How to use it

Fill a tray, place it in the freezer, then set the frozen tray upside down on the bin and close the lid. Press the centre of the lid with both hands to release the cubes into the container. The push-style method keeps the transfer straightforward, while the scoop makes it easy to portion ice into glasses or a serving bowl. What helps when you’re preparing drinks for guests? Having the cubes collected in a bin means they’re ready to serve without taking up a separate loose tray in the freezer.

The small cube format also suits drinks where smaller pieces are useful, or DIY batches made with fruit, cocktails, wine or whiskey. Compared with a basic tray that stores ice only in its mould, this set combines moulding and covered storage, stack the trays to make better use of freezer space.

In the box

The set includes two ice cube trays, a storage bin, a lid, a pillar plate and an ice scoop. The bin holds nearly 84 cubes, giving you a place to collect and store prepared ice between uses. The stackable trays and covered container make the components easier to organize together in the freezer.

Buyers commonly appreciate the set’s ease of use and its ability to make and hold ice. Feedback is more mixed on the size, how readily cubes release and long-term durability, so the push-release steps are worth following when transferring a frozen batch.
