Ice trays

Stainless steel and silicone ice trays that replace rigid plastic molds.

The water in an ice tray becomes part of your drink, so the mold and anything touching the water need suitable materials. We favor steel and silicone and examine lids separately. A good tray should release ice without damage and be easy to wash between refills.
