as a blender use, i agree
3DSMax users cannot comprehend the big cube
As Borg, we agree.
Long and thin ice cubes (ice rectangles?) that fit into bottles >>>
Spears. I think you are thinking of ice spears.
Man I can’t keep up with all the new music stars’ names
Is that what kids are calling icicles nowadays?
Until you tilt it back for a nice refreshing gulp and accidentally deepthroat frosty the snowman.
Pebbled ice is nicer imo, but it really depends on the drink
Agreed. I work from home and drink ice water all day. My countertop ice maker just shit the bed after a valiant three years of daily bullet ice production. But it was cheap, and hard to clean. I think I may pull the trigger on a nugget/pebble ice maker next due to its cleaning setup and because I think pebbled ice is much nicer.
I wish I could enjoy silicone ice molds, but I swear every time I try them I can taste the silicone.
“amateur” - me slamming an entire north american glacier in my cup

OR GOHOMEGlobal warming means they filly fit.
I need the big trays, they’re how I store surplus soups and sauces. Small cubes would be impractical for anything with chunks and be more of a pain to portion.
I do the same to portion homemade sauces and such. I have a silicone cupcake tray where each cup is 1/2 cup of liquid. So I fill and freeze it and pop them all out into a baggie to keep frozen till I need them. Then I can make super quick dinner by grabbing a couple of pucks from the freezer and warming it up to go on pasta and grilled chicken.
you freeze soup?
You don’t?
I’ve never. I always eat, or drink, all the soup in 1-2 days max, if not in one sitting. I just can’t help myself.
The problem isn’t you, friend. The problem is the puny size of your pots.
If you can still see the countertop, you don’t have enough crock pots full of soup 😁
Soup cubes to be nuked
Freezing soup is fine, but not in fucking ice cube trays.
Pop em out and in to a container, pre portioned quick to melt soup.
small cubes exist???
Two different purposes 😁 small ones for quickly cooling a drink, big ones for keeping it cool longer ❤️
those big ones go deep, but the little ones can be quite effective at tickling a fancy
My ice cube trays are what I’d call one of the platonic ideals of ice cube trays. White molded plastic, ability to stack with one another without touching the water so they don’t freeze together, and you get to twist it to make the ice unstuck. Also vaguely bad at the job.
got an image? very curious to see what stackable look like
Stackable!
I knew that’s what they looked like based on ‘vaguely bad at their job’
There’s a few styles, here’s one from Walmart, they’re super cheap. Style I’m familiar with has these sort of notched feet to ensure they stay together but without touching the ice.
Sphere ice rules:
It’s kinda cool to use spherical ice, but it doesn’t use freezer space efficiently.
My rebuttal is since there’s spheres the contact point between “cubes” it prevents massive ice chunks from forming.
That has never been an issue for me …
I got these trays because I had an icemaker fridge without a water line hooked up (landlords…).
Made ice and threw it in the dispenser.
Damn thing would jam all the time. Ice balls stopped the jamming.
Good luck filling the small cube one and not getting water everywhere
exaaactly, I fricking hate filling the small one
my freezer makes semicircle ones
Disagree! Give me crunchable ice any day
