Ice Cube Trays Silicone, Sphere Ice Ball Maker with Lid for Whiskey and Cocktails & Bourbon, Reusable and BPA Free 1 Pack

This item is as advertised. The frozen balls comes out as round as you make them. The ice lasts about as long as the drink in your glass. The problem is the funnel that comes with it is too small. I can't find mine and it affects the shape. How can I get another funnel?

When I bought a new fridge it came w/o an egg tray for the door and all that I could find on line or in the stores was the traditional ones that didn't fit the space. Needless to say, I was thrilled with this ice ball maker with its 6 indentations where the eggs fit perfectly. The top is, of course, useless for this purpose but I'm saving it in case I suddenly want to make ice balls (although I doubt it, because this thing is so perfect as an egg tray)!

If you're careful enough it does produce round ice and for the price, it's really not bad. Overall it does what I wanted it to. Just takes a little more work than anticipated. I'd suggest putting it on a tray once filled. Otherwise it loses its seal and the water leaks and you wind up with half shaped spheres and an icy mess in your mold.

The cubes were easy to make. Just pour the water in the form and put it into the freezer.The spheres took some practice. First of all, the spheres are just under 2 ins in diameter (1 7/8") unless you count the thin ridge that encircles each sphere. The silicon form is two pieces and while they fit together, it took practice to get the forms to fit together well.Even when you have the forms together, water can still leak out if the forms separate while you are filling them. If this occurs, you will end up with water all over. The forms will separate if you pour the water in too fast and trap air in the form. The "gift" funnel fits in the hole for water but it doesn't allow air to come out unless you pour water really, really slowly. If you pour the water too fast, air will get trapped in the form and, as you add more water, the forms will separate. If any air does get trapped in the form and you put it into the freezer, the form will separate as the water freezes.To avoid trapping air in the form, you can either power water really slowly or slightly lift the funnel while you're pouring water so that the air can vent out. You have to be patient because neither method is fast.Removing the ice from the forms (cube or sphere) is easy if you run water around the form.You patience will be rewarded with nice large ice cubes and spheres! I really like them and use them for all my beverages instead of the ice cubes my freezer normally makes.

I’ll just copy and paste what the last reviewer said because it’s 100% accurate. I regret I didn’t read the reviews before I made the purchase.“ This just does not work. The top floats off the bottom with no seal to contain the water so you don’t really ever get a round ice cube. Because there is no seal the water leaks out and what a frustrating mess.”

Perfect

The sphere tray doesn't work. It comes with a tiny funnel to fill the top holes but it's completely unnecessary because the water just spills from sphere to sphere and in-between. The top does not fit or seal the spheres. The ice balls are all flat on top, and not just a little bit. They are also WAY smaller than I thought. These are not the large spheres that fit well in a lowball glass. You need several. The square tray makes larger than average cubes, but not huge. Definitely not worth the money. Do yourself a favor and buy a more expensive product!

I have one of those turkey injectors and it works great on filling this with water or juice. The ice lasts longer than regular cubs. Now I know why they use it in whiskey. Doesn’t water it down as quickly as regular ice and keeps it cold.
