Ticent Ice Cube Trays (Set of 2), Silicone Sphere Whiskey Ice Ball Maker with Lids & Large Square Ice Cube Molds for Cocktails & Bourbon - Reusable & BPA Free

I was looking to just get some Gentlemen's cubes for my bourbon to go with my big ball molds - they make single large balls but pop out very easily, so I was looking for a Large Cube tray that was silicone. When I saw this combo I figured that for a small difference compared to others, why not get some mini-balls to go with my big balls. The Big Cube tray is awesome - VERY SIMPLE to use. You put water in like you would a normal ice tray, then after it's frozen you let it warm up a bit and push the bottom of the tray and out they pop. The cubes are a little round at the bottom, but who cares, it's solid, perfectly sized for a bourbon glass, and didn't melt fast at all. The mold itself has GOOD sturdy walls, they are somehow still flexible but very rigid at the same time, which is what makes it work so well. The Mini-ball tray is NOT so easy to fill. The balls are separated and if each one sealed tightly the funnel it came with be very useful, but as soon as you lift the tray up the water migrates across the mold. I found it best to fill it partially up then move it the freezer to finish filling. It sucks because it makes Really good mini ice balls - they come out VERY easily and I started using them in my Moscow Mules as you can get more vodka in the glass since you don't need as much ice - :-) Seeing as my two ZOKU (THE BEST ICE BALL MOLDS OUT THERE) cost $15+ alone, this ball tray is literally a bonus add on that does it's job better than the tovolo molds. My wife is so happy about my mini balls since she started putting my balls in her big drinking container. Awesome product to help me drink more!

Love them. Add fruits and water for mimosas, for apple pie homemade moonshine, and other fun cocktails

I’m an ice hound on the hot & humid East Coast. Here are my thoughts for you about this set: Cube tray: Makes nice large cubes; they’re not perfect, one side is angled slightly probably for a manufacturing reason; they definitely stay solid longer than ice from my regular ice cube tray. I need to run them upside down under hot water for a few seconds & then they pop out easily. Balls tray: This has a major design flaw; there isn’t a tight seal between the top & bottom silicone pie, so the water seeps out all over. I get ice that looks like Saturn. It’s ok if you just want large cubes that last a bit longer, but don’t expect perfect balls to use for a special party. I don’t use this tray much because it’s a hassle. I’d say just having the great large cubes tray was well worth the $8 I paid, but I was disappointed that the spheres didn’t work out. Not a big deal, I’m still enjoying any larger, funky ice with this hot weather!

Good but should be cheaper

The ball tray doesn't seal and leaks out

I must say that I’m completely satisfied with this set of silicone ice trays. I have tried many different types which end up cracking after prolonged use. I took my time in writing this review because I wanted to make sure they hold up, and the do!! You get two trays for six ice balls and 6 cubes and nothing else in the package. I would have liked to see a small piece of paper in how to use the round tray as it has a bit of a learning curve to use. Once I figured out the two pieces it was easy to make the ice balls. For those that don’t know, there are two silicone pieces to the ice ball tray. The bottom holds the water and the top has small holes at the top of the round part. See the pictures I uploaded. The way you make them is fill up the bottom half and put the cover on. This will make half balls which is also fine. Once the bottom part is frozen, add water to the tray through the little hole at the top of the tray. Put it back in the freezer and wait. You will be glad with the results and it is very easy to remove the silicone for perfect frozen balls of ice. The second tray is for 6 square ice cubes. The cubes are huge which I love for my drinks. I always use two of them at a time and they last a very long time. I’m still not sure which last longer but it seems to me the cubes last longer than the round ones. Either way, I’m having a lot of fun using these trays and I wish I would have gotten them sooner.

Amazing

I’m really happy with how my ice turned out especially the density. It lasts a good while and doesn’t turn my drinks into a watered-down disappointment halfway through. I’m especially obsessed with the spheres—not perfectly at first, of course, because it takes a bit of practice to fill the tray properly—but I love the size and how solid they are. The cubes are a bit bigger than what I usually use for iced coffee, but honestly, I’m not mad at them—they just last longer and do their job well. At home, we’re all about natural fruit and vegetable juices. I always get complaints when ice melts too fast and waters down our drinks. Then I tried freezing juices in these trays—and honestly, game changer. Turns out they’re pretty versatile and more enjoyable to drink The very serious demands of being a mom and wife include, apparently, maintaining optimal juice integrity at all times. The silicone material is also a win because it makes popping the ice out ridiculously easy (no wrestling matches or questionable kitchen strength tests required). What I don’t like is that they don’t come with lids. I prefer not having food uncovered in the fridge because I feel it can pick up other odors and flavors. zthe only reason i dont give 5. Overall, I’m still really happy with it, and I think the price is pretty reasonable for what you get.

Ticent Ice Cube Trays the perfect accent to cocktails but do not take up a lot of room in our very small freezer. The balls and cubes allow for a lovely pairing to the cocktail of choice.

Es un dolor de cabeza sacar los hielos del silicon.

No more swallowing little ice cube tidbits with these babies. And they look cool, too. Jazzes up your cocktail quite nicely. For the round ones, use only the provided funnel and top fill only. If you try to fill the bottom half first then top fill the remainder you will get poor results. Using only top-fill, you get nice big balls (so to speak). Ice removes easily.

The sphere ice tray works relatively well. The problem is when you fill all the holes and then go to carry it to the freezer the sphere moods are no longer filled right to the top so I end up tipping them up with water once it is in the freezer. This problem could be solved by placing the tray in the freezer empty and filling it up once it’s in position. The square cube tray is perfect and works wonderfully. Only thing is it can be a little rough to get the cubes out of the square tray once frozen. It just takes a bit of pushing and pulling but the silicone refuses to tear so I would say that it is designed perfectly. Well worth the money (especially if you enjoy a nice drink after work)

I love the squares. Super easy and come out nice. Sphere tray is complicated to pour water into. Once frozen they do not separate, or they only freeze in half spheres. Not a great design.
