Tatal 6lb Ice Cube molds

First, a few disclosures: I bought this with my own money and I am not an AI chatbot (or a summary cobbled together from reviews by an AI scraper). I am saddened that Amazon is plagued by reviews that are incentivized or not even written by actual humans, let alone people who have used the product. I am just a regular Joe who was trying to solve a problem and took a chance on a product that turned out to exceed my expectations and I wanted to share that. The problem I was trying to solve was with a recently purchased Igloo water jug. If you grew up in the 80s or 90s, you know just what I'm talking about: the red plastic, squattish cylindrical jug with the stopper and carrying handle you could get for a song. Turns out you still can--it cost me about $7 at Wally World, a fraction of the price of one of those trendy metal flasks. Those are easy to dent, hard to clean, and expensive. The Igloo, on the other hand, is easy to fill, easy to clean, and holds enough water to last a whole day. In short, I love it, but it has one drawback. Since it's relatively thin plastic, it doesn't insulate too well and the water doesn't stay cold. I thought I solved this by filling it up with ice from my icemaker before putting in the water. It did, but since my icemaker doesn't have a filter, it imparted a taste to the water that I found--distasteful. I figured that if I could make ice from the great tasting water from my sink, I could make this sticking point go away. That's when where this silicone ice tray comes in. I started looking on Amazon and found lots of ice trays, but I didn't want to have to fill several of these each night to have enough ice the next day for a full jug of water. In short, a traditional ice tray was going to be too much work. (First world problems, I know.) Then I happened to run across this ice tray, which makes just one giant 6-lb block. This seemed like just the trick! I measured my Igloo and compared it to the dimensions of the tray in the Amazon image, and it looked like the ice would just barely fit. But since I've found dimensions on Amazon to often be inexact at best, it still felt like a risk. I gambled and ordered it, and I was rewarded. As you can see in my images, it does indeed just barely fit. That's exactly what I wanted. I'm in my office now with the jug, which I filled over six hours ago, and the ice block is still mostly intact and the water is still ice cold. Try that with a Hydro Flask. So that's the specific purpose for which I ordered this ice tray, although I'm also looking forward to using it with my Titan Deep Freeze zipperless cooler. Since it comes as a pair of trays, that should equal over one small ice bag. These are pretty easy to fill--just be careful when transporting to the freezer, because it can easily slosh around and spill. I recommend leaving at least an inch at the top, which still produces a plenty big ice block. Fill it at night and it's solid in the morning. I was a little worried it would be hard to remove the frozen block, but I've found it to be supremely easy. The silicone is really flexible, so you can easily work it back and forth and side to side until it works free. I do recommend lifting it out by hand once it's free, because you could do some damage trying to dump this into another vessel. To sum up, this simple but nifty ice tray has exceeded my expectations and I'm unreasonably happy about purchasing it.

These work great! I work construction so i use them to cool my igloo 5 gallon water cooler and 2 fit with almost 4 gallons of water and stay solid and least longer than bags of ice! I recommend putting them in after your water is in the jug so the puring of the water doesn't make them melt quicker and great value considering how much ice costs from the convenient store!

Great quality! The silicone is nice and thick, and it definitely gets the job done. The ice block pop out so easily, unlike other molds i've tried. I’ve used it tons of times and it’s still perfect. Highly recommended

Makes big blocks of ice. This was more of an impulse buy, not really needed for anything. Wife was curious if you could bake with them, but couldnt find any info if that was possible/healthy. So I doubt it. Not much different than using bigger gel packs or whatever, but is useful if you have a big water jug or container with an opening large enough. Also a couple blocks do well in a gallon ziplock for smaller portable bag type cooler for quick trips.

These work great. We use these in our 5g. water jug and have found that ice blocks can last for days.

I bought 4 x 5lb ice molds and they work great. I see many bought for the ice bath, and for that I learned need at least 30-40 lbs ice to get into mid-fifties Fahrenheit. I've since gotten a 1 HP chiller because I prefer my ice baths a bit colder. However, these ICE MOLDS are just fine, they produce the ice as advertised (just need to be extra cautious when loading into freezer). But they are great and will definitely allow for someone to do ice baths, you'll just need about 8 of the 5 lb. molds and enough space in your freezer to place them. Definitely will buy again if needed.

When ever I need to rapidly chill vegetables, fruits after blanching I put this in the sink w/cold water. Works exceptionally well to chill boiled eggs, too. One big cube instead of trying to use many small ones. The ice releases easily from the silicone mold. Love mine.

We got these for our ice bath and they’re perfect, we stash up, use them constantly popping ice in and out and they’re still holding strong
