Samuelworld Large Ice Ball Maker with Lid, 6 x 2.5 Inch Ice Balls - Food Grade, Easy To Fill Round Silicone Ice Tray, Perfect Spheres Craft Ice Maker for Whiskey, Cocktails, Gifting - Grey

This is a clever device for making large ice balls. The device is pretty easy to use. I've made 50+ batches and the device works pretty consistently.A couple of notes:* The silicone top might not seal completely and leak water through a crack. It usually doesn't, but I've found that it's best to put the ice tray on a mini baking sheet in the freezer to catch any water that might leak out. When it does leak, I get one ice ball that might be only 3/4 complete.* It takes a full 24 hours to make a batch of ice. These ice balls are thick and take some time to freeze all the way through.* The ice can crack in water, which ruins some of the fun, but they often don't break apart, even if there is some cracking.* Removal can be a little tricky. I find it is best to let it sit for a couple minutes, break all the ice of the top out of the little funnels (if any), then use my thumb to push the ice out of the silicone while pulling back on the edge of the silicone. I do this on top of the tray so that when the ice falls, it lands in the plastic tray and doesn't roll away.

Love it. Works great and easy to take the ice balls out.

I received the Samuelworld Large 4 x 2.5 Inch Ice Ball maker this afternoon and like its quality and ease of use. Unfortunately, the staff at the Samuelworld store who sold me this item could not be bothered to place it in a proper box or envelope for shipping. The shipping label was just slapped on the retail shelf packaging and shipped off. As a result, when the product arrived the retail packaging was torn open and the product exposed to anything with which it came in contact while being shipped. This is not what I have come to expect from vendors who sell on Amazon.

These molds are very solid. Perfect ice balls every time!!!! They keep my old fashioned cold and melts slowly.

They work nicely. Good size ice balls for beverages.

Just what I was looking for, and at a good price point.

I had hoped that these ice balls would pop out of the container easily and they do not. The balls have cracks, and have to be run under water to remove them from the mold. I ordered one for us and one for relative across the nation. Neither of us can be successful with these with out another huge project.

One for special ice cubes for drinks with edible flowers. The second one for natural colour dyeing. I will have to be careful not to mix them up!
