Large Silicone Whiskey Ice Cube Trays with Lids — 2-Pack (2" Cubes)
Product description
What you get: a pair of silicone ice cube molds, each with six large square cavities, plus two matching removable silicone lids. Together they produce twelve 2-inch square ice cubes per freeze cycle.
Materials and construction: the trays are made from food-grade flexible silicone for easy release and low-temperature durability. Each tray includes a silicone-wrapped steel rim under the top lip to give the tray structure while filling and moving to the freezer. The lids are snug silicone covers that protect ice from freezer odors and contaminants and make the trays stackable.
Size and performance: each cavity forms an approximately 2-inch square block designed to melt much more slowly than standard ice cubes, preserving the flavor of whiskey, bourbon, cocktails, iced coffee or juice. Large cubes require fewer pieces per drink and reduce dilution.
How to use: fill each cavity with water (filtered water recommended for the clearest cubes), press the lid on, and set the tray flat in the freezer. When frozen, push up from the bottom of each silicone well to pop out an individual cube. For easier release right from the freezer, run warm water over the bottom edge briefly.
Care and versatility: the silicone material withstands low temperatures and is dishwasher-safe for straightforward cleaning. Besides beverages, the molds can portion and freeze sauces, stocks, or fruit purées. The reinforced lip helps prevent spills while transporting the filled tray to the freezer.
Pros
- Produces large, slow-melting 2-inch cubes
- Flexible food-grade silicone for easy release
- Steel-framed lip and stackable lids for stable filling
Cons
- Tray walls are floppy while filling
- Lids are snug but not fully watertight
- Some users notice a silicone scent initially
VerdictThese two 6-cavity silicone trays produce twelve oversized 2-inch square ice blocks that hold temperature longer and dilute drinks more slowly. The soft silicone cavities release cubes easily by pressing from below, and the fitted lids keep odors and freezer debris away while allowing neat stacking. The metal-framed rim adds filling stability and makes carrying simpler. Minor drawbacks include som

Cute but they sent the Ana one not the Elsa one that was ordered. :( 5/5
Simple and reliable
Very easy to use and cubes release without fuss once frozen.

Reinforced rim keeps frozen goods clean
The rim lets you attach lids securely so debris doesn’t fall into the wells. The big blocks look great in drinks and the lid feature keeps the ice clear and protected.

Noticeable silicone odor/taste
Handy trays, but the silicone smell/taste is strong enough that I notice it in the first freezes.

Two trays, each with six very large cubes. The size is impressive and I really like them.

Excellent mold with huge cubes
Removing cubes is effortless and the blocks are very large. Lids are a welcome addition. Great value for a two-pack; I'll pick up another set.

Solid cubes and good silicone quality
Made from food-grade silicone that produces clean cubes without fracture lines. If removal is stubborn, a few seconds of warm water helps. I gave a tray to friends and will buy another set. Lids aren’t totally watertight.

Soft silicone and stable rim make them easy to use
The silicone is pliant so you can push cubes out from the bottom; much easier than my old rigid tray. Metal-reinforced lip gives structure for filling and carrying. Lids prevent spills and peel off easily. Would buy again.

Works well but could use sturdier parts
Lids could seal a bit tighter and thicker walls would make filling simpler. I can still pop cubes out with two thumbs and the larger blocks extend chill time, though they won’t fit in every small glass.

Keeps cubes full-size and ready to use
Two trays, six wells each. I fill with filtered water and the sealed lids stop the cubes from shrinking between freezes. Food-safe material and the big cubes hardly water down drinks. Single cubes pop out cleanly without disturbing the rest.

Pictures and description were misleading
Item didn’t match the listing photos for me—wells and overall finish felt different and quality seemed lower than expected compared with a previous version I bought from another seller.
