I've always had trouble releasing ice cubes from trays because my hands are small. Twisting the trays was painful for me--until I got this Oxo tray. The cubes release easily but that's not the only reason to love it. The silicone cover prevents spills between the sink and the freezer. Also, I can store the tray at an angle in the freezer and it doesn't spill. Love it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
