While most ice cube trays successfully freeze water, they can be difficult to maneuver when full, don’t release the ice easily, take up too much space in the freezer, or produce misshapen cubes. To solve those problems, classic plastic trays are being replaced by silicone molds and trays with locking lids.
I conducted multiple rounds of testing in the 16 best ice cube trays and molds, and I spoke with Gitter and Micah Melton, Beverage Director at The Aviary, to find out what makes a great ice cube tray. Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado or just a fan of iced water, one of the best ice cube trays in this guide is perfect for you.
