UPDATE: bad smell! Works great, but hard to fill up, hard to take the ice out
After using the silicone tray for a while,it started to give a VERY bad smell/taste to the ice. The tray itself smells like chemicals/rubber very bad. I put it through the dishwasher many times, it's not that. I am treating it as a HEALTH HAZARD because the smell transfers to the ice.
In the video I will be looking at how easy this tray is to empty of ice and refill with water.
First, I'm taking ice out of the silicone tray and compare it with a normal plastic tray. The silicone tray is harder to empty.
Next, I'm refilling the trays with water, and conclude that the silicone tray is more trouble to fill up.
Conclusion: Although silicone poses no health risks associated with freezing plastics, this tray is a pain to empty and refill. If you have to do this often or have kids with small hands, you may want to look for other options.
Thanks!
