Could I make ice cubes with this tray?

I wouldn't see why not. So long as you keep it level when placing it in the freezer.

I have never tried, only used this with melted chocolate...it is a medium sturdy plastic so I think you maybe able to do it but keep in mind your ice cube will be a half mold of the figure. sorry not a huge help.

Yes just regular ice cubes work great! The opening is too small for ice blocks actually. The machine works great for the low price!

Yes it takes any kind of ice, if it is to large of a piece, which has to be pretty large just break ice into pieces. I use store boughten ice but it will take ice trays and or ice from an ice maker just fine.

You will easily be able to add ice cubes. Although the plastic top cannot be removed, it flips back, exposing almost the entire top. And the tube that pumps water from the bottom of the pot is fully removable.

That would help a lot, though it would be tricky to do unless your freezer is largely empty. You need a flat surface for them to sit on, if the "cube" sections fall into the grating in the freezer they tend to tilt and the water drains out. I have some other long cube trays that I no longer use that are pretty much perfect for supporting / transporting these trays from the counter where I fill them to the freezer, but there's still a significant spillage risk.

Standard rectangle ice cubes are too big. They MIGHT be able to fit the half circle/crescent shaped ice cubes but I've never tried.

Start with very hot water. This slows the freezing processes and has the side effect of producing very clear ice. The hotter the better, but not so hot you melt your trays.

Of course u can put ice cubes in it. but I don't thing it is a good container for ice cubes. Actually it is a good mug to keep liquids!

Yes, just like refrigerator maker. The ice cubes are seperated and not melted together.

Yes. You can also use re-usable gel filled ice cubes in the trays instead of ice--which does melt.

You could, but of course the ice would melt and your items would get wet. I recommend the slim, flat, square ice packs. Two fit in the bottom, then you can put more in-between things. Or try the flexible ice packs, or a combination of the two types.

I haven't tried it but think it's much easier with the lids. I like the shape of the cubes - looks like they came from a machine. Best cube trays I've ever had.

BPA is released from a product when the product becomes hot. This should not be an issue with an ice cube tray.

Probably, but a blender would be a better way to go on for ice. This is more for dry food and sauces.

Yes, very easily. We fill ours with ice cubes then add water. It works very well.

It works on frozen fruit, so I suspect it will do okay with ice cubes -- if you take certain precautions. The motor is not as strong as a regular blender. You might have to "bounce" the hand blender a bit and make sure to have enough liquid in your container to help move things around. Otherwise the blade simply gets blocked and the blender gets hot.

I have found that no matter what purees I've put in this tray to freeze, if I run hot water over them for 30 seconds or sometimes more, or just set them out for a little while, the cubes come out easily. With this tray you don't twist, you just use your finger to push the cubes out. I love it!
