Amfocus ICE-0510molds silicone ice molds 2.5 in set of 2

What it is

This set contains two large silicone ice moulds, each producing 2.5-inch cubes in square, round, rose and diamond shapes. The flexible, BPA-free material releases ice with a simple press, while integrated funnels, fill lines and locking buckles reduce spills when filling and moving the trays to the freezer.

Capacity and headroom

Each mould holds enough water for four oversized cubes, so a single freeze yields eight large pieces that melt slowly in whiskey, bourbon, scotch, old fashioned cocktails, iced coffee or juice. The covered lids keep ice clean and prevent freezer odours, but the trays must sit on a flat surface and should not be overfilled.

The deciding spec

The moulds measure 7 in by 5.3 in by 2.5 in and are both freezer-safe and dishwasher-safe, making daily cleaning straightforward. Buyers who need higher-volume ice production or prefer traditional small cubes will find this two-tray set limiting.
