The Avanti King Ice Cube Trays are made from food grade silicone, and each tray makes six jumbo ice cubes 5cm square in size. This equates to approx 125ml or half a cup per portion. The silicone doesn't hold odors (and if it does when you have placed items with garlic etc in them then you can soak in some white vinegar overnight) and the trays can be hand washed or placed on the top shelf of the dishwasher.

What do our customers use the jumbo ice cube trays for?

I bought this to use for making mini raw cheesecakes. They are the perfect size for individual portions and they come out really easily, plus it doesn't take up much room in the fridge.
Customer Testimonial

I had been thinking of trying to find a larger size ice block try to freeze broth, leftovers and so forth, so when I saw this I decided to try it. It's terrific, a good size, and because of it being silicone, it makes taking out the frozen food item easy. Stacks well in the freezer too, so I'm thinking of buying some more.

Love these ice cube trays! I have red ones which I use to make my dishwasher tablets and toilet fizzies, but need the blue ones to freeze aquafaba, herbs, etc.
Customer Testimonial

These jumbo ice cube trays are perfect for making raw treats in. You can layer ingredients if the recipe calls for it, freezing in between each layer and you end up with perfectly portioned desserts. Even if the portion size is too big for the recipe you have made you can easily slice them in half when serving.
I will be buying more! Thank you.

"A great size for freezing stock, my home grown minced garlic and mint with lemon juice in water to go into a water jug on a hot day! Easy to remove anything frozen in it with a minimum of fuss."
Customer Testimonial

Outside of the kitchen these jumbo square ice cube trays from Avanti can also be used to mix paints for art and craft activities, to make home made soaps, bath bombs, or toilet cleaning bars. If you are using these ice cube trays for multiple uses then it can be a good idea to have a different colour for each purpose. Keep a certain colour allocated for the sweet treats and fruit, another for making your soap and bath bombs and another for stock and any sauces.
