Clear Ice Cube Maker - 2.5" Ball - Stainless Steel Clear Ice Maker - Compact Design - for Whiskey, Cocktails, Bourbon - 2 PACK with Ice Tong & Ice Box

I never thought I'd write a review about ice balls, but here I am writing about ice balls.I prefer my whisky and bourbon served over clear ice. A minimal ice shape slows down dilution and that means large ice chunks works best. 2" cubes work well, but an Ice ball offers the least surface area. I've tried several clear ice ball/mold systems. All have been frustrating.Basic theory to mold clear ice is to make it inside an insulated container with a reservoir on the bottom and ice mold on top. Clear ice will form on top. The not-so-clear ice with minerals and bubbles sit at the bottom. Some systems work kinda okay but all are difficult to manage if the mold is silicon and the container foam. The problem is the combination of flexible silicon mold and flexible foam make it very difficult to remove the mold and shaped ice.This one work really well because the container is a thermal stainless cup and the mold is silicon. Because the container is rigid, even when frozen the inner silicon mold moves freely out of the base as the ice is formed and expands. Unlike any other clear ice system the silicon mold is pushed up and easily released from the container. From the mold, the ice ball can be easily removed. The mold ice is perfect in shape with no flaws and mostly clear. It really works!I wish the container was taller by an inch to allow more room for the less-than-clear-ice below. Clear ice formed in the mold would be more consistent. PS When making clear ice, I use filtered water.

I can't believe how well these work. My wife bought me a mold years ago that never worked. And they were too small anyway. I've seen how insulation works on yt when making clear ice. So It appeared these would work. They did not disappoint.

My fiancé loves this and it actually functions

it takes more the 24hrs to make them but they do very well over all.

These work GREAT. We love them for old fashioned. They produce crystal clear ice balls!

The ice was clear but good luck getting the inside pieces out of the outside container. My husband finally got the apart but not something I am willing to fight regularly so I threw it away.
