplies make sense. The ice cream he makes lasts a long time in a glass. That being said, nothing I've tried has resulted in perfectly clear ice - boiled water, distilled water, chilled water, and regular tap water are pretty much the same in terms of cubes. I think I've since read that perfect clarity is the result of a specific fade pattern that I can't reproduce, but that doesn't matter. These cubes are big enough that they are harder than regular ice cubes.
