Large Ice Block Molds - Set of 3

Got a big cooler or an ice bath? This is a great set to make 3 of the 4 pound ice blocks.Why is it better?1) It is small enough to fit in most freezers with ease.2) It is thick enough to hold its shape.3) It has a lid so you don't pour a ton of water into your freezer creating a mountain of hassle trying to clean that out.Pro Tip: Put a little silicone on the connection tabs so they come apart more easily and be gentle. Frozen rubber is more brittle and if you break the tabs it won't connect as well. If you are careful these should last a long time and make tons of ice.It is a great product packaged attractively. There are many uses for blocks of ice this will save lots of money over store bought ice blocks.

If you have an ice plunge and chickens these forms are for you! I filled them with water to see if they held their shape and Henrietta & Gertrude came to judge. As you can see they instantly thought they had a new water trough just their size. These are very sturdy and keep their shape. The lids fit securely and make it easy to stack in the freezer. When stacking them to freeze I find it better to stack crosswise over the bottom mold to keep the lid tight. If you are using it for a cold plunge you will need more than 3 to lower temp enough. Human and chicken are recommended. 🐔

These were selected for their use to make ice blocks for camping and not for ice baths. These are purpose built for making ice blocks, so they do a much better job than the silicone bread loaf pans used previously. The sides have ribs to make them more ridged, a fill line, and top lid. All of these elements greatly reduced the spillage on the way to freezer that was annoying about this task previously. It’s easy to remove the ice block if you take it out of the freezer and let it sit on the counter for a couple minutes. They are stackable with the lids, which is nice.I was planning on using it for storing homemade ice cream in the freezer as well, but the lid doesn’t seal like tupperware and air definitely gets in. I might be able to put it in a ziplock inside the ice block maker and it would help protect it more from freezerburn.It may not be worth it if it’s only something you need to make once or twice a year, especially at the price, but if it’s something you need to do regularly, they are definitely worth it!*Note*Vine reviewers are invited to select products on offer which Amazon then sends for free.

Ordered these for my cold plunge that didn't come with ice blocks and these worked great!

Last year, I started doing a daily cold plunge, using a stock tank that sits on our back patio. It can be a struggle to keep the temperature down close to freezing even during the colder parts of the year. And buying ice can get expensive in a hurry. I've tried other ice molds and ice cube trays, but these are larger and better than anything else I've tried.They're large and sturdy, and the tapered sides make it very easy to release the plug of ice. In my experience, they take about 24 hours in the freezer to freeze solid.
