Clear Ice Cube Tray for Whiskey: FDDBI 2Inch Clear Ice Cube Maker - Silicone Large Ice Cube Tray - Square Ice Tray for Bourbon Old Fashioned Whisky

I've always loved the large, clear ice cubes served at high-end bars and restaurants, so I purchased this kit to try to make them at home. This kit really does produce amazing, clear ice cubes! Once you get the hang of it, it is very easy to use. For some reason, the first time I used it, I had a difficult time removing the ice cubes from the silicone tray. However, they came out much easier after the first time using it. This kit is great for making cocktail ice cubes for parties, and friends have all commented on how much they love my ice cubes! One word of caution - since this kit uses directional freezing to make the clear ice cubes, it takes approx. 36 hours to make one batch of cubes, so I would make them ahead of time and seal them in ziplock bags if you will be making a lot of drinks.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I chose this ice cube mold because I had purchased about 5 others and none of them made perfectly clear ice cubes like I wanted. They all came out cloudy and melted extremely fast. I did quite a bit of research on directional freezing and settled on this guy. For the price compared to other molds, this thing is 100% worth it. It makes perfectly clear ice every time and you can even see the impurities left behind during the freezing process. It is a bit of a pain to get the cubes out but it’s a labor of love that is well worth it.

Takes a lot of water and about 40 hours to freeze, but if things go right you do indeed get really clear cubes. In the picture what looks like cloudiness isn't; usually I can look down through the cube and see every grain of demarara sugar in my Old Fashioned. Overall happy, took off one star because extracting the cubes is a bit of a process, but I love having nice clear cubes!

This thing works great and delivers some amazing clear ice. First time boiled about half and then hot for the rest as it holds quite a bit. Saved the large chunk for cooler ice at a later date. So clear you can barely tell there a cube in my drink. Like cubes better as the smoker kit doesn’t work well with ball ice.

It seems rare these days to have a product that does exactly what it says and works. I followed the instructions and got 8 perfect cubes of clear ice for my old fashioned's's's. No BS. No problem. I've had other silicone trays that make big cubes, but they were basic and cheap, and never claimed to produce clear cubes. I'm very happy with this overall and highly recommend.

Kind of worked, kind of didn't. Hard to get the ice out with all the layers of silicone/plastic. The foam outer box needs some sort of support or hard plastic sleeve. Once filled you can barely move the kit and it leaks water out from being so soft sided. Low quality on parts but the ice tray itself was good quality and thick and held it's shape well. It almost worked the times we tried but the failure rate was high for truly clear ice, and I'm not talking about bubbles, but the white in the ice cubes. If they improved 1/2 the parts it would be a winner. As is, it's not worth all the hassle.

Obsessed with making clear ice it’s so fun and it turns out well every time! It works and ice is clear, get tongs for help to get them out, it’s not too hard though. Wait48 hours fully

Does it make clear ice? Yes. I can't fault it for that. However:It does not come with any paper instructions or documentation. You only have the 4 step instructions in the product description. The first step calls you to "fill with water". However it does not specify an amount of water, and there is no fill line. You just have to guess, and you will find out if you put to much water when you get to step 2 "place the plastic silicone mold". The water will overflow from every orifice of the product.There is no indicator for how frozen the ice is. Again you just have to guess. You will probably make the mistake where you thought it was done, start to remove the silicone sleeve (which is a pain to get out), and water gets everywhere.I don't see this product being durable enough to withstand average use. This is going to remain at the back of my freezer as a novelty for when I have guests over, unless I return it. Also, the clear plastic top does not fit well.
