Ice cubes trays like they were meant to be
You are me before I bought these ice cube trays. You are reading this because you have crappy ice cube trays in your freezer and you're SICK of the ridiculous amount of twisting, bashing, and cursing required to get the dang ice out of the stupid trays. You know there's a better way and you don't have to be frustrated and waste your time on ice cubes. Ice cubes should be EASY. Like REALLY easy.
Every time I've used these trays when I turn them over, at least one or two cubes just fall out before I even twist. The rest ALL pop out with a light twist. Every last one. Not 2 or 3 or 7 of them stuck in there while you bash the tray on the sink. Every last one. Just like you want them to do on those crappy trays you have in your freezer, waiting to irritate you once more. I suggest you do what I did. Throw your trays out right now, unremovable ice and all. I'll wait while you do so. Done? Good. Now order these and go buy some ice cubes in a bag at the store. They'll last until you get these trays.
Then you'll be making ice the easy way. Like it should be. You're welcome :-)
Edit Feb 2, 2015-
Someone who shall remain unnamed in my house tends to overfill the ice cube trays. Don't do this. Even these awesome trays are harder to remove the ice if there's enough water that it forms one continuous piece of ice. Fill them under the faucet while tilted so the water flows to the unfilled cubes and stop before there's too much water. Less is more when making ice :-) Also, for whatever reason, they pop out best when they're not stacked. If your freezer looks like you shove things in hard and slam the door, then you probably only have room to stack the trays like me. But if you have more control of your freezer impulses then lay the trays next to each other. All cubes still come out with one twist either way, but when they're stacked it seems like a little bit of the bottom of some cubes on the bottom tray sticks in the tray.
Still, I'd absolutely buy these trays again. They're a year and a half old and aren't showing any cracks or other indications of wear. Of course, you only have to twist them once, so that helps. That and the lack of bashing them on the sink over and over probably doesn't hurt either with the whole lifespan thing.
