Ice Cube Tray Set, 4-Pack

What to know

This set is suited to people who want to make a batch of ice at home and keep some cubes ready for the next drink, especially when freezer space is limited. It includes four trays, a fitted lid for each tray, and a storage bin, together, the trays make 48 cubes. The trays combine plastic with soft silicone bottoms, and the materials are described as BPA-free. Each cube measures 1.7" x 1.1" x 0.8", a compact format intended to chill drinks quickly without watering them down as readily as larger cubes might.

The lids help shield ice from freezer odors, while the bin gives you somewhere to hold extra cubes after releasing them from a tray. That is a useful distinction from buying basic open trays alone: this set adds covered stacking and a place to store finished ice. Keep in mind that the cube size is modest, so it may not suit someone specifically looking for oversized cubes for slow-sipping whiskey. If your freezer shelf is unusually tight, the product details do not give the bin’s dimensions, so you cannot judge its exact footprint without that measurement.

Best use cases

Use the cubes for everyday drinks such as soda, juice, coffee, cocktails, or whiskey. The smaller format can be handy when you want ice ready for a quick pour rather than a single large cube. For a practical example, make coffee cubes ahead and drop them into an iced coffee, the tray design also lets you freeze fruit or other ingredients into the cubes. The included bin is useful when you need to free up a tray for another batch while keeping finished ice together.

It suits you if you want several covered trays that stack and a separate place to store cubes, including for a dorm room, RV, or compact refrigerator. You may want to skip it if your priority is large-format ice or if you need exact storage-bin dimensions before deciding whether it will fit. Compared with a single, simple tray, this set focuses more on organizing and storing a larger batch than on making specialty-shaped ice.

Tips for day-to-day use

Fill the trays, fit the lids, and stack them to use vertical freezer space. To release cubes, press the soft silicone bottom or twist the tray, side notches help you open the lid. If you are adding fruit, chocolate, or another ingredient, keep the pieces small enough to fit the individual cube compartments.

After freezing, move cubes into the bin if you want to reuse a tray. The trays can be rinsed, wiped clean, or put in the dishwasher, according to the product information. For cleaner-tasting ice, keep the lids on while the trays are in the freezer, the lids are intended to help block odors, not to make the ice immune to every strong freezer smell.

Before you decide

How many cubes can the set make? The four trays make 48 cubes in total, with 12 cubes per tray.

How do you release the ice? Press the silicone bottom or twist the tray to pop out cubes.

Can you clean the trays in a dishwasher? The product information says they can be put in the dishwasher, as well as rinsed or wiped clean.

Buying verdict

Choose this set if you want covered, stackable trays and a bin to keep a supply of everyday ice together, rather than a bare tray with no storage solution. Its BPA-free plastic-and-silicone construction and two release methods address routine use, while the compact cubes work across drinks and DIY flavored ice. The trade-off is the cube format: it is not an oversized option, and the missing bin dimensions make a precise fit check difficult for especially cramped freezers.
