I'm not endorsing or defending it, but this thing makes crystal clear ice cubes, not normal cloudy cubes. The design allows water to freeze from the top downward, forcing air out of the bottom as it freezes. To do this It's insulated, which is what makes it so bulky.

Incorrect. I've owned one of these for a year now. This makes crystal clear ice balls unlike the device you suggested. It's no money grab, it's a legitimately great item and I would suggest reserving judgement until you try it for yourself.

This clear ice mold is aimed at making crystal clear cubes or balls for cocktails, with the insulated top down freezing design helping push air out so the ice comes out clearer than standard cloudy molds. The clear ice is described as denser, slower melting, and better looking, which adds a strong wow factor for hosting. The 2.5 inch size is also called out as larger than typical 2 inch molds. The main caveat is that clarity depends heavily on the water used, and the bulky insulated build takes up more freezer space and freezes slowly.

Common Questions (4)

  • This mold is described as making clearer ice than standard silicone Tovolo-style molds, which can come out cloudy. Tovolo molds are also noted as cheaper and able to make clear cubes with extra steps, while this insulated design is bulkier and takes more freezer space.

  • It can make crystal-clear ice by freezing water from the top downward and forcing air out the bottom. The insulated design is what enables the clarity, though the result can still depend on water quality.

  • The mold makes 2.5-inch ice pieces, which is larger than the 2-inch size some shoppers expected. That size fits smaller glasses like Glencairns, but it may be too small if you want the larger bartender-style cubes shown in comparison photos.

  • It typically takes a full day to freeze because the insulated design slows the process. After freezing, the ice can be popped out and stored in a ziplock bag.

That's not even the same thing. Those are regular ice cubes, not clear.

This is the one time I have to comment. The stupid tovolo is junk, I can only speak for my experience but please if you love something not from the OP do us a favor and start your own post (OP get it) and look for likes. I would love a clear ice cube and if THIS OPs post is it, then I am very tempted to buy it even at retail.


Can someone here report back heck quote my post if you would, and tell us this works?

2.5"? That's for a small glass, not bad, just small, it could work in my Glencairn glasses. I have the one they compare to, and they are almost 4", like in the bartender picture. False advertising.

I completely agree. But the only reason you would need this is for advertising- still or video. Does anyone else really care if their ice is airless?

That's a good sized Glencairn. The openings are usually under 2 inches.

But yeah, for a normal glass you'll want a bigger size.

I love the ones in the original post so much, I bought 2 more today. They are very compact, easily stack if needed, and the ice balls are almost glass like. 10/10 from me

Agree! Have been using Tovolo for 5 years+. This makes clear ice unlike Tovolo.

I had to play around to find the exact time when the ice in the mold was frozen but the water at the bottom was liquid/semi-frozen. It depends on individual refrigerators/freezers. For me it was the 26 hour mark in a samsung Vs 24 in a freezer.

P.S. Clear ice does taste better and melts slowly. Tovolo in a 64 Oz bottle melts in 1 hour Vs Clear ice stays solid for 5+ hours
