Review on Samuelworld Large Sphere Ice Mold With Lid, 4 X 2.5 Inch Ice Balls - Food Grade, Easy To Fill Round Silicone Ice Tray, Perfect Spheres Craft Ice Maker For Whiskey, Cocktails, Christmas - Gray by Sarah Phillips

So few things to note. 1. Cause of the rubber/silicone cover it doesn’t make perfect spheres but more like two slightly different sized half spheres stuck together. This causes cracks and the ball to split in half. 2. If you over fill the mold with water the ice expands and the mold doesn’t work great and it causes a bunch of cracks. Best thing I found is to put a few ice cubes in the mold before adding water. This allows for less expansion in the mold and it seems to freeze faster and more evenly so you have a harder ice ball. After doing this I found the ball doesn’t crack or deform as much. All in all the mold alright. It works and for the price its not bad but there’s definitely better molds out there. I have one and I use it maybe twice a week. I also gifted one.
