Ice balls are great because they take longer to melt. I bought a different ice ball maker that didn't work because as the water froze the mold came apart and I had to use rubber bands to hold it together and still had problems. So I purchased these ice ball makers and I am very happy with my purchase. These silicone molds work great compared to the 4 balls in one mold I was unhappy with. I did still have problems in the beginning but soon learned how to fill and empty these silicone molds.What was my problem and how did I fix it?My first attempts at using these silicone ice makers I had half balls. I thought the mold was full of water but after a day the mold was only half full. So I fill the mold now slowly and when the water comes to the top I I push on the side a little to pop out the air bubbles, i guess you could say I burp them. But the good news is they are full and round every time.Another problem I have is that the top comes off pretty easy but the bottom is hard for me to get off, but I think it's because of me and not the product. A 24 year old who comes to help me once a week was able to pop off top and bottom with no problem. So with a very short learning curve these are GREAT!!!
