The Veiderui 5-piece set is designed for high-volume utility, utilizing a dual-material construction to improve the ice extraction process. The rigid polypropylene frame provides stackable strength, while the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) "push-points" at the bottom of each well allow for the removal of cubes without twisting the entire tray. This design is built to handle the physical stress of frequent use better than all-rigid plastic models.
Specifications indicate that the lids are friction-fit rather than gasketed, meaning they are designed to protect against odors and allow for 5-high vertical stacking, but they are not 100% airtight if the trays are tilted. A practical reality of using these trays is that overfilling them past the 90% mark can cause an ice sheet to form across the top, which can put unnecessary stress on the lid clips and make the push-bottoms less effective.
The materials are BPA-free and rated for a wide temperature range, though the plastic tabs on the lids can become brittle if handled immediately after extraction from a deep-freeze environment. Regular cleaning with a vinegar solution is helpful for maintaining neutral-tasting ice, as polypropylene can sometimes absorb freezer scents over several months. This set offers high value for those looking to stock a large bin with consistent, standard-sized cubes.
For an alternative that focuses on producing uniform spheres for a more premium look, the Dclobtop Round Ice Cube system is an excellent choice.
