OXO Good Grips No-Spill Ice Cube Tray

Look, I drink between 2-3 liters of iced tea a day & I was getting through 4kg of party ice per week. I've tried so many ice cube trays over the years but the silicone ones spilled whenever I moved them & the ones with the plastic lids shattered after little use. I had given up on ever finding an ice cube tray that could keep up with my lack of grace & the sheer volume of ice I consume. I bought one of these on a whim after trying (AGAIN) to find an ice cube tray that could mitigate spillage and that wouldn't crack because I am a little too rough when getting the ice cubes out of the tray. I was irritated at the cost (£11? FOR AN ICE CUBE TRAY? Obscene.) but realized I'd probably spent that amount buying trays that sucked. It had great reviews & was rated the best consumer ice cube tray on some website or other. Reader, this ice cube tray is magnificent. After using it 2 days I bought two more. They don't spill, the silicone lid thing is great & as a bonus the ice cubes sometimes come out stuck to it when you remove it. You still need to twist the tray to get them to release so I don't know how long it will stay uncracked but here's hoping it's until I finally spend £300 on a nugget ice maker. One tray fills a 30 ounce Yeti-style cup, two trays fills a 30 ounce cup when I pour recently brewed tea into it & the first lot melts. The only downside to this tray is that my ice cube obsessed dachshund finds the cubes slightly too large for one immediate crunch. He can lump it, quite frankly, because this tray is awesome.

As a disabled person, a simple task like filling an ice cube tray can be one of those jobs that becomes impossible. I’ve soaked my lap transporting a full tray, or poured water all over the freezer filling in situ with a jug, and totally shattered a hard plastic tray whilst exhausting myself smacking it on the worktop trying to release the ice. This is the perfect solution. It really does seal up, as long as you align it correctly (and even then it can easily be repositioned) and then you can just tip the excess water out and transfer to the freezer with no wet lap or floor. And, because it’s sealed, you can just chuck it in the drawer on top of all the uneven items and it will still make cubes. To release, just give it a slight twist, which requires almost no hand strength or dexterity at all, and they’ll just pop right out when you press on them. The rest will then stay in place until you need them, even when you throw them back in at an odd angle. It is expensive for just an ice cube tray, but I’ve long accepted that being disabled almost always requires spending more money for the better items that actually do what you need, and being Oxo, it’s a brand I trust. For the able bodied, I’d say it’s still worth the price for the ease of use and the ability to freeze without trying to find a flat surface and then close the freezer with mechanical precision at the pace of a snail. I’m not on any commission, I’ve just been raving about this ice cube tray to my friends since I got it. Shielding for a over year has obviously made me quite easy to please.

After getting rid of my under counter freezer that had a dedicated freezer ice compartment I resorted to digging out this product I purchased some time ago and started to use it in my new fridge freezer that does not have a dedicated ice cube tray. I love ice cubes with my pop and have to say after a week of using this product I was satisfied enough to buy another one as I wanted a back up when one tray ran out of ice cubes. pros it is easy to fill and carry to the freezer without spilling everywhere and once the ice cubes are frozen they are reasonably easy to remove from the tray by easily pulling the ice cube tray cover back and pressing down on one side of the ice cube to release them however occasionally there is a stubborn one that requires a little more force. The tray is a slim design so does not take up much room and sits very well on top of other food in the freezer that I try to arrange uniformly balanced. Cons maybe not big enough for a family (14 medium sized ice cubes per tray) but defo good enough if you are looking for a daily fix of ice cubes for your drinks. I was very pleased I could still purchase this version when I went looking for a second one as there is a newer version that appears to be a little problematic with the lid becoming frozen and difficult to remove so I bought this version that I know and understand how it works.

Tray holds 14 good sized oblong ice cubes, which can also fit through the neck of a 1L flask, great for keeping drinks ice cold for days out. The tray is semi rigid and does not flex or bend when carrying it to the freezer, but will release the frozen cubes easily by twisting it. The silicone lid seals the water in by laying completely flat over the tray, but you have got to gently smooth over the lid to get the seal. You then tip the whole tray to drain excess water from the drainage channels which catch the excess water that spills over while you fill it. If the lid is on correctly, there should be no leakage from the ice cube holes. Best to freeze this reasonably flat to ensure no leakage, you could get away with a bit of an angle but not sure about tipping it right up on its side. I Remove the cubes and place in a freezer bag to take up less room in the freezer. Could probably do 2 to 3 batches to stock up a fair number of cubes, and then remove the tray ( it's much bigger than a standard ice cube tray ). Some of the reviews have complained about a plastic taint to the cubes. I suspect they have not received the genuine article but a cheap copy. The genuine tray is of a high quality and the food grade materials used have no odour whatsoever.

These are fantastic! I can't believe how enthusiastic I've become about an ice cube tray! The cubes are HUGE so really best for a jug or large glasses. I wanted them for gin to chill without diluting and they do the trick. The mould is easy to clean, easy to use and the rigid frame reduces spills and stops it deforming. The lid is excellent as I can pop other things in the freezer without worrying about contamination of the ice. All round well thought out product.

Some of the things I love about this tray, 1. Very long lasting. We had one for quite a few years with regular use and no problems with it. It went when my eldest daughter moved out with it. So we bought another! 2. The flexible lid does keep funny tastes from the freezer infiltrating your cubes 3. The flexi lid also does stop the water sloshing out when you're tryjng to get the thing in the freezer. Don't get me wrong, it's not watertight but it does help. 4. Ice cubes easy to get out. The bottom of the moulding for each cube is curved which means that you can push an individual cube down on the side and up pops the other side. So quite expensive for an ice cube tray but worth it if you like ice cubes and make them frequently.

I've lost count how much I've spent on ice cube trays over the years; they usually end up cracking and are a pain to use. I ordered two of these trays and have been really impressed with them. What a well thought out design; the tray just uses simple physics to seal the water in using surface tension - simple and very effective. The last trays I ordered used clips and a plastic top, but the clips have snapped off because of the cold. The bottom of each ice cube compartment is a 'D' shape, this makes it very easy to get the cubes out. All you need to do is to twist the tray slightly (or let it warm up a bit), then press one end of the cube, they will then just pop-up and you can tip them out. Overall, a well thought out design that actually works, highly recommended.

Nice idea, but doesn’t work too well in reality. Pros: silicone trays so ice doesn’t stick, not 100% leak proof if tipped vertically (was anyone honestly expecting it to be ?!?) but really does mostly keep water from spilling Cons: tiny cubes, very difficult to push the cubes out and the whole time your fingers are getting more and more painful from being frozen I don’t know how to make a more effective system for making ice cubes in a silicone tray. We tried another tray from a Swedish home goods store and it leaks terribly as the lid doesn’t fit on, it just rests on the water. Also, it didn’t have enough squishy parts to the tray to make the cubes release easily so I thought I’d try this one. OXO makes quality kitchen gadgets and this one is much more leak proof, and very squishy but I need to find a way to get the cubes out. When you push on them, they are loose in the tray, but the silicone folds around the edges of the ice cubes so they don’t pop out.

I wasn't sure about spending $13 on an ice cube tray, but it's been so well worth it. Enjoying an ice cube tray this much is full on adulting. I've been using a set of basic 12-cube trays that are mostly plastic with just the bottoms of the cube portion made of silicone. They were annoying though because the plastic had cracked, I was always spilling the water the in freezer or didn't have enough room in the freezer. The size of the cubes are perfect for me, not too large, not tiny. I love that this cube tray is so much more compact, so you only need a little space in the freezer and can even set other items above or below it. I was skeptical about the cover really preventing spillage, but I haven't had any issues and already made about 8 batches of ice. I love how sturdy it is and that it comes with 2 trays (and unlike my old ones, I don't have to precariously balance these to avoid the top tray falling into the bottom one). While all the ice doesn't fall right out, I don't find it that difficult to get the cubes out. Even with my old basic ice trays, I had to bang, dig and fight to get half the cubes to come out. With this one, it's usually just a few around the edges that take a few extra seconds to push out. This is truly a great design for a cube maker and should become the standard for all ice trays.

Great buy! Love them. Bought 4:).
