Description
The most common type of ice cube tray is made of food-grade plastic. These trays feature individual compartments or wells, each shaped like a small cube. The plastic construction is durable, lightweight, and easy to handle. Some plastic ice cube trays come with a flexible bottom or a twistable mechanism, allowing for easy release of the ice cubes without the need for excessive force or running the tray under water.
Another popular type of ice cube tray is made of silicone. Silicone trays are flexible, making it effortless to remove the frozen cubes. They are also resistant to cracking or breaking, making them a long-lasting option. Silicone trays often come in various shapes and sizes, including standard square or rectangular cubes, as well as novelty shapes like hearts, spheres, or even famous characters. These trays add a touch of fun and creativity to your beverages or cocktails.
Ice cube trays may also feature additional features or design elements to enhance functionality and convenience. Some trays have lids or covers, allowing you to stack them in the freezer or prevent the absorption of any unwanted flavors or odors. Others may come with built-in handles for easy carrying or transporting of the filled trays. There are even specialty ice cube trays designed for specific purposes, such as large ice cubes for cocktails or infused ice cubes with built-in compartments for adding fruits or herbs.
