Clear Ice Maker Set, Crystal Ball & Cube Molds for Whiskey Cocktails

I love my new ice sphere maker! It makes perfect, clear spheres that last way longer than regular ice cubes. They look classy, too! The spheres are easy to make, but getting the silicon mold out takes a little patience. It needs to be worked up on each side until maybe 1/2" has been exposed, then it can usually be pulled straight up. To make the spheres, simply fill the container with water until it reaches the bottom of a vertical marker on one of the 4 sides of the container. THIS IS IMPORTANT! Next, just fit the three mold pieces together and very slowly push the mold down into the container. As you get closer to the bottom, alternate pushing from one end to the other, doing it just a little bit each time, until the mold is fully seated. You will see a bit of water come up into the 4 holes on the top, and maybe a little water will flow into the grooves on top. That means it is filled correctly. I use water that runs through my fridge filter rather than tap water, just because it filters out chlorine and other contaminants. Here's an important note: You DO NOT WANT TO LEAVE THE CONTAINER IN THE FREEZER TOO LONG BEFORE HARVESTING THE SPHERES! My spheres take about 30 hours to freeze completely with my freezer at just below 0 degrees. I got busy with life and left the container in the freezer for an additional 2 days, and then the bottom part (shown the photo) became completely frozen. If you time it right, only the top surface of the bottom part will be frozen and just running a little warm water will allow you to break through it and pull the ice chunks out (in the picture, it is only partially frozen on top). If you wait too long, that block will be completely frozen (about 3" thick), and if you want to make more ice balls right away, you will waste a lot of water trying to thaw out the bottom ice block. It will not come out easily if frozen down to the bottom. Cleaning the mold is easy, I just rub it under warm water to get any film off. You can knock off the two nubs on the spheres with a butter knife, but I never bother. I highly recommend getting the quad sphere maker, because it's a lot of trouble to make just two. I keep making them and then store them in zip-loc bags in the freezer. If making them on work days, I recommend prepping the container in the evening, putting it in the freezer the next morning, and then harvesting them the day after when you get home from work. Repeat this cycle as needed, and enjoy your favorite whiskey on the rock!

There is a local distillery in my hometown that makes an awesome Old Fashioned. The drink is "enhanced" with the perfect, round and clear ice ball. I asked the owner how they made these and he turned me on to Glacio. I bought the 4 ball version. It is easy to use and produces PERFECT round clear ice for the special touch when serving fine scotch or whiskey in a glass. I read a review that complained there is no "fill line" in the tank. Not correct. There is a vertical slot near the top of the unit that defines the precise level when adding water. Fill the tank to the bottom of that mark, and you're done. One reviewer stated there were no instructions. Also incorrect. The box has the basic instructions on the side in clear detail. The seller even sent me a follow-up message via Amazon to share tips on best practices using their unit. I've messed around with making clear ice using a small cooler and then cutting my own big cubes from the ice block. That method works and is "free," but it sorta sucks doing so and is messy. Using the Glacio Quad is a snap. No mess. Beautiful end product. Easy as can be. Need I say more? I'll offer up a few negatives for consideration. One is the freezer space required. I have plenty, so this is a non issue for me, but it might be a problem for those with limited freezer space. Of note, this unit is smaller than the cooler I was using for block ice so I am thrilled with that aspect. Another negative is the time it takes to create the ice balls (24 - 36 hours). This is no different than the ice block cooler method, but the yield of cubes from the cooler is much more than 4 balls at a time. That said, it is a mindless task to cycle through the process, and one can store up balls during the week if planning a big weekend sharing these "cool" ice balls with friends. I bought two more as gifts. I really like this product!

quality product. works like it should. easy to clean and easy to use. makes 4 iceballs a time

First set of four came out perfect. The mold is well made, the removal of Ice when frozen was not hard at all. We are pleased with the purchase. Only drawback, takes 48 hours each set. Very pleased with purchase. Used filtered water from fridge.

Nice construction, easy to use and the ice ball is almost perfectly clear. Considering it takes a $2000 ice ball maker to make perfectly clear ice….this one meets the mark for a home bar.

I purchased the two-ball and two-cube molds a couple years back and absolutely love them! When I saw the 4-ball mold I HAD to get it! It really nice making four at a time taking up less space in the freezer than two individual 2-ball molds. The only drawback I’ve had so far is that the 4-ball mold is a bit difficult to remove one the balls are frozen. Overall though, it’s still a great product.

Poco fscil de sacar los hielos

This brand has great quality. I purchase all my ice molds from them and I’m on my third purchase. I’ve had my first ones for over a year. This particular ice mold makes such clear ice. Perfect and so easy to make. The best part is that’s it’s not difficult to take the ice mold out. Thank you!
