Title: Hard to fill. Makes a mess.
Product review: Once filled an placed in the freezer it will, as expected, make nice little blocks of ice. Unlike others, I have no issue with removing the finished cubes.The hard part is that initial filling and placing. Each 'pocket' has walls that go the full height of the tray, meaning that water cannot flow between each cube to fill them evenly without also running over the sides and out of the tray. Once it is filled, the flexibility of the tray makes it hard to manipulate onto the shelf of the freezer without flexing the tray and causing water to spill out.I've found the best method is to place the tray on some kind of rigid surface (I use a small cutting board) and then filling each cell individually from a liquid measuring cup that has a spout. I aim for getting them filled to about 1/8" below the top of the tray, and then I place the whole assembly--cutting board and all--on the freezer shelf until they've set.A lot of work just to get well-proportioned ice.
