Gets the job done...
EDITED REVIEW SEE BELOW FOR MY ORIGINAL COMMENTSSo I may have been overly critical in my original remarks because I didn't really have a working system for using this product. One thing that I couldn't stand about this was it was very messy. From putting the water in, to taking the ice out. What I have found is that if you fill the plastic tub with warm water to within 3/8" to 1/4" from the top and then just place the blue silicone mold on top of the water, it will fill up through the holes and sink down as far as it will go. Once it's is down all the way, lightly push it down to insure it's seated . Then carefully put the tub into the colse cell foam box and carefully place it in the freezer. Leave it in the freezer for 36 hours and then you're ready to pull out the cubes. Run hot water around the outside of the plastic tub to ease in removing the ice mold. You don't need to go crazy, just enough hot water to pull out the ice tray. Don't try to melt the ice. Once the large block of ice is removed from the tub, take the back of a spoon and tap around the ice mold right along the bottom edge of the tray. Don't smack it hard, just enough to Crack the ice at that mating point. Then, twist the silicone mold like you would to a regular tray of ice. The mold will fall away from the chunk of ice and you can remove the individual cubes. You follow this procedure and you should never have any problems and you will be much happier afterwards!!ORIGINAL COMMENTSIt's not user friendly.. the holes in the bottom of the ice tray make it very cumbersome. The water underneath the tray ends up freezing to the ice in the tray and it a real pain in the butt to get separated. By the time you get it separated, the cubes have started to melt, then they stick to each other...I don't want to say it isn't worth it, because having clear ice is pretty impressive...But it's not worth the hassle to mess with on a regular basis.Oh, and it takes forever to freeze...
