Polar Recovery Ice Bath Block Moulds for Cold Water Therapy/Cold Plunge Extra Large Brick Moulds for Ice Bath (2 Moulds)

I love these, one of them I use for a massive block, which we stick inside an esky when going to the park because of the size it does a great job keeping everything cool throughout the day. It's better than smaller ice cubes which have less volume and less density, which therefore melt faster however if you're going to use this in a professional setting, i.e. for ice baths or baths, et cetera then the lid is a little bit flimsy, you can attach it but it doesn't clip on, given the volume of water inside that means you can't stack these on top of each other. So I've had to give it a full star rating, but for around the home, ahead of summer and outdoor barbecues or picnics, these are good for getting really big blocks of ice that last longer.

Ordered these for our cold water tub, and they ice blocks once made last so much longer than regular ice, they are going to be perfect for summer to keep the water cooler.

Massive Ice Blocks fantastic for the incoming summer to cool down your Ice Tubs. I had a whole drawer in my freezer filled with Ice Cream Tubs filled with water, this makes things a lot easier to just fill up two instead of around 6. There is a little issue with timing though as an ice cream tub takes around 12 - 24 hours to freeze but these do take a little longer and you will be looking around 24-48 hours depending on your freezer and settings.They are easy to fill and store if you have room, as they are so big I have to remove the drawer from the freezer but this actually makes it easier not to spill any water. The lid isn't perfect, it feels like it should be on solid but it can easily come off. It is much more secure once the ice has formed which isn't the reason for the lid. That said as the block is so big I never spilt any water with or without the lid.Block of ice can be tricky to remove but better then some others I have used, a little warm water on the outside helps to loosen. This for me will only be used for my Ice Tub anyway so I can dunk the whole mould in and let it separate itself.It's pricey for what it is which is why I have knocked off a star. Not sure how long they will last either but will come back and edit should I have any issues.

I use these to make ice lollies for the horses, I fill them with watered down apple juice and carrot, apple, pear, oranges, kiwis, bananas, whatever I have which may be starting to go over.Once made, I tip them out into a large, low solid trug for each horse, who then spends ages having a great time!They do obviously take up a lot of room in the freezer, and they can be a fiddle to get the blocks out.They're perfect for my needs!

The media could not be loaded. Some huge issue with it:1- It is really hard to take out, because the silicone mould are thick and not flimsy enough, so it's hard to bend it out when it's frozen solid, have to keep wedging it bit by bit. Eventually it comes out massive.2: Want some reassurance it is food grade material, there is no such statement. Could be made of rubber and not food grade silicone, I have asked the company to which no reply, but when or if they do I will update this review.The good things1- The ice cube is huge.2- Can use an ice pick and break it down into pieces to be used in multi-purpose situations such as keeping cool during summer, or surrounding drinks keeping them ice cold.3- Although difficult to eject from the mould, it is solid enough to not spill any water when storing, thanks to the lid mechanic, and thick solid walls, but like I said this is a double edge sword.I'm between 3-4 stars with this, It has potential, but I have used an ice bucket that is flimsy, making it so easy to eject out of the bucket, and are slightly larger, that it is superior to these ones, and about 4 quid cheaper for 2. They were called Extra Large Ice Cube Tray, and they looked like black buckets.There is apparently a mistake in the message they sent me, and now say the tubs are made of silicone (previously PVC). Not very reassuring, or professional to be honest, but the fact they tried to fix it, shows they are honest at least I hope.

After vigorous training sessions, using the ice bath blocks has become part of my recovery routine. Moulding and using the blocks is straightforward, and they significantly aid in muscle recovery. The large size ensures that they last longer during the bath, providing sustained cold exposure, which is crucial for effective therapy. I've noticed a marked improvement in how quickly muscle soreness dissipates, making these a valuable part of my recovery tools.

Really pleased with this product. Whilst titled ice bath ice moulds they are really just giant ice block moulds so very versatile. Sturdy and easy to fill/ decant ice block. Good value for money!

I have a distinct aversion to cold water and consequently I don't see me using these moulds to produce ice blocks. I will be much happier strapping a cooled gel appliance onto any afflicted part and letting that do the work. I ordered these because I fairly often do a bit of batch cooking and storage in the fridge is always a problem. Most of my containers are too small or just take up too much surface area . I think these may just provide a convenient answer.When the containers arrived I was very happy with their size and profile. They will fit in my fridge and hold a fair amount of whatever I have batch cooked without taking up too much shelf space and they will also make good use of the space between shelves. I also liked the bit of flexibility they have because that will give a bit of latitude if space is tight.The moulds are of what seems to be a fairly tough and heavy duty silicone type material and I think they should last for many years. I feel that for my use these are going to work very well and of course they would be great for making ice blocks too. The only issue I have with them is the price which works out at just about £10 each. I don't see the value although they are a very good and versatile product which can be put to a number of uses.
