A dual-chamber design featuring a silicone outer chamber that freezes the ice and an inner plastic cylinder that holds it. It is often marketed as being able to replace up to 10 traditional ice trays.
- Key Features:
- Space-Saving Design: Its vertical cylindrical shape takes up minimal freezer shelf space compared to flat trays.
- Air-Tight Lid: Comes with a lid to keep cubes fresh and prevent them from absorbing "freezer odours."
- Easy Release: The flexible silicone outer wall allows you to "squeeze" the bucket to pop the ice cubes into the inner chamber instantly.
- Dual Function: Once the ice is made, the inner chamber acts as an ice bucket to keep bottles chilled or serve ice at the table.
- Dishwasher Safe: Usually made from BPA-free, food-grade silicone that is easy to clean.
