glacio Ball Ice Cube Tray and Big Ice Cube Molds for Whiskey, Slow-Melting, 100% Silicone, No-Plastic, Easy Release, Ideal for Gifting and Elevating Cocktails

These ice cubes are perfect for drinks or keeping something cold for a long time. I had to bring food to my mother recently and used an insulated bag to transport the food with a few cubes wrapped in foil. The ice didn't melt during the 30 minute car ride. Still kept it's shape. Great purchase.

The two best features of this duo compared to other makers: 1) The cubic silicone tray has a lid on it, which will help a lot with preventing odor absorption and ice sublimation while stored in a freezer after the ice is made. Although I generally advocate using one's big ice cubes in a steady cadence ( :-) ), I've certainly had times where a week or more will pass before I pull the next cube. So many cocktail choices, so little time... 2) The sphere molds, made entirely of silicone, have a flexibility to them that enables pulling the sphere without having to run warm water over the mold to get the ice to release. This is a big improvement over some other makes that use a more rigid plastic base container that you can't flex enough to pop out the ice without warming it with water.In particular with the sphere molds, even though they are two hemispherical halves, water does not leak out of the seam when filling them, so at least initially, this is great engineering of the material. If you fill these to slightly less than completely full through the fill hole, then you won't have any ice expression outside of the mold as the water freezes and expands slightly.Because the product is silicone, it will eventually absorb "freezer burn" or "old ice" odors unless you are very scrupulous. But for the price point, replacing the material every few years is not really an issue.Overall this is a well-engineered product set that is easy to use and gives excellent results.

Update: Have been using this product for a few years now. These products are high quality material. They are easy to use, look new to this day. I love the two sphere molds.

Theses work well and it's pretty easy to get them out. But if you have hard water you will see calcium build up. It's harmless, but unpleasant to see.

When the Good Lord invented whisky, he made it perfect; the aging of the barrel sacrificing part to him in gratitude and thus being blessed with flavor, character, and potency. Whisky, consumed neat is a marvel and a tradition that long shall remain a living myth of which even the common man may partake.But not every occasion is one of quiet reflection and piety to the God and his magnificent gift to humanity. There are times when one must exit the City of God for the City of Man and rub elbows with the parents of your child's scout troop, dance troupe, sport league/team, or coworkers with whom you (disin)genuinely enjoy spending time.For these latter times, I strongly suggest the Glacio Ice Cube Molds. Not only do they do the job - making large blocks and spheres of ice to maximally chill your drink while minimally melting into it and diluting your concoction - they also provide a conversation piece for when you have nothing in common with someone, not even the weather.Please feel free to test this out for yourself. Simply add 2 dashes of Angostura Orange Bitters and 3 dashes of Angostura Original Bitters to the bottom of a glass. Add 2oz of a bourbon above 90 proof (Elijah Craig Small Batch is arguable the best for an OF) and 1/4oz rich demerara syrup. Stir. Add 2 cocktail cherries and 1 peel of orange. Stir. Let sit to marry for a moment - don't believe the hype of building a cocktail over ice, that's just silly and antithetical to chemistry. Add ridiculously large Glacio molded ice cube a minute or so before imbibing. It may be wise to prep your second as you consume your first. Responsibly.

I am really enjoying these gadgets. Nice round-ish ice sphere that looks great when drinking my scotch. Excellent material quality, and it is simple to use, but need to read the instruction first.Fully recommend this product.

The giant cubes are some of my favorite ice cubes ever. I use them in my whiskey and cocktails all the time. They do not fit most water bottles but are great in cups/glasses. Easy to remove and easy to refill. The spheres can be rather difficult to refill (unless you have a sink with a very narrow stream) and can be a bit difficult to remove from their housing. The spheres are also more difficult to drink around than the cubes and can be inconvenient. However, they are very aesthetic and still fun to use.

I am updating my review to note that after about 2 years, the process of removing ice cubes from the mold (which is sometimes rather difficult as they just really get stuck in there), has resulted in the mold developing tears. It's gotten to the point where one of the cube slots has just completely torn open and is no longer useable. I'm down to 4 working cube molds, and a fifth that is damaged to the point that it leaks about 20% of the water out before it's frozen over.The two sphere molds still work fine, although I use them much less frequently than the cube.

Pues cumplen con su función, pero no son lo que esperaba, tienes que ponerles agua a menos del maximo, ya que se expande obviamente, pero salen normales, solo con faena circular o cuadrada, NO SALDRÁN TRANSPARENTES, salen feos, blancos y con gritas por dentroMe siento como los críticos de Yelp en Sout Park jaja

This set is perfect. Easy to fill, easy to remove, makes awesome round and square ice cubes for variety. Have had them for almost a year now and still working great. Read a lot of reviews before buying and very satisfied with these.. actually bought a second set they are so good.

Didn’t know you could make round ice balls until I came across this product by accident … my daughter goes through so much ice ridiculous amounts so brought this as a stocking filler for her for Christmas .. I couldn’t wait till Christmas to use it so now she’s has bags of ice instead 😂 the cubes are big leave for a minute or two makes them easier to get out , the balls it suggests squeezing them with your thumb over the hole to improve suction and don’t fill to the top roughly 80% works a treat every time and so easy to remove 👍the ice is huge so it lasts in your drink for ages 😊 I read lots of reviews but decided on this product glad I did 5 ⭐️ from me delivery quick

Easy to use, fill and remove ice cubes.Easy to clean when finished.Perfect for G&Ts, highballs and whisky on the rocks as the cubes takes ages to melt keeping your drink colder for longer.Highly recommended

Product is just as advertised, very easy to use and clean and makes for very nice ice cubes that add a touch of class to those home made cocktails for house parties
