Silicone ice cube trays are food‑grade, flexible, and non‑stick, designed for easy ice release, stacking, and durability. They are safe for direct food contact, freezer/microwave/dishwasher‑friendly, and ideal for drinks, freezing purees, sauces, or making candy/gelatin molds.

Core Features

• Food‑Grade Safety: FDA‑approved, BPA‑free, LFGB‑certified (many), non‑porous, and non‑latex—safe for ice, baby food, and direct food contact.

• Temperature Resistance: Typically −40 °C to 230 °C (−40 °F to 450 °F); safe for freezer, microwave, and dishwasher.

• Flexible & Non‑Stick: Push from the bottom to release ice without twisting or tapping; preserves cube shape.

• Durable & Reusable: Resists cracking/warping; replace if sticky, cracked, or deformed.

• Stackable & Space‑Saving: Many include lids to prevent spills, odors, and freezer burn; stack neatly in the freezer.

Common Types & Uses

How to Choose

1. Purpose:

• Cocktails: Choose large cubes/spheres (2+ in) for slow melt and minimal dilution.

• Everyday: Standard 1–1.25 in cubes balance cooling speed and melt rate.

• Freezing Purees/Sauces: Use small cavities or divided trays for portion control.

2. Size & Cavity Count: 12–18 cavities per tray are common; large cubes may have 4–6 cavities.

3. Lid: Prioritize a snug, spill‑resistant lid to prevent odors and enable stacking.

4. Material: 100% food‑grade silicone or silicone + PP hybrid for rigidity; avoid thin, flimsy trays.

5. Certifications: Look for FDA/LFGB for food safety and peace of mind.

How to Use

1. Place the tray on a flat surface (e.g., a baking sheet) to avoid spills during filling and freezing.

2. Fill each cavity ¾ full (leave space for expansion).

3. Add fruits, herbs, or edible flowers for flavored ice (optional).

4. Cover with a lid (if included) and freeze for 4–6 hours or overnight.

5. To release: Let sit at room temperature for 1 minute, or run warm water over the bottom; push gently from below to pop out ice.

6. Store ice in a sealed container or keep in the tray with the lid on.

Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: Hand‑wash with mild soap and warm water, or top‑rack dishwasher (avoid sharp scrubbers).

• Drying: Air‑dry completely before storing to prevent mold/mildew.

• Storage: Stack with lids on, or hang using built‑in loops (if available).

• Replacement: Replace if the silicone becomes sticky, cracked, discolored, or loses flexibility.
