The OXO Good Grips Ice Cube Tray is a high-utility product designed to address common freezer storage frustrations. The frame is built from high-density, BPA-free polypropylene, which is rated to maintain its integrity at -18°C. A key innovation is the sliding silicone lid, which provides a hydrophobic barrier that helps protect the ice from absorbing volatile freezer odors that can affect flavor.
This rigid lid supports vertical stacking, allowing you to place other items on top without crushing the ice below. The tray's design features rounded wells that reduce the mechanical adhesion of the ice, facilitating the extraction of individual cubes. To maintain the smooth operation of the sliding lid, it is important to avoid overfilling the tray; water levels should stay strictly below the dividers to prevent the lid from freezing to the ice surface.
Over several years of use, hard water can lead to calcium buildup in the lid tracks, so occasional deep cleaning is recommended. While the tray itself is flexible, the lid may become brittle if dropped while frozen. This 2-pack is a practical choice for those who value organized, clean-tasting ice and are looking for a more durable alternative to basic plastic trays.
For those who need to create specialized cylinders for large travel tumblers, the Ukulork tumbler-specific molds offer a tailored solution.
