When I make ice cubes in a icecube tray, they often come out broken and not as one cube.How do i fix this?

Answer 1

Run the bottom of the ice cube tray under hot water so the ice loosen at the bottom and sides, then the ice cubes come out good every time!

Answer 2

I used to have an ice maker...oh well! I like a lot if ice in my drinks (gingerale, juices, ice tea, etc.) & I just want to kill when someone cracks a few pieces & leaves it at that! I have cheap plastic trays..no matter....I take them from the freezer & let them sit on the counter for maybe 10 mins......theyll be loose enough to fall out easily. I keep a giant bowl of ice in my freezer & make sure it never goes empty....thus no frustration about who used the ice & put back the empty trays & the trays always slide out easily.

Answer 3

Put hot water in the ice cube tray, then freeze it.

Additional: If the water is hot then they'll pull away from the sides of the cube of the tray a little when freezing, and they'll freeze more solidly.

Answer 4

Dont fill the tray all the way up.Also let sit for just a little after you take out of freezer before you get cubes out.

Answer 5

its not ur trays, unless they are the metal ones, U use hot water instead of cold water. It makes the ice more solid as its molded in the tray with the cold, try it, it really does wok.

Answer 6

It is probably the ice cub tray. Get a new one

Answer 7

when you get them out of the freezer, put a little bit of cold water on them like if you were rinsing them from both sides of the tray

Answer 8

Are you using metal trays or plastic? It makes a difference.

Answer 9

Try getting a new ice tray.If that does not work than maybe you should buy a ice bag or get a fridge with a ice maker.

Answer 10

Well often the temperature of the freezer can make this happen, usually too cold.
