OXO Good Grips Ice Cube Tray Review
OXO Good Grips Ice Cube Tray Feature
- Lidded ice cube tray with ergonomic grips
- Easy cube-release system works every time
- Cover reduces odor for fresher ice cubes
- Stackable design
- Cleans with warm soap and water
No more ice cubes slithering across your counter or floor and no more sloshing a just-filled ice cube tray on your way to the fridge--Oxo has come to the rescue with this nifty, easy-release tray with a sliding lid. Just fill the tray with water, slide the lid on, and slip the tray into the freezer. The lid design allows you to stack more trays or other items on top: a great space-saving feature. To dispense the ice cubes, slide the lid in either direction until the desired number of cubes are exposed, then flip the tray over to release the cubes. The clever lid design lets you release a single cube or a dozen, and both tray and lid have a solid feel, with just the right amount of give. Sliding the lid on a just-filled tray, however, takes a little practice (the lid sticks a bit), but placing the tray on a firm surface and sliding evenly and firmly should do the trick.

Innovative and ever finding of solutions, OXO impresses again with their Good Grips ice cube tray. Like other trays, you need simply fill it with water and freeze to make ice. However, what really sets this tray apart from its peers is the cover tray; not only does it guard the ice cubes from resists odors, but you can partially slide it off to choose the number of cubes you want. Once you have made you selection, turn the tray over to dump the cubes out. This system allows you, guests, family, and friends to quickly remove the desired amount of ice. It is recommended you close the tray before freezing on the counter top, for stability and to help avoid spills.
OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.
