Indidnt think that a better ice cube tray could be designed, but this is really a cool tray. It takes a try or two to get a handle on how it works. But once you figure it out it's easy to fill perfectly and a breeze to remove the cubes. They just slip right out! The lid seems to help keep strange freezer odors from penetrating the cubes, an issue I have had with trays in the past.

My freezer has a built in ice cube maker so this isn't a necessity for me at the moment. That being said, I look forward to using this tray for freezing excess herbs or pureed baby food in the future. I think it would work just as well for either of those.
