Arrow Small Ice Cube Trays for Freezer, Ice Coffee and Blenders, 3 Pack, 60 Mini Cubes Per Tray, 180 Total, Made in the USA, BPA Free Plastic, Ideal, Blue

Does what it says on the tin: makes small ice cubes, is roughly the same size as standard ice trays (this helps with placement in a freezer, as three of these take up about the same volume as two standard ice trays), and is fairly easy to remove the ice. The cubes created are a nice size and shape for sodas and other cool drinks.What keeps the product from being perfect is ice removal, and I'm not sure what can be done to fix this minor issue (it's NOT a failing of the manufacturer, by any means, but the nature of the item itself) - to be precise, not all of the ice comes out of the tray at once, and some individual cubes can be nigh-impossible without waiting for a little thawing or using some excess force.But I would buy it again IF - big if - time shows these trays to be as durable as the seem to be currently; in fact, I plan to do just that in about another six months or so, if all goes well.UPDATE (One Year Later): Original trays are still fully intact - despite my beating on them to dislodge those last stubborn cubes, from time to time - and I DID buy a second set to complement the first. I am still happy with my purchase and would buy them again.

I have frozen tiny cubes made of various things—from icy to creamy. All have popped out easily enough (some twisting required). And they freeze so quickly! You can use them to make teeny, tiny bite-size homemade treats. Sadly, one of the trays did crack while releasing some cubes. These would be even better if they came with covers.

These trays will produce gum drop sized ice cubes. I added a teaspoon to the photo above so that you could get a good perspective.The cubes are not that easy to remove from the trays. You need a pan at least as wide and long as the tray and you might have to work a bit to get them out. Running them under cold water will help.They are best stored in a plastic container in the freezer to get them out easier.The trays get the job done, but I think they are just a little bit expensive for three trays.

These ice trays are perfect for my needs. The ice maker in my freezer broke and I have been using regular old ice trays that make square cubes. I like my ice crushed and, unfortunately, the size/shape of those cubes damaged the unit further. Once I realized it was probably because of the cubes, I bought these trays so the crusher didn't need to work so hard (or at all). They work great! At first I was expecting to have to buy another set in order to keep up with filling the ice container, but just the three are fine. I have not had any trouble getting the cubes out. A couple hints that worked for me ... firstly, I try not to fill them up all the way. Just to the top (or a smidge under) the lip of the ice pocket. Remember that the water will expand a bit once it freezes. Next, for those that aren't familiar with plastic ice trays, you have to twist the tray to loosen them up for them to dump out. Sometimes I have one or two caught in a corner that didn't loosen up, but I either just twist in that area again, pound it while it's upside down over the ice bucket or leave it be and let it come out the next time.

I like the size of the ice (think nugget), and it freezes quickly relative to common ice tray sizes. The ice can be a little hard to release.I have owned these two years, and two trays are slightly warping because of my twists and turns to release all the ice. The third broke this week while I was trying to release ice.Part of that may have been due to user error. I like to get all the ice out, and I will twist/turn/bang until it is released. Also, I only remove them from the freezer about 10 seconds before I start trying to empty them. I may need to give them a bit longer.I will continue to use these until they all give out. Once they do, I probably will not replace with this exact tray.

I love these trays! Easy to use, Sturdy. TIP: Use lollipop sticks to stack them in the freezer because they have no stand-offs for stacking.Flexible Silicone Ice Cube Trays have their place, but I find them extremely frustrating for mini-cubes (time-consuming, messy, and difficult to remove the ice), which I use mainly for blender / blended applications, especially where I make slushies!! By the time I get the ice out, I am frustrated past my tolerance.I find THIS type of Solid Tray for Mini Ice Cubes can be Frustration Free !!! BUT you need to have a good METHOD for RELEASING the ice, or it can be almost as difficult, messy, and time-consuming to remove the ice as it is with a flexible silicone tray.So, FWIW, here's my method for releasing mini-cubes...1) Remove the tray from the freezer and let stand 5 to 10 minutes -depending on how warm it is in the kitchen. (This is the key.)2) Lay out a sheet of aluminum foil for catching the ice, generously larger than the tray3) Hold the Tray upside down over the foil, ...Grasping the ends and then gently Twisting back and forth. - Takes me about 3 twists to cleanly release practically all the ice -every time! - If any cubes are left, then holding the tray from one end in one hand, I gently smack it onto my other hand a couple times (over the foil-catch).4) Dispense the ice into your container(s) by Grasping the ends of the Aluminum Foil from opposite ends, Lifting up the catch, and pour~funneling (so to speak) the ice in a controlled manner.That's it.=========I used to run water over the icetray (top, then bottom) to try to achieve this same "releasing affect", but it never really quite worked. I would always end up wrestling (endlessly) with the tray anyway, lots of cubes not releasing, ...and by the time all said and told, some of the ice is cracked some melting ...just a messy disaster.And If you freeze mixed juices in these mini-trays, releasing ice the old way ...losses are even worse. Doing it my new way -its smooth sailing every time, and great manageable frozen cubes all down the line.Now, I never have a cube left behind, a half-melted mess, cracked cubes, ...and I never struggle with the tray. ALL the ice remains whole and hard until I use it or get it back into the freezer (in a baggie). Very efficient, and very easy.To be honest, I didn't think it was possible to overcome the struggle factor with mini-cubes, hence why I posted this. Maybe it will help someone else ;^)

Great little ice cubes that release easily after a couple twists and a gentle tap on a container. Perfect size to put in a water/soda bottle or to crunch on. Not suggesting you should crunch on ice tho!

I like the perfect size of these cubes for smoothies and a narrow opening top water bottle.Note that filling the trays requires slow water pressure for filling or the water skips over the cube forms.Easy to remove!Good product.

These cubes are the perfect size for iced coffee - will keep things cold and give that characteristic tinkling sound. The trays work best being fully emptied on one go onto a plate or big bowl and then immediately stored in a vessel with a lid (they’re small, so will melt together if left out too long). It’s also important to not overfill the trays, or your cubes won’t separate well.

I love eating ice cubes, and these are a perfect size for just that. Its easy-ish to get the ice cubes out as well, but it does take me 3-4 cycles of twist and smack to get them out, and even then I have a couple stray cubes that refuse to budge. Would be nicer if there was an option to get a bigger surface area tray so that I’d only have to reload and empty two trays instead of 3, since I can get through these small cubes pretty darn quickly

I was a little hesitant given the price of these trays ($6 each) but I really wanted smaller ice cubes for my summer drinks and protein shakes and these are absolutely perfect. Each tray takes about one cup of water to fill it. I know water expands when it freezes and yet I still over filled them a bit the first time. I stacked them in the freezer and when I pulled them out, the ice cubes from the tray below were stuck to the bottom of tray above - that just made it easier to remove them! The trays have a really nice surface - the water almost beads up on it. They extract VERY easily - I just gave them the slightest twist and the ice cubes knocked right out. I just received these yesterday and have already made two batches - I bought two 3 packs (so 6 trays) and I'm glad I did. I may actually buy another pack for freezing garlic, ginger and other herbs once my garden gets growing.If you are hesitating because of the price but really want smaller ice cubes (seems like a silly wish in life but so be it) BUY these.....they really are terrific and ultimately worth the price. The fact that I TOOK and included pictures means I really like them (and perhaps I have too much time on my hands )

Nice cubes, but broke quickly. Disappointed for the price.
