I made a bad choice here. I have to use a knife to get the cubes out and eventually I'll cut into the material leaving holes. I know that the hard plastic ones develop cracks because you have to twist them to loosen the cubes, but that takes about ten years of constant summer refilling and emptying.

Love the depth of these ice trays

Not as easy to use as I'd hoped.

I was tired of buying ice. I bought two sets, so 4 trays, and there is plenty of ice. The cubes pop out easily and the trays stack so they take up very little space in the freezer.

Pretty Cool, but hard to get cubes out of
