89450 Joie No Spill Covered Ice Cube Tray with Lid, BPA-Free Plastic, 14-Cubes

I wish I could give this ten stars because it's simply the best covered ice tray on the market. Silicone models are flimsy, and the tops don't snap in place tightly. That means you have to be extra careful when moving them to the freezer, and you can't move them around until the cubes are frozen. This Jolie "no spill" ice tray is rigid instead of flimsy. The top snaps firmly into place, so you can toss it right into the freezer without being extra careful. Best of all, the snap top hole in the center allows you to fill the tray without opening the whole thing. There was only one tray available when I ordered, so here I am, coming back to order a few more trays. Seriously, get at least four of these things. Ice problems solved forever! In the last few years, I purchased three ice making machines. One broke in under two years. The second one malfunctioned right away, leaking a ton of water on my counter. Next, I tried to purchase a hand held ice wizard with a turn top and found that it leaked all over my counter. Hundreds of bad reviews from angry customers showed they had the same problem. I've been trying to solve my ice making problems ever since the ice maker on my fridge broke ten years ago. I've been almost a decade without a reliable ice making method that's better than standard trays. Don't spend a fortune on different ice making solutions. Get these snap top trays and settle the problem once and for all.

Easy to use, having a lid on them makes them stackable which saves space in an already over crowded freezer. Being that they have lids also means no more water drips across the floor. Love them. I haven't bought bagged ice since I got them. Very please with my purchase. If I had bigger freezer I would definitely get more.

Use it to make ice

I bought this for our granddaughter so she can make babyhood for her son. I wish I had had one of these back in the 70's when I was making baby food for my own children. It's easy to use and makes life simpler. I would recommend this as a gift, along with a baby food grinder and some bibs for a new mom.

I really like the lid on the tray to keep the water from spilling everywhere, but the tray itself is really stiff and barely bends making it difficult to pop the ice out.

I like this as it has a cover and seems more sanitary than just leaving an open tray in the freezer. I have had no issues with the tray breaking or cracking.

Remember those ice trays your mother had growing up - they'd last forever. This tray, however, is not that product. We've gone through two of these in less than six months each. Their lid starts cracking before the tray, but the tray is simply is not made from flexible enough plastic to withstand the little bit of twisting required to get the cubes out. And don't wack it on a hard surface - that eventually fracture the bottoms.

The ones I received are not actually Joie brand. For them to be real, they should have Joie onnthe flap on the lid. They also should have thicker plastic on the handles.I know this because I had one come in my Taste of Home Box.
