Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lekue Silicone Ice Cube Tray, Star
Customer Review: little ice stars
Summary: 5 Stars
These are the cutest ice trays. I have this one (the star ice cubes)and the penguin ice cubes. You get a really nice cute ice cubes. The star ice tray gives you a nice symmetrical star ice cube. The penguin ice cubes are not quite complete because they are flat on one side. One nice thing about the penguin ice cubes is they are rounded and don't hurt your fingers when you remove them. It is a little time consuming peeling the ice cubes out of the rubber trays. You will have to want to have shaped ice cubes. I am not sure either, how dishwasher safe these are. I think the one advantage of the star ice cubes that pushed the ball over the goal line for me on this purchase, and made it worthwhile having star ice cubes was this. The surface area of the ice is high compared to the volume. They just cool the drinks faster. It is great for martinis or margaritas on the rocks. You can't beat the star ice shape for a good quality drink. You will need several trays, if you are planning even a modest party, the ice stars are not that big.Customer Review: Good, but not entirely dishwasher-safe.

I used these for making star-shaped chocolates, they worked great!
However, although they say dishwasher safe, make sure they are on the upper rack. I accidentally washed it on the lower rack, and it was too close to the heating element and melted.
There was a Fred brand ice mold next to it which held up fine, since the Fred ones are more heat-resistant - you can put Fred ones in the oven - but not these!
I'd rate it higher if it hadn't melted in the dishwasher after the first time I used it.
Customer Review: Not impressed.

They look cute, don't they? Be warned... they are quite soft, and have nearly no edge to guard against spills. You either have to under-fill them or be extremely careful moving them around after you fill them with water.
Despite that, I was willing to work with them. Now I have two trays of ice... and I've so far gotten a total of two "cubes" worked free of them. Twisting, bending, pushing them from behind; nothing seems to work very well to get the ice out. I gave up when my skin started sticking to the ice.
Customer Review: Star Ice Tray
Summary: 5 Stars
These trays made the most adorable star ice cubes for a military event. I double boiled distilled water and then when cooled poured the water into the trays. The ice was perfectly clear and looked really fun floating in the guest cups. I loved these some much, I bought 8.Customer Review: Terrific Star Ice Cubes!
Summary: 5 Stars
Easy to pop out of the tray because of the material it's made of allows you to bend around the stars once they're frozen and get 'em all out easily. They look like starfish in your drink when they start to melt. Very cute. :)
