ice trays

Freezer compartment staples

Ice trays are shallow rectangular containers divided into compartments for freezing water into cubes.

You fill them, place them in the freezer, and twist or flex them to release the ice.

Once a kitchen staple, they've been largely displaced by automatic ice makers: Who even uses ice trays anymore?
