OXO Good Grips No-Spill Ice Cube Tray

This was a find. I hated my old ice cube tray - always in the wrong place. This was bigger than I expected and it is easy to store in the freezer. I love the silicon top to it which stops the water dripping everywhere before the cubes have frozen. Very good value for money in my opinion and a good design. Easy to get the ice cubes out and easy to fill and easy to clean.

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.

Cube shape ice cubes in 2 layers that are easy to remove. Lid stops water spilling in the freezer, stops evaporation, and allows yo to stack things on it

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.

Plus: Ingenious no spill design. You can even put them sideways in the freezer to conserve space. Ice cube removal is very easy. Ideal size and shape of ice cubes. They don't pick up smells from freezer. Minus: Occasionally, some ice cubes come out broken. Also, before draining the excess water from the tray, you must press very firmly while sliding your hand across the lid so as not to allow any water to drain from the ice cube sockets. If it were not for these two minor concerns, I would give them 5 stars. In any case, great job OXO! UPDATE NOVEMBER 2017: Over four years later, they are still in great condition. I use them daily. If I ever need to purchase another ice cube tray, it will have to be OXO Good Grips. Changed my rating to 5 stars. They deserve it!

If you've ever struggled to get ice cubes out of the tray, or spilt water over the floor and freezer trying to get your water to the ice box then this is for you. OXO have cracked it (sorry!) with this brilliant design. Just fill the tray up to the brim, flatten down the silicone lid and drain any excess water. Confidently walk to the freezer as no water will spill, even if your tilt the tray at a rakish angle. Nonchalantly plonk the tray in the freezer. Once the cold has done it's magic, it's a doddle to remove the cubes. As the bottom of each "cube" is actually round, a gentle flex of the tray and then a small prod on one side of the cube and it effortlessly slides out. No more struggling, no more cubes shooting across the kitchen! Look no further. Buy this ice cube try. You will not regret it!

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.

Vaschetta per il ghiaccio molto comoda, materiali molto resistenti, i ghiaccioli si estraggono facilmente senza dover torcere la vaschetta, ma schiacciando da un lato con un dito. Usata anche per surgelare le carote e la cipolla tritate, la plastica non si è macchiata di arancione né ha trattenuto l'odore di cipolla. Il costo è certo alto, ma il prodotto non è paragonabile, per robustezza e praticità, a molti altri prodotti in commercio. Questo modello ha il coperchio in silicone, che si attacca quasi come una ventosa al vassoio e permette di inserire la vaschetta chiusa nel surgelatore anche inclinata fino a 45 gradi. Esistono poi un modello con il coperchio in plastica rigida, a chiusura scorrevole, e un modello che ha una sorta di levetta per estrarre ogni cubetto di ghiaccio.

Great buy! Love them. Bought 4:).

Compré este producto hace dos años y después de este tiempo, me sigue pareciendo cojonudo. Cierra bien, no gotea y se pueden sacar los cubitos de hielo fácilmente. He leído un comentario que decía que cogía mucho olor como si los que no tuvieran tapa no lo hicieran, amigo.....ninguna cubitera es perfecta y esta no lo iba a ser menos. Lávala bien y ya verás que con el paso del tiempo te saca los cubitos de hielo a la perfección. Lo único malo es el precio: CARÍSIMO, SEÑORES DE AMAZON!!!!

Good product
