I live in an apartment with a very small refrigerator that doesn’t have an icemaker. I came to amazon in search of ice trays and found this. I don’t like ice trays that are open and exposed to whatever food is in the freezer. I LOVE these trays. Not only are they covered with a plastic lid, but it is also extremely easy to pop the cubes out. I visited my mother a few days ago and saw that she has exposed ice cube trays as well. I’ve ordered a set for her which is due to arrive today. I didn’t tell her that I’ve ordered them for her. I’m anxious to see if she’ll what they are and who sent them. lol
