Wintersmiths Ice Baller Double - Crystal-Clear Ice Ball Mold

This has got to be the absolute best ice ball maker, for the price, on the market! I had PERFECT results the 1st time! All you need to do is FOLLOW the directions! 1. Wash all the parts in warm soapy water before use 2. Using hot tap water, fill the reservoir to the fill mark 3. Ensure your freezer is at LEAST ZERO degrees F!!! 4. Place the entire assembly in the freezer for 24 hours! Exceeding 30 hours will CRACK the plastic liner 5. After 24 hours, remove from freezer and pull up on the tabs, one at a time, to remove the ice balls 6. If not completely frozen, the ice balls and not the remaining water at the bottom of the reservoir, place back in fridge for a couple of hours 7. once removed from the mold, store ice balls in a zip-lock bag in your freezer 8. using warm water, melt the ice which remains in the reservoir and star all over to make more ice balls The ice will come out perfect! You can use bottled water, however, ensure you WARM up the water before use. Do NOT boil the water, heat only to the same temperature of your tap water, use a thermometer if necessary! You can spend more money and of course you can spend less, however, this product is the best value for outstanding results EVERY TIME!

Does exactly what it says it does. Makes 2 perfectly clear ice balls each time (about every 24 hours). Very easy to use and yes, the mold does create a “knob” on the ball but I just wack it off with a spoon. Buy it and enjoy your drinks in style!

Creates 95% clear ice, i am happy with the clear ice. Just be aware that the mould leave the 'nob' on each side and a ridge/edge around where the mould meet. With a little effort it can all be stripped off with a knife pretty quickly so I'm OK with it.

This thing works IMMACULATELY. I was looking at buying a separate freezer to put a cooler into it so I could make clear ice but of course that was prohibitively expensive. This thing works like a mini-cooler that fits easily into a normal freezer. It has a separate space below the sphere molds for the bubbles to move to as the ice freezes so it actually does produce almost perfectly clear ice spheres. (watch a video on youtube to see how/why clear ice is made if that doesn't make sense) Make sure you wash it between each freeze though because sometimes stuff on the mold will leave little imperfections on the ice when you first pull it out. Only downside I see is that if you leave it in the freezer too long the entirety of the water freezes, so after popping the balls out, you've gotta run hot water over the icey bottom chunk to get it out to then refill it for the next freeze. Otherwise it can take a couple days to just melt sitting on a counter. but it's only a mild inconvenience. But general summary: this thing is amazing, I'll be getting another one so I can always have plenty of ice for my adult beverages from Scotland.

Easy to use and makes perfectly clear ice balls from tap water.
