An ice cube tray is a simple device, which means the best ice cube trays are the ones you don’t have to think about — at all — because you're not worrying about whether they’re easy to fill, if they might get knocked over, or how to pop out the cubes without feeling like a wrestler. Essentially, a good ice cube tray lets you chill and get on with your fine life.

• Pros: The rubbery material is flexible, and once the cubes have formed, it's super easy to pop the ice out.
• Cons:Silicone ice cube trays can absorb odors, although there are pretty easy solutions to banish unwanted smells.Silicone's inherently 'sticky' nature can hold onto residue, which might require more regular cleaning. That said, it is dishwasher safe.

Plastic

• Pros: The lightweight, budget-friendly material is simple to care for since it's generally dishwasher safe.
• Cons: It's another material that can absorb unwanted smells, and it's probably the worst offender when it comes to being hard to get ice out of. Plus, you want to shop carefully to make sure your plastic ice tray is BPA-free.

Stainless Steel

• Pros:Stainless steel doesn’t absorb scents (and therefor flavors) like silicone or plastic, plus it's naturally BPA-free.
• Cons: It's more expensive, heavier, and the ice can be hard to remove if the tray doesn't come with a lever.

Product reviewed: GoodCook Prep & Freeze Ice Cube Trays

Silicone ice cube trays are a type of kitchen gadget you don’t realize is important until you run out of ice or accidentally crack a plastic tray while struggling to release a single cube.

I wasn’t even aware that my ice cube trays were “old school” until I was introduced to a set of GoodCook Prep & Freeze Ice Cube Trays.

These ice cube trays are silicone-based, making them flexible and easy to twist. You can easily release all the cubes at once with a single twist of the tray or just conveniently slide out a single cube. Every time I went to release an ice cube, I was amazed at how easily it slid out. It was so simple.

Each tray comes with a lid, which is convenient for two main reasons — one, it eliminates freezer burn on top of your cubes and, more importantly, it allows the trays to be stackable. This was a big selling point for me since freezer space is a hot commodity in my house.

Each cube in the tray measures two ounces, which makes them handy to use for things other than just ice. You can freeze broth to use later in soups or even freeze homemade baby food.

I will say that these ice cubes won’t fit into all glasses. The two-ounce ice cube was too wide to fit into the opening on my tall, skinny highball glasses. However, I loved using them in pitchers of water after I had made some ice cubes with chopped lemons and strawberries.
