Tovolo King Cube Ice System

The system uses directional freezing. By insulating the sides and bottom of the mold with foam, the water freezes from the top down, pushing trapped air and impurities into the bottom reservoir rather than freezing them into the center of the cube.

Because the insulation slows the freezing process to ensure clarity, you should expect a freeze time of approximately 24 hours. It is a slower process than standard trays, but the result is significantly denser and clearer.

No, the silicone mold is designed to be flexible and peels away from the frozen ice block easily. Once you remove the mold from the insulated container, the ice cube should pop out with minimal effort.

The system measures 15 inches long by 4.75 inches wide and 4.5 inches high. It is compact enough for most standard freezer shelves, but it is worth measuring your space to ensure you have a flat, level surface for the best results.

While distilled water can help reduce cloudiness, it is not strictly necessary with this system. The directional freezing method is highly effective at pushing out impurities regardless of the water source, though filtered water is always a good practice for the best taste.
