Mossime Large Square Whiskey Silicone Ice Cube Trays with Lid, 2-Pack Review (2026)

What these trays are for

The Mossime trays are built around one job: making large, slow-melting ice cubes for whiskey, old fashioneds and other spirits that benefit from a bigger cube rather than standard freezer ice. Each mold produces 2-inch square cubes, and the 2-pack set is designed to give a home bar enough cubes on hand for a small gathering without needing to run multiple freezer batches back to back. The silicone construction and included lids also make the trays useful beyond cocktails, since the same molds work for freezing baby food portions, soup stock or fruit purees, which stretches their usefulness past just drink night. Buying two trays at once also means a batch can go back into the freezer to refill while the first is already in use.

Materials and everyday use

The trays are made from food-grade silicone rubber and are described as BPA-free, which matters since the cubes are handled directly and dropped straight into drinks. The molds are freezer and dishwasher safe, so cleanup after a party is straightforward rather than requiring hand washing. A non-stick, flexible design lets you twist or push from the bottom to pop cubes free without cracking them, which is a common failure point with rigid plastic trays. Because the silicone flexes, the trays also tolerate rougher handling during a busy night than a hard mold typically would, and the flexible walls make it easier to pop out several cubes quickly when a party is in full swing.

The lids and stacking

Each tray in the 2-pack comes with its own silicone lid, and the pair is designed to stack together in the freezer to save space, which is a real advantage in a crowded freezer door or a shared kitchen. The lids also help keep the ice from picking up freezer odors and prevent spills while carrying a full tray to the freezer. That said, the added lid does mean each tray is bulkier than a bare mold, so it will not slide into every narrow freezer shelf as easily as a lid-free tray, which is a fair trade-off for the odor protection and stackability it provides.

Clarity and what to expect from the ice

Like most silicone ice molds, these trays will produce cloudy rather than crystal-clear cubes, since ordinary tap or filtered water freezes with trapped air and minerals that scatter light. Clear ice generally requires a directional-freezing method or specialized clear ice trays, and this set is not built for that. For most whiskey drinkers, cloudy 2-inch cubes still deliver the main benefit people want, which is a large cube that melts slowly and dilutes a pour gradually rather than watering it down quickly. Anyone specifically chasing bar-quality clear cubes for presentation should look at a dedicated clear ice mold instead of a standard silicone set like this one.

Verdict

This is a straightforward, budget-friendly way to keep large whiskey-style cubes on hand without investing in specialty clear ice equipment. The lids add real convenience for freezer stacking and odor protection, at the cost of slightly more bulk per tray, and the trade-off between cost and appearance is the main thing to weigh here: cloudy cubes with easy pop-out release and dishwasher-safe cleanup, rather than clear cubes with more effort. For anyone who wants functional big-format ice for old fashioneds or neat pours and does not need showroom clarity, this 2-pack covers that need well for the price.
