Perhaps you’re part of the lucky population that has a freezer with a built-in ice maker. But maybe, like us, you are at the whim of your ice tray: did you remember to fill it? Did it spill everywhere? Are the cubes the right size for your glass? What about your water bottle?
We know the trials and tribulations of the ice tray life and we’re here to make it a little easier with some ice-cold solutions you didn’t know you needed.
Here are four ways to upgrade your ice game.
W&P Design Peak Collection, $14+
You know when you see something and think “damn, I should have thought of that?” That’s how we feel about this entire collection, specifically designed to make better ice cubes. If we had to choose, our favorites would be the Water Bottle Ice Tray and the Crushed Ice Tray.
Ice Breaker Pop, $18
We’ll tell you up front because the description doesn’t: it basically poops out your ice and it’s delightful. The description does hit on the other important points: it’s stackable, sanitary and you fill it up like a water bottle, so never worry about spilling water again.
These top-rated ice molds are ideal for cocktails or anytime you want some chill that doesn’t water down. Constructed with leak-proof materials, you’ll get perfectly shaped slow-melting ice every time.
Onyx Stainless Steel Ice Cube Tray, $30
Stainless steel ice cube trays are a great option if you find silicone or plastic retain too many freezer smells. Traditionally, stainless steel trays are a pain to get ice out of, but this innovative design has a pivot tool to make it all too easy.
