The Iceberg manual ice crusher is a portable, electricity-free tool designed for making crushed ice for drinks or seafood platters. Its construction features a BPA-free ABS plastic body and a high-clarity polymer ice chamber. The unit utilizes 304 stainless steel blades, which are highly resistant to corrosion and maintain their edge well over time. A strong suction base is included to keep the unit stable on smooth, non-porous countertops during use.
This manual crusher is most effective when used with slightly softened ice cubes. Allowing ice to sit for a few minutes before crushing reduces the resistance on the crank handle and helps protect the internal gears. It produces a coarse, "crushed" texture that is ideal for specific cocktails like Mint Juleps. Because of its small capacity and manual operation, it is best suited for preparing 1-2 drinks at a time.
The compact design makes it easy to store in a cabinet or take along for outdoor events. To keep the unit in good condition, it is best to hand wash and dry the blades and chamber after each use. While the ABS housing is impact-resistant, handling the crank with a steady, moderate rhythm is the most efficient way to process ice without putting unnecessary stress on the components.
For a powered option that can produce large quantities of ice for parties, you might consider the OKF 380W Electric Ice Shaver.
