Built with a stainless steel wire rim embedded in the upper edge, these trays resist warping during transport and stacking — a common failure point in all-silicone designs. The 1.9-inch square cavities produce slow-melting cubes that chill whiskey or cocktails without rapid dilution, and the independent compartments release each cube individually when you push from below.

The food-grade silicone is BPA-free and odorless out of the box, and the removable silicone lids snap on securely enough to prevent freezer aroma infiltration. Three trays (blue, green, yellow) fill 45 total cubes, making them a solid match for parties, home bars, or batch espresso shot freezing. Dishwasher-safe construction simplifies cleanup after sticky juice or coffee runs.

One trade-off: the flexible lid material can deform slightly if overfilled with water, so leaving a small air gap helps maintain a flush seal. The wire rim adds rigidity but means the tray cannot be folded flat for tight freezer nooks.

Designed around a hybrid structure — a rigid BPA-free plastic frame paired with a LFGB-grade silicone bottom — this tray solves the floppy-silicone problem for liquid-heavy foods. The hard rim holds its shape when filled with warm broth or chili, and the soft silicone base pushes up to release frozen blocks in one piece. Six 1-cup cavities portion a full batch of soup or stock without surplus plastic containers.

Each 10.35-inch tray stacks neatly with others, and the silicone lid seals firmly enough to prevent drip leaks during horizontal storage. Users report easy release for everything from chicken stock to mashed sweet potatoes, and the tray is dishwasher and microwave safe for defrost and cleaning cycles. The one-cup format is especially useful for singles or small households aiming to reduce food waste.

The main limitation is the single-tray package — serious meal preppers may want two or three units to freeze an entire soup batch at once. Hand washing is recommended by the manufacturer to preserve the silicone bottom’s texture over the long term.

At 2 inches square and 3.4 ounces per cube, these are the largest discrete ice molds in this lineup. The thick silicone walls are stiff enough that the tray holds its shape when filled, yet flexible enough to pop eight cubes free with a single push from the bottom. The included plastic lids are dust covers rather than leak-proof seals, but they slide on securely enough to prevent odor absorption during storage.

These oversized cubes are a strong fit for iced coffee enthusiasts, water bottles, or bourbon drinkers who want maximum chilling with minimum melt-water dilution. The BPA-free food-grade silicone resists staining, and the tray measures 8.4 inches long — compact enough for crowded freezers. Users note that freezing sports drinks or tea works just as well as water, and the cubes release cleanly from the independent cavities.

Aminor inconsistency: the gray and black versions of the tray reportedly differ slightly in internal cavity dimensions, so buyers should verify which color they receive if uniform cube size matters. The lids also require a side-slide installation rather than a snap-fit, which takes a moment to get used to.

Each 12-inch tray holds six 1-cup portions, and the two-pack provides twelve total servings — enough to freeze an entire pot of soup or chili in one go. The food-grade silicone is BPA-free and odorless, and the soft lid fits over a raised rim to create a spill-resistant seal. Users report that overfilling each cavity slightly makes frozen blocks easier to extract by stretching the silicone walls.

The rectangular boxy profile stacks efficiently in small freezers, and the lack of a rigid frame means the tray can be folded or rolled for storage when empty. It handles sauces, broths, purees, and leftovers without staining, and cleanup is straightforward in the dishwasher. Price-wise, it lands at roughly half the cost of the Souper Cubes brand while delivering comparable per-portation performance.

Because the body is fully flexible, filling the tray with hot liquid requires care to avoid sloshing before the tray is level on a flat freezer shelf. Some users prefer to let soup cool before pouring to minimize flexing during transport.

This three-pack delivers the highest cube count per dollar: 45 total 1.2-inch cubes across three color-coded trays (blue, green, pink). The food-grade silicone is BPA-free and dishwasher safe, and the flexible independent cavities release cubes with a simple twist or bottom push. The lids snap on with moderate pressure and help stack trays without water sloshing during freezer loading.

The compact 7.4-inch length fits small freezers, RV fridges, and crowded ice compartments. Cubes are standard-sized but freeze faster than larger molds, making this set suitable for high-turnover households that go through ice quickly. Users also repurpose the trays for freezing baby food portions, chocolate molds, and even homemade candy.

Some users report that the lids can pop off during freezing if the trays are overfilled or jostled before the water freezes. The silicone is slightly thinner than premium competitors, which may shorten the lifespan under heavy daily use, but the low price per tray makes replacement painless.
