Silicone Ice Molds Set of 2 - Circle Ice Cube Molds for Large Round Ice Balls - Ideal Sphere Shaped Big Ice Balls for Whiskey, Bourbon, Scotch, and Other Drinks - Includes Extra Cocktail Recipes

Do you find yourself constantly filling ice cube trays to keep up with the demand for ice in your household? Are you constantly running out to purchase a bag of ice because the previous bag has been emptied and conveniently discarded in the freezer? Does it seem that no amount of ice is enough for your family's choice of drinks? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, then the Cuzzina ice ball maker molds are for you!For years I've been a slave to monitoring the ice in our household. I finally came to the realization that I needed something bigger to quell the arctic cravings in this house. I searched Amazon and lo and behold I found these sphere molds. 100% FDA approved silicone, BPA free with a 100% lifetime warranty? I ordered them without hesitation! The rest, as the saying goes, is history.I use spring water and fill the molds just below the fill the line, to allow room for expansion. I allow the spheres to sit at room temperature for 8 minutes or so, before I attempt to remove them from the molds. They work perfectly! Everyone uses one sphere for their drink, and it keeps the drink cold without watering it down. I received 3 e-mails from the company, one of which included an e-book of cocktail recipes. Their customer service has been stellar and a wonderful surprise, because let's face it, customer service is an afterthought with most companies nowadays.Thank you Cuzzina, I LOVE your product! I've finally been liberated from filling endless ice trays and going to the store for bags of ice. I made a lot of spheres ahead of time, in anticipation for the demand, so there should be enough to last a little while. Nevertheless, I'm going to stay ahead of the madness and will most likely order another set of these molds. Now if only I could get someone else to make these spheres instead......

Standard for all my reviews: When reviewing products, I always remain objective and honest about the product or service. I always review with information that I feel others would like to know about the product as I always assume what I'm writing will influence for or against the purchase. I always try to go above and beyond surface characteristics and input into quality, value and application. Most importantly, I end the review with an answer as to whether I'd purchase the product again which I believe is the most critical question pertaining to the item. To manufacturers: Want me to review your items? Just let me know!Practice makes perfect on these, at least for me. Firstly, I tend to not read instructions much and should have. More than anything, just keep two things in mind:1) Note the fill lines. If you don't, you will not get result you are happy with. The lines are about right but you can fill even just a bit less if desired.2) Best results with purified water. I tried boiling the water as recommended by others but the results still weren't nice, clear, ice balls. The purified water makes for very clear ice, sometimes with fissures and/or cracks but each is a like a snowflake, unique and I like the 'flaws' in each one.After using bottled water and following the fill-line instructions, I'm not getting really good looking ice balls for my scotch. It's a really nice upscale touch if you are having guests over. Sometimes peeling the enclosure away from the ice balls is a bit tricky but the more you do it, the easier it gets. I'm now keeping 4-6 finished ice balls on hand at all times in a baggy with two more ready to go in the molds.Highly recommend these little guys and may get another set. Great job Cuzzina!

I got these as a gift for my brother.The ice balls they make are a decent size, but aren't so huge that they don't fit into the glass.His main complaints are that they take about 24 hours to make (what a shocker that a BALL of ice takes a while to harden all the way throughout). They also leak a bit if you open the freezer before they had time to harden around the perimeter [best to start at night].And also, if you fill the ice straight into the balls and stick them in the freezer the ice will be cloudy. He had to do some online researching for the best method to make clear ice balls.

I'm a fan of conversation pieces myself.. and this is just something you don't see enough of. Perfectly round balls of ice. Its really fun to bust these out for parties or casual drinks. I'm writing this review because I feel like this could be used for even more fun activities , for example.. I'm working on making some flavored ice balls too. Next week I'm going to fill one with my favorite fruit juice and see what happens. If it goes well maybe I'll throw in a strawberry or 2 all sliced up! Its actually a fun little thing.. even though it's just filling up a ball to make ice , the kids love it. They like helping and taking the ice out. Oh I almost forgot how funny it was to watch my ferret react to one of them. He thought it was a toy until he realized he could drink it!I really wanted to let everyone know how cool of an experience I'm having and I really didn't expect it. I have been wanting some ice molds like this for years but I couldn't find them anywhere. Its just one of those products I've only seen in a few places at random times and thought "Hey I need some of those!" ; They are very easy to use , well made and very durable. They are made of 100% FDA grade Silicone. And they take up almost no room in the freezer. The box was even nice and compact. A well designed and unexpectedly fun product :) The shipping was on time if not earlier than expected as well. Really no complaints on the ordering or the end product. Will purchase again from this seller =) Thanks Cuzzina for making my kitchen activities with the kids a bit more fun. They want to fill one up everyday lol.
