GLAZER mini | Nimm ICE einfach!

Clear ice and awesome results

I wasn��t sure how well a small clear ice mould would work, but this one has been brilliant. It��s simple to use fill the top section, pop it in the freezer and leave it overnight. The insulation does its job and forces the ice to freeze from the top down, so you get a proper clear cube instead of the cloudy ones you get from normal trays.

The cubes come out solid, slow melting and a really nice size for whisky or cocktails. They look great in the glass and definitely make a drink feel a bit more special. The silicone is flexible enough that the ice pops out easily without cracking.

It doesn��t take up much freezer space, and the build quality feels good. I��ve used it several times now and the results have been consistently clear.

Bedtime finally landed, the kids were asleep and the washing up could wait, so I treated myself to a quiet pour of Highland Park and tried my new Glazer mini.

Filling the silicone top took all of twenty seconds, I used the kettle water from earlier, clicked the mould into its chunky stainless body and slid it onto the freezer shelf beside the fish fingers. Next evening I popped the lid and out rolled a crystal clear 2.56 inch sphere that looked like it belonged in a fancy city bar rather than my terraced kitchen, my nine year old would probably try to play marbles with it if she saw.

And it melts at a snail��s pace, so the second half of the dram tasted the same as the first, no sad watery finish. But the real joy is how easily the sphere releases, a gentle squeeze, no wrestling, no cracks. Cleaning? Rinse, done. I��m grinning every Friday night now.

I assumed crystal clear 20 sided ice was only for fancy bars, turns out it just needed the Glazer mini. Pop it in, head to bed, wake up to frozen perfection.

Saturday game night, the 9 year old tracked initiative while I poured an Islay. I slid the stainless sleeve off, peeled the silicone, boom, flawless D20. He rolled it first obviously then we parked it in my glass, one chunk about cue ball size that survived the whole three hour session.

The mould measures 3.46 by 6.10 inches so even our packed freezer finds space. And the two piece liner stops leaks. Use boiled tap water you��ll get that brilliant clarity, I��ve run five batches and none came out cloudy.

But the best bit, watching friends squint at their drink trying to count the numbers before it slowly fades away. Party trick sorted.

Friday night whisky looked almost too posh once I dropped in the ice diamond from the Glazer mini. Totally clear and big enough to bully the lemon slice aside. Works a treat in iced coffee too.

The mould is a silicone crown on a stainless cup, fill the liner with boiled tap water and shove it in the freezer. And yes, the top down freeze trick works, the 2.56 by 2.21 inch chunk emerges clear as a window. One push on the base, cube slides out, no wrestling. My 8 year old tried it in her cola, still flawless. It barely shrank through a whole Bake Off episode while I unwound from a twelve hour shift.

Cleaning takes ten seconds under the tap, no lingering freezer smells. And husband reckons I've become fancy, I reckon I've just found a cooler way to cool things for summer evenings in the garden.

I never thought I'd care this much about frozen water. But the Glazer mini tray has become the unlikely hero of my evening tipple.

Saturday night, chess set folded away, kids finally out cold, I poured a dram of Talisker and released one of these 2.25 inch cubes. The stainless steel sleeve had kept everything straight so the block slid out spotless, no wrestling required, and the whisky swirled round it looking like a little amber aquarium.

And because the cube freezes top down using that plastic liner and silicone cap, it stays clear, slow melting for over an hour while I debated stats with my wife. I used boiled tap water and got zero clouding.

So, small 3.5 by 6 inch footprint, rinses clean, and cat hair hasn't stuck yet which in our house is the real benchmark. I'm sticking with it.

Easy and quick way to make ice for my whiskey.

Own a number of ice molds and have tried a lot of different approaches to getting a decent ice ball for bourbon. This one is the easiest I've ever used by a significant margin. Fill the plastic cup with filtered water, drop the silicone mold in, slide the whole thing into the stainless steel sleeve, and put it in the freezer. That's it. About twenty hours later you've got a beautifully clear sphere that comes out cleanly without any wrestling or melting drama. Simple enough that there's really nothing to get wrong. And its compact size means it takes up less space than most in the freezer.

The ice quality is fantastic. Clear, slow melting, and the right size for a lowball glass without floating around awkwardly. Good enough that I'm already planning to order a few of the other shapes they offer. That said, there's one thing worth knowing before you buy. The plastic cup that holds the water is roughly the thickness of a disposable drinking cup, and it's not going to survive indefinitely. You get two in the kit, but eventually you'll need replacements. They're not sold on Amazon, only through the manufacturer's website at just under two bucks each. Not expensive, but you are committing to their ecosystem for consumables. Worth knowing going in, and in my opinion still worth it.

This is my first time having an ice mold like this. The ice ball is pretty thick and is nice and clear. The silicone mold is pretty thick and strong. No risk if damaging it cracking the ice off. I didn't have any leaks, but it works be nice to have a water level mark on the cups. You just have to guess and top it off if shy or pour off excess. Not a big deal but would be convenient. It does take a long time. I checked it at about 20 hours and it had liquid in the cup still. I didn't check again before bed so it may have been done, but I didn't check. So I checked it today after work and it was done. At thirty dollars it's fair priced given its construction and end product , but it is a bit of a novelty as you don't super need the ice like this. I will probably put a small Tupperware in the freezer to start collecting them for when I have company as it takes so long to make them.

This is a really cool tool for making clear ice at home, especially if you enjoy a glass of whiskey with friends. It uses a specific mold form to create that high-end look you usually only see in upscale bars. It is definitely a great "showoff" piece for when you're hosting, as the presentation of a perfectly formed cube makes a big difference.

One thing I quickly learned is that it is very important to follow the instructions exactly to get the best results. I skipped a few steps on my first try, and the cube didn't come out perfectly clear. However, once you get the process down, the results are much better. It takes a little more patience than a standard ice tray, but for a nice drink, the effort is worth it. It's a solid addition to any home bar setup.

Excellent and beautiful makes my ice. This transparent love mold base is great for my drinks. I am extremely fascinated and excited with great made very good product, good article and a wonderful finish. A great design.

This sphere ice mold is very easy to use. The outer sleeve is made of aluminum that makes it look very high quality design. This aluminum sleeve also help to retain the temperature when removed from the freezer. The included cups make it easier to have water slowly inject water into the mold. It's very easy to remove the ice mold from the cup once ice ball is frozen.

The ice ball will remain a perfect sphere shape as it's promoted; however, there are still some bubbles inside.

Pricing wise it's very reasonable based on the quality of product received.

Am quite impressed of how this mini ice cube workes incredible well for its size and the shape is so stylish. The best part is the ice melts very slow making it perfect for cocktails and drinksIts very easy to use and easy to refill and refreeze. The fact that its silicone makes is extremely easy to be removed. Great value for your money.

The ice came out so cute and super clear I was so happy.

Love it, the quality of the mold is amazing and durable,makes perfect sized diamonds for the cup easy steps to achieve high quality highly recommend as a gift for that special someone

This GLAZER mini ice mold is absolutely incredible. It makes perfectly round, clear ice spheres that look like they came from a high-end bar. It's very easy to use and the ice melts super slowly, so it doesn't water down our drinks. My husband and I love using this for our evening whiskey to relax after our toddler goes to sleep. Highly recommend it!

If you like a classy ice block that is easy to release intact, then these are for you. The ice is clear and the designs are unique. Impress your friends the next time you pour them an Old Fashion or Smoked Bourbon.

Takes about 20-24 hours. Comes out clear. The haze on the outside goes away as soon as you drop it in. Used regular tap water.

Who wants to roll the die, take a chance, and drink with me?

Great ice maker love the fact that the ice is clear when use.easy to use and would be a perfect gift.
