Expert Reviews


What experts liked

Stacking design keeps trays separated. Cube extraction requires little force. Overflow channels for easier filling.
Rubbermaid’s Easy Release Ice Cube Tray ($5) are pretty much quintessential ice cube trays. Coming in white plastic, each holds 16 cubes, and comes without a lid. They stack just fine and make perfectly acceptable ice.
It has a stackable design and is a trusted name in home goods.
They even pleased the pickiest of customers. “I’m a bit of a princess when it comes to ice, but I don’t like having to push the cubes out, like you have to with silicone,” writes one. “I got this one, and a half twist and out the ice cubes pop incredibly easily, and it’s the full cube."
The handles makes it less messy when you are filling and emptying.
Trays are very sturdy for long-lasting performance.
The ice cubes refrigerated in this ice cube tray provide us with the perfect rounded shaped ice cubes that are easily extracted from the tray.
This model has handles on the side for easier ice cubes taking out and it is very easy to clean.
When it comes to cleaning, there is nothing to worry since they are dishwater safe.

What experts didn't like

Ice cube size is exceptionally small. Hard plastic, not very flexible. Durability is an issue.
There’s nothing special about them though, and for the same money, we’d definitely take the Good Grips Ice Cube Tray with its odor-fighting lid.
Not listed as bpa free.
The cubes may appear to be too small.
They are shallower than expected.
After long usage, it can smell strange.
Poor quality silicone material.
