The Best Ice Cube Trays of 2024

The W&P Peak Silicone Everyday Ice Tray with Protective Lid has everything you’d want in an ice tray. The food-grade premium silicone material is BPA-free. (BPA stands for bisphenol A, a chemical that can seep into food and drink items and potentially cause health problems.)

The internal metal frame is sturdy, and makes it easy to both fill the tray and transport it without the water spilling out. And since each piece of cube-shaped ice is molded individually, you can easily pop out only one or two at a time, if you don’t want to empty the entire tray.

In addition, the silicone ice cube tray has a lid, so it won’t absorb the various flavors and odors from the other items in your freezer. The dishwasher-safe tray, which holds 12 1.2-inch cubes, is stackable, and comes in five colors choices: peak blue, charcoal, speckled pink, speckled white, and white.

The clever design of the Lekue Ice Box includes a container with a lid. However, when flipped over, the silicone lid also serves as an ice tray. So you can make ice cubes and then transfer them to the container, which can hold up to 132 cubes, which is the equivalent of four trays.

The lid also has various molds, which produces ice in several individual shapes. The lid is flexible enough to remove all of the ice at the same time, or the cubes can be removed individually. And the lid also keeps other freezer flavors and odors out.

The dishwasher-safe ice box is also practical. It’s both functional and attractive enough to set on the table and serve ice out of, eliminating the need for an ice bucket. Color choices include white, black, and red.

If you have a tendency to spill water, the OXO Good Grips No-Spill Ice Cube Tray can help with that issue. After placing the lid on the tray, it can be smoothed to get all of the excess water out.

And then the lid is watertight, which allows you to store it at an angle without worrying that water will seep out. This makes it convenient for storage in a crowded freezer, where there may not be room to store it flat. The sealed lid also keeps flavors and odors out, and the dishwasher-safe tray is stackable.

This Doqaus 4-Pack Ice Cube Tray is a great value when you want several stackable ice cube trays. Made of polypropylene plastic, silicone, and rubber, these trays are BPA-free.

The removable lid is spill resistant to avoid leaks, and it is also easy to open. In addition, the ice cubes can be easily ejected by pushing the bottom of the tray. To save space, the trays are stackable, and they’re also dishwasher safe.

For mini-sized ice cubes, the Arrow 3-Pack Small Ice Cube Tray can make 60 mini cubes per tray, for 180 total cubes. The smaller, narrower size makes them easier to fit in water bottles and for use in cocktails and ice coffee beverages.

These hard-plastic ice cube trays are food-safe, BPA-free, and designed with durability in mind. Typically, it only requires one twist to pop the ice cubes out, making them easy to use. The trays are also dishwasher safe, and they’re stackable to save space.

You may want to step up your ice cube game with an upgrade like the W&P Crystal Ice Tray. It makes four two-inch crystal-inspired ice cubes that look like works of art.

The large, intricately designed ice cubes also melt slowly, so they don’t dilute drinks quickly. This makes them a good choice for whiskey and cocktails—though slow-melting ice cubes are ideal for dressing up any type of beverage, which is particularly impressive when entertaining.

There’s also a protective lid, which keeps freezer odors and unwanted flavors from getting into the ice. The food-grade silicone tray is BPA-free as well as dishwasher safe. Color choices include charcoal, peak blue, speckled pink, speckled white, and white.
