FAQs

How many ice cubes does this tray make?

This ATEK ice cube tray features 160 individual grids, producing 160 small, crushed-style ice cubes per use.

Is the silicone material safe for food?

Yes, the tray is made from food-grade, BPA-free, and non-toxic silicone, ensuring safe use for ice and other frozen food items.

Can I put this ice cube tray in the dishwasher?

Yes, the ATEK ice cube tray is dishwasher safe, making cleaning convenient. It is recommended to place it on the top rack.

What is the advantage of small ice cubes?

Small, crushed-style ice cubes are designed to chill beverages more rapidly than larger cubes and are ideal for cocktails, iced coffee, and smoothies.

How do I ensure the ice releases easily?

The flexible silicone design allows cubes to pop out smoothly. Ensure cubes are fully frozen, and gently push from the bottom of each compartment.

Can I use this tray for something other than water?

Absolutely. The tray is safe for freezing fruit juices, purees, baby food, sauces, or other liquids you wish to freeze in small portions.

Does the tray maintain its shape?

Yes, the silicone is designed to be durable and flexible, resisting cracking and maintaining its shape over time for long-lasting performance.

Troubleshooting

Ice cubes are difficult to remove.

Ensure the tray has been in the freezer long enough for the ice to be fully frozen. Try running a little cool water over the bottom of the tray for a few seconds. Push firmly from the bottom of each cube compartment.

Tray smells of plastic or other odors.

Wash the tray thoroughly with warm, soapy water and allow it to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. You can also try soaking it in a solution of baking soda and water for a few hours.

Ice cubes are not fully formed or have jagged edges.

Ensure the tray is level in the freezer and that the liquid was not overfilled. Check that your freezer is maintaining a consistent, cold temperature.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effortless ice cube release without needing to twist or bend the tray.
  • Produces a large volume of small ice cubes ideal for quick beverage chilling.
  • Made from safe, BPA-free, food-grade silicone.
  • Durable construction that resists cracking and maintains shape.
  • Easy to clean as it is dishwasher safe.
  • Versatile for freezing various food items beyond just water.

Cons

  • Small ice cubes may melt faster than larger cubes, potentially diluting drinks more quickly.
  • The sheer number of small cubes can be time-consuming to extract individually if only a few are needed.
  • Silicone trays can sometimes absorb odors if not cleaned thoroughly and stored properly.
  • May require a stable surface when filling due to the large number of small cells.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the ATEK Ice Cube Tray on a level surface in your freezer. Fill each of the 160 individual compartments with your desired liquid, ensuring not to overfill. Avoid placing the tray directly on a very cold freezer shelf initially, as it might be slightly stiffer until it reaches freezer temperature.

Compatibility: This tray is designed for use in standard home freezers. It is compatible with freezing water, juices, purees, and other non-corrosive liquids.

Care:

  1. After use, rinse the tray or place it in the top rack of your dishwasher.
  2. If washing by hand, use warm, soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge.
  3. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sharp objects that could damage the silicone surface.
  4. Ensure the tray is completely dry before storing to prevent any potential odor absorption.
