DINY Home & Style by Dependable Industries IIT Ice Cube Trays, 4 pack, Assorted

These little guys are GREAT for parsing out frozen citrus juice, storing herbs, pestos, or even making chocolate truffles (okay and making boring H2O ice cubes as well). They are structured enough to easily transport from counter to freezer and can kind of be stacked by setting the top tray at a slight angle to the bottom tray (there is no designated lip to allow direct stacking).When it comes to removing the frozen treats, it couldn't be simpler - just a quick push of your thumb and the cube slides right out with a little rounded top and a flat bottom. No need to run under warm water to melt the surface like in traditional plastic ice cube trays. I really like that because when you are parsing out things to store as cubes in the freezer and you allow them to melt even the smallest amount, when you put them in freezer bags the melted surfaces end up freezing together. With this easy pop out method, you can make that transition from ice cube tray to freezer bag quickly and without substantial melting.I am never going back to hard plastic ice cube trays again!

I purchased these for portioning out coconut oil rather than water. In 6 weeks of use I have had no major issues with them. I have run them through the top rack of the dishwasher and hand washed them. They make smaller than average ice cubes but are still a nice size. They hold a bit under a tablespoon of liquid each. I have not yet used water in them but oil cubes pop right out when I push on the silicone bottoms.

They are pretty and I want to like them, but there are a few problems. First, they don't stack once filled with water! I have to carefully stagger them and try to keep them from slipping. Second, the cubes don't pop out so easily. A few pop out right away, then I have to leave them out a few minutes to get the rest out -- but not so long that they start to melt! I essentially have to push them all out one-by-one -- the colored portion is silicon so it's flexible. I don't twist the trays too much, as I can see how they would break and it doesn't really help to remove the cubes. If you do get them out, they are cute little gumdrops, but I don't think I have the patience for them.

I love the colors and I like the shape of the cubes. However, it is incredibly difficult to get the cubes out of the tray. The trays don't twist like older ice cube trays. Just pushing on the silicone bottoms does nothing but hurt my thumbs. The most efficient method I've found is to set the tray on the counter and press the top until the cubes break free. This isn't easy and means someone is touching the cubes. These trays are also not stackable. Had I realized that, I wouldn't have bought them (I didn't even think they made "not stackable" ice cube trays.) I will continue to use them for ice until I find something else I like better. At that point, I'll use them for arts and crafts. I'm sure they could have a new life as a paint palette, candle or soap mold, or some kind of organizer.

These are easy to get the ice out of, and the smaller size of the ice... cubes? domed cylinders? makes them easier to put into water bottles. Besides having silicone buttoms to push the ice out, they also have a good flex to them to help dislodge the ice from the sides.Pro tip:Because the holes line up in a stackable way, make sure to not stack them directly on top of each other in the freezer unless you want to feeze them together. Either place them on different shelves, or stager them by an inch or so to prevent them from falling into each other.

A truly misnamed product. These are anything but "Easy push Pop Out" trays. When you take them out of the package the silicone cup bottoms seem so nice and soft. But, after the freezing process, you will find that the cup bottoms are every bit as hard as the rest of the tray and the cubes cannot be freed from the tray simply by pressing them. Seems to be a low grade of silicone. Because you have to press so hard on the trays to release the ice, I don't expect these trays would last through more than a dozen uses. I don't plan to find out since I've replaced them with another brand that I found in my local grocery store. Those work so much better!

Purchased in October 2017. Two trays are broken (they literally snapped in half). Two trays left-one has several cracks. When the description says that it’s easy to push the ice cubes out by pushing on the bottom...that is a stretch. It is not easy, hence how the trays ended up broken and cracked. Also takes getting used to when filling. Overall, I’m disappointed in the quality. The ice cube trays I had prior to these were still in great condition when I purchased these and I had them for over 5 years. I needed these trays for smaller cubes for my water bottle but will be looking into purchasing other trays that hopefully will be of better quality.

The only reason I gave it a star is because it doesn't let you give negative numbers. This is the biggest waste of money. You can not twist the tray to get all of the cubes out together, you have to push each one individually! YES! Ridiculous! And, the size of the cubes are small and would even say tiny. Totally disappointed. I was hoping to have the flexibility to twist the tray without it cracking like many plastic trays do over time. I would rather go back to the other. WASTE! Don't make the same mistake that I did.
