Product review
What’s included: jumbo silicone cube molds with form-stabilizing rim and matching snap-on lids. Each cavity yields roughly 2-inch square ice blocks, sized to fit standard glasses and most insulated tumblers.
Materials and construction: made from high-grade, food-safe silicone with a supportive internal frame along the top edge to prevent bending while filling and moving. The bottom has individual flexible wells so each cube can be pushed up for easy release. The lids seat securely to reduce spills and keep ice from taking on freezer odors.
How to use: fill each compartment with water or any liquid you need frozen, attach the lid, and place the tray flat in the freezer for about 6–8 hours. To remove a cube, push up on the base of the individual well until the block pops free. Trays are stackable for space-saving storage and the sealed lids help keep contents fresh.
Care and versatility: the silicone is durable and heat-resistant, allowing for dishwasher cleaning and use in a range of kitchen tasks. Beyond ice, the molds work well for freezing broths, sauces, single-serve portions, or even baking small confections and molded snacks.

- Reinforced rim for easier filling and handling
- Flexible wells and sealed lids for simple removal and stacking
Cons

VerdictThese 2-inch silicone trays deliver large, slow-melting ice suitable for spirits and mixed drinks. A built-in reinforced rim keeps the shape during filling and handling while flexible compartments and a sealed lid make removal and stacking straightforward. They’re versatile enough for freezing portions of food and simple to clean — a practical addition for anyone who prefers oversized cubes that c

Reinforced edge makes filling a breeze
I’m picky about my ice and these hit the mark. The strengthened rim stops the tray from folding when you fill it, yet the wells are flexible so the cubes release smoothly. I haven’t needed the lids much, but they’ll be handy for stacking. I’ve been using them for a couple months and they’ve been great.

Great quality and versatile
Excellent build — the cubes chill beverages well and can even be used to cool water with produce for crispness. Quality feels solid and they do the job.

Exactly what I wanted
Very easy to release cubes — just push them out. Other trays I had were a struggle to remove cubes from; these are much easier. Satisfied with the quality.

Fits cups and insulated mugs perfectly
Cubes fit in regular glasses and insulated mugs that have smaller openings. They release easily — the tray feels floppy while filling, which actually helps pop the ice out. The silicone lid works as expected. Solid everyday use.

Performs well with a small learning curve
They produce consistent 2-inch cubes that slow dilution in whiskey and cocktails. Flexibility helps with removal, but filling while holding the tray can be tricky — best to set it on a level surface first. Overall they’re a good value and work reliably once you get used to them.

Cubes last much longer than standard ice
These make approximately 2" cubes that melt slower than normal cubes. On hot days a single tray of the large cubes lasts through most of the day, whereas smaller cubes disappear quickly. The cubes pop out with a push from the bottom; no warming needed. The only annoyance is carefully refilling and placing the tray back flat in the freezer.

Big ice, good results
I like these a lot. Yes, they’re soft silicone — fill them at the sink, set them on a flat board, snap the lid on and move them to the freezer. Give them a flat spot and you’ll have large ice cubes that pop out easily. They’ve held up over time.

Handy for freezing small portions
Useful not just for ice but also for freezing gravy, chutney, and small sauce portions. You can remove single servings without fuss.

Really happy with these large cube molds
These oversized silicone trays produce big square cubes that hold up in a wide tumbler. I used adhesive tabs to secure one cube in my travel mug and it didn’t melt as fast as smaller pieces. The cups pop out easily by pushing from the bottom. The lid fits snugly enough to avoid spills while transferring to the freezer. I’ve also used them for gelatin and fruit-filled cubes. The silicone feels thick and durable; you get multiple trays with lids and they should last a long time. Highly recommended.

Perfect for whiskey and cocktails
The 2-inch squares form cleanly with no cracks or sticking. They melt slowly so drinks stay cold without getting watered down. A real upgrade for evening pours.

Misleading frame claim
I purchased expecting a visible steel frame to hold shape, but received only silicone. If you need metal reinforcement, this isn’t what I expected.

Second order — still impressed
I reordered because these cubes don’t dilute drinks quickly; they last much longer and improve the drink’s taste. The lid prevents freezer odors from seeping in. Excellent overall.
