Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Ice Cube Tray
Customer Review: Don't buy now, needs some work
Summary: 2 Stars
I had seen this in a magazine stating that it was a great product so I trusted and bought this because it looked so cool and is a great concept; unfortunately it needs some work. The good part is you don't have to fill each individual cube, you can just pour water in and it flows to the right part. The pushing each cube out sounds great but because ice expands and the bottom is flexible it gets stuck and you really can't get the cube out unless you let it melt a little before. The cube size is neat because it's oval but they are a little big for my taste. I would wait a while and see if they make improvements on the design, hopefully someday.Customer Review: I love these things
Summary: 5 Stars
The bad part.The trays are a bit wide, and I can see how some people might not like it.
The good parts
The trays slide rather easily, I'm not sure what other people mean about the lids sticking (both before & after freezing). Maybe they overfill the cube slots?
And the lids are great for keeping only some of the cubes coming out. All it takes after freezing is one twist to loosen the cubes in the slots, and you can slide the lid to let out however many you want. You don't even have to touch the cubes, you just poke one side of any cube with a spoon, fork, or whatever if it sticks.
The trays are easy to clean, and durable.
Customer Review: Great for Homemade Baby Food
Summary: 5 Stars
If you plan on making your own baby food and freezing into cubes these are the best thing out there. It works great and the cover is not a problem when the food is a puree or chunkier. I just slip it on and I don't have to waste any foil. Let the food freeze and then slip the cover off and remove. The cubes come out with ease. Of course if I forget about it and leave them in there for a few days it develops some freezer burn but that is my fault. The cubes need to be transferred to a freezer bag or storage container within 12 hrs to prevent burn. These are so much more economical than cube freezer trays marketed for baby food making.Customer Review: Great Trays!
Summary: 4 Stars
These trays are almost perfect for freezing baby food cubes. The lids slide on & off & trap out odors from affecting the baby food. They also are easy to pop the cubes out. My only complaint is that they are smaller cubes than I had hoped. I hoped they were at least 1 oz cubes, but they are only 3/4 oz cubes. So it takes me chopping up some cubes or combining 2 whole cubes to make a meal for my 7 month old. The trays are definitely a great buy compared to those marketed specifically for baby food making! Saved a few bucks with this choice & they fit well in my cramped freezer space.Customer Review: Big but excellent design
Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
Excellent design. Sliding cover is designed to let you dispense cubes one at a time. To loosen the cubes just run water over the bottom and shake the tray while locking cover is completely on.
Cons:
A little bigger than the basic ice cube trays. Design does not consider limited freezer space/s. I started filling the tray only halfway to get smaller cubes. I used to bartend so I wish the ice cubes were half the size just like in bars and nightclubs.
If you hear of same in smaller size alert me by commenting on my review.
