It’s been a while since I have written a post about my Stanley Cup. But I have been busy with the new Brigerton series and life basically.
I have never been a fan of very cold water. However, I am five months pregnant and am craving icy water.
The baby wants what it wants.
So my agenda for the week was to find the best Ice mold for my Stanley cups. I was looking for ones that leave space for the straw to fit perfectly in the cup.
And boy, did I find a lot. I have spent the past day reading reviews from Amazon to Walmart. It was overbearing.
Thankfully, I was able to find my five favorite Ice molds that I am going to share with you.
Tcamp Ice Cube Tray
This is my top pick and the tray I purchased.
These trays are fantastic for making large, slow-melting ice cubes that won’t clump together in your cup.
Each tray makes six giant cubes, perfect for keeping your drink cold without the hassle. The best part? The cubes are just the right size to avoid ice blocks.
The tray is of good quality and durable. It’s not difficult to remove the ice and the color matches the product picture.
I’m so happy I bought this! Now I can fill up my tumbler with more water and still enjoy a super cold drink.
Cfyosnk Store Ice Tray
Next, let’s talk about the Cfyosnk Store tray with Lids. These are perfect for anyone who likes a bit of versatility in their ice.
Each tray makes 3 ice molds, and the included lids mean you can stack them in the freezer without worrying about spills or weird freezer smells.
The cubes are a decent size – not too big, not too small – and they come out easily.
What I love about these trays is the ease of use. Just fill them up, snap on the lid, and you’re good to go. The ice cubes are uniform and don’t stick together, which means your straw can slide right in.
HAILI XMGQ Store Ice Tray
The Haili Xmgo Trays are another fantastic option.
The ice from this tray is just the perfect size and shape for tumbler cups. But it can only fit two ice pieces in the 30oz and three pieces in the 40oz.
It keeps drinks cold all day and I love that it doesn’t clump up at the bottom like regular ice. Getting the ice out of the molds is a bit tricky and time-consuming.
Also, putting it in the freezer without spilling can be a challenge, but once it’s in, it’s all good.
PKBD Stanley Cup Ice Mold
The PKBD ice tray was another product on my list. Using the tray is incredibly straightforward. Just pour water, cover it, and pop it into the freezer.
When it’s time for a drink, a simple twist releases the ice cubes. The included stainless steel tong makes transferring the ice cubes a breeze, fitting effortlessly into my 20, 30, or 40-ounce cups.
What I love most is the thickened, hollow cylindrical design, which keeps my drinks cooler for longer compared to regular ice cubes. It’s perfect for family gatherings, home bars, or even just lounging by the pool.
Marchoose Store Ice Tray
The set includes two pink and light green molds, each with a plastic tray and lid. These food-grade silicone molds come in three sizes, making it easy to create perfectly sized cylindrical ice for different cups.
These ice molds fit well in various tumblers, not just Stanley 40 oz ones. You can use them in smaller tumblers or other brands like Yeti by adjusting the water level. The ice lasts 6-8 hours, significantly longer than regular cubes, making them perfect for keeping drinks cold all day.
Besides making ice, the molds can also be used creatively for other purposes. They’re great for freezing flavored water or juice for a twist in your drinks or even making mini popsicles for a quick treat.
The only minor issue is the plastic tray lid, which becomes loose after freezing. Despite this, the molds are a great addition to my daily routine, keeping my drinks cold and refreshing.
Wrapping Up
Overall, these Stanley cup ice molds are a fantastic addition to any kitchen. They’re easy to use, versatile, and keep drinks cold for hours.
Despite the minor issue with the plastic tray lid, their durability and functionality make them a worthwhile purchase. Perfect for any tumbler, they will keep your beverages refreshingly cool all summer.
