Smart design ice tray

Start by matching your ice needs to the tray's grid count and shape. Choose a material that is food‑grade and BPA‑free, with silicone trays offering easy release and plastic trays offering durability. Consider whether you want a lid to prevent spills and freezer odors, and pick a size that fits your freezer and glassware. In this category you'll find options from brands like Innovia and Fashion, including 37-grid silicone trays, 104-grid mini rounds, and multi‑layer designs.

The lid and the material are the most important design features. A leakproof lid protects ice from odors and spills, and keeps cubes clean during storage. Silicone is typically the easiest to release and handle, while plastic or mixed-material trays offer durability but may require more effort to pop out cubes. Look for BPA-free, food-grade construction and consider the grid count (e.g., 37-grid or 104-grid) to match your usage, with brands like Innovia or Fashion providing these smart options.

For everyday use, a compact tray with a moderate grid count and a tight lid is ideal. A 37-grid silicone tray offers quick release and easy storage for daily drinks. For entertaining, opt for a larger or multi-layer design such as a 104-grid mini round tray with lid or a multi-grid silicone tray to produce more ice at once. These options balance capacity, ease of use, and clean storage while keeping the smart design idea at the core, from trusted brands like Innovia and Fashion.

Clean the tray after each use with mild soap and warm water. Silicone trays are typically dishwasher safe on the top rack, while plastic or mixed-material trays may need hand washing. Dry thoroughly before storing, and keep the lid on to prevent contamination in the freezer. Choose trays with food-grade materials and BPA-free construction to maintain safety, whether you use a 37-grid silicone tray or a 104-grid mini round design.

Yes, pick a smart design ice tray with a compatible lid and size to pair with other accessories. For example, trays with durable lids help when storing cubes produced by a portable ice maker like Innovia, and a multi-layer tray can supplement capacity for parties. Ensure the tray’s grid layout and outer dimensions fit inside your freezer or ice storage, and choose materials that withstand repeated freezing and popping out cubes.
