You probably won't like this if volume is your thing. The spheres have about 20% less area per unit volume than the cylinders These are also super easy to use, and you don't have to be concerned about them getting bumped in the freezer since they aren't trays. You can also spin the spheres around in your drink, which adds to the cool factor.
It's possible to find alternatives that hold 8 to 10 ounces for less money. After you have cooled your soup, you should be able to freeze any cheap plastic container as long as there is room for expansion while the soup is being frozen.
Running water over the mold to loosen it up to peel it off was the cause of that. As of now, I use cold tap water most of the time, which has helped prevent the problem. I also let the mold sit out on the counter for a little while, maybe 5 minutes or so, so it If you have time to do this, it is OK, but it has prevented the ice ball from I do not have an idea how to split a freezer inside. Thanks for reading. I hope it's helpful.
The two sets of these have been with me for four years now. As a result, the silicone tops have absorbed so much of the freezer smell that they now produce ice that smells awful and can't be used As with any silicone product used in this manner, it will be susceptible to the reactions described above A knock on Tovolo is not intended. As a whole, the molds still appear to be Based on various articles I read, I found something that says silicone tops can be baked out of the smell. I'm currently trying this. It would be great if they smell free, but if not, I still would buy two more without a second thought!

They completely changed the way I consume pure liquor that costs a lot. They are great for the price. If you place it right side up, it will get cloudy, crack, and melt faster. Here are some tips for getting solid clear(er) ice It should be filled out with pre-calculated information You can place them upside down in a very small cooler filled 1/2 inch of water after boiling or filtering It would be fine to use a cooler like this.
It's the kind of whiskey you should get if you like it on the rocks. If you ever see me busting out the spheres, you will be surprised how many people comment on them. I find these spherical ice cube makers to be very entertaining. It was quite cheap to buy them, and I regret I didn't buy them sooner. Here's a tip The spheres of ice you create after freezing tap water that has been boiled will be quite clear. Thanks for taking the time to let me know if this review was helpful or not.
The steps should be followed exactly as described. No more or less than the line drawn in the lower section of the mold should be filled. In the first batch I overfilled and the ball was out of shape. Also, the recipe only specifies freezing for four hours and no longer. I only made one change, and that was to use distilled water and boil it, wait for it to cool to room temperature before filling the mold, then freeze for the duration. Take a look at the pictures! The seller's products are excellent, and I will buy more in the future.
I viewed the YouTube video posted by another customer on a company's website on the box, but there were no instructions included in the box. The first batch was ugly as I filled the water by using the little hole in the top instead of paying attention to the spelling. The expansion people will use the hole in that wall. I love it. Placing the container in the freezer once it has been filled with water is recommended. You just have to do it. If you let it sit on the counter for a few minutes, it will pop The water will cause cracks if it is run over the wire. I love this gadget a lot. It is highly advisable to use it the first time and get it right.
Undoubtedly, there is a trick to this. My use of hot and room temperature distilled water hasn't been successful. I bought two sets of 2 and have tried both. 2 salvaged ice spheres were found in hot water to be cloudy with lots of cracks (and 2 As a result of the room temperature, we found 3 salvaged cubes (and one that split in half) which were also cloudy and showed It has been my plan to order a small cooler as I hope it will slow the freezing process and allow the cubes to become clearer. It seems as though I can get seemingly clear cubes and spheres from other brands (both squares and rounds of various sizes), but not clear cubes and spheres from other brands. While the molds are of good quality, I expected far better results from them. I have updated I have been improving my spheres after some trial and error, so a new update is in order. The trick is to know how to use them. Water that has been distilled! The spheres make a better appearance when they are placed inside an insulated lunch bag since the freezing process is slowed down and they become more clear. A good technique for making them look like giant glass marbles is to rinse them before adding them to a cocktail to remove the frost. Although not completely clear, this is a step in the right direction. Boiling distilled water is a waste of time. As a result of this method (without using an insulated lunch bag), the spheres ended up very cracked and broke into pieces in the Would be nice if they included an option to add & The package could be upgraded to 5 stars if an explanation of the use of the insulated container is provided. A couple of these molds, plus an insulated container to freeze them in, would be about 35 percent more expensive than a Wintersmiths sphere mold and.
There are instructions in the box, and there is a fill line. Take off the grey lid, fill to the line, put gray lid back on and the excess water will come out through the hole but no more, it self seals. I don't know why some people are saying that. Those are my all-time favorite Amazon purchases! I bought four of them and have been using them for a few days now and they work like a charm. The ice does not melt very quickly in my Yeti keeps my drink cold. It does seem that some people moan about how clear the ice really is? If you are using ice, then who cares you obviously need to change the water you are There is nothing wrong with the.
This is a great price for a great game! A lot of fun is had by all with these sphere ice cube makers. Despite the fact that they are very inexpensive, I wish I had bought them earlier. By boiling tap water a few minutes before freezing (and pouring the liquid into the mold while it was still hot), I was able to produce significantly clearer ice spheres. Give it a try An A/B test I did showed one without boiling, and one with boiling. (I have attached a picture of the A/B test).
