GGUW Large Ice Cube Tray for Whiskey: 2inch Big Silicone Ice Trays for Whisky - 3Pack Old Fashioned Ice Cube Trays for Cocktail - Huge Square Cubed Bourbon Ice Cube Maker

1. no steel frame not a big deal for me as I transfer it to the freeze on a cutting board, 2. did smell weird so a dish washer cycle calmed it down 3. silicone is thin but still okay 4. I do like the square bottoms but hey it's only an ice cube 5. the lid is okay, does fit well enough to avoid an accidental splash as you load them into the freezer but nothing too serious,

These actually work pretty good. Took a couple of tries to get good square cubes. I stack them on a small metal tray in the freezer to stabilize them. Not too difficult to fill or push cubes out. Not sure how long they will last. Don’t leak as long as not overfilled and kept flat. Cubes are great as they last a long time while keeping drink cold. Great for bourbon.

I bought these over a year ago, and I was a little apprehensive. At first, it was sometimes hard to dislodge the cubes, but they quickly became very pliable, and it was no issue. I love them! My family loves them! The size is perfect, and I can't say enough about how I appreciate them.

I kept thinking “how did I ever live without you by my side.” And after drinking nights Thinking how I’d got it wrong I grew strong And I ordered these cube trays and next day they came along. Now my drink From outer space Is rightly cold With that frosty glass calling my name Oh, how you’ve changed my stupid game Or maybe you’re a cheat If I'd have known for a second You'd solve everything for me! Go on, go, melty drinks no more Turn around now You'll love cold drinks even more. You're the one who tried to help me with low Fahrenheit Do you never crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? No, not I, I will imbibe Long as I know how to sip, I know I'll stay alive I've got my life to live So many cocktails need chilled so I will survive I will survive 1. Leave a little space at the top of each cube to allow for expansion without expanding so much as to lift the lid off. 2. Freeze on flat surface. These don’t do well just sitting on the grating in a freezer shelf. 3. While you can stack these, the lids are also silicon so there is some give to them. I would advise against stacking if you want them all to freeze evenly. 4. If the cubes become attached to one another at the top do not panic. It will only be a very thin layer of ice which will break off easily. 5. Easy extraction from the molds. I recommend releasing them all at the same time. Place a small bowl under the mold and press from the bottom of each cube - one at a time! Use the metal frame around the top to provide a little extra leverage if you need it. 6. Use the metal frame around the top when you’re filling and carrying these! Truly it’s the best improvement on silicon ice trays ever! 7. The cubes are perfectly sized so that if you fill and release all three trays they will “Tetris” into a 1.5-gallon freezer zip bag and lay flat for storage. Seriously, you’re going to like this perk.

I use these ice cubes in my water bottle and they really help keep my water cold ALL day long! They are silicone material. I did wish they had a little bit more strength but they are strong enough to handle the amount of water that it takes. The silicone lid stays on pretty well but, I feel like you still have to be really careful when you walk it to your freezer. It fits nicely in my freezer and doesn’t take up too much space & they can stack on top of each other nicely.
