ice cube tray

Frozen water form

An ice cube tray is a container with multiple small compartments for freezing water into individual cubes.

You fill it, place it in the freezer, and later twist or flex the tray to release the ice.

The compartments are typically square or rectangular, though novelty trays come in various shapes: She bought an ice cube tray that makes little skulls.
