FAQs
How long does it take for the ice balls to freeze?
Freezing time can vary depending on your freezer's temperature, but typically takes 4-6 hours for a complete freeze.
Can I use these moulds for liquids other than water?
Yes, you can use them for juices or other non-carbonated beverages. However, freezing juices may result in less clear ice and might require more thorough cleaning.
What are the dimensions of the finished ice balls?
Each mould creates a large ice sphere with a capacity of approximately 118 ml. The overall dimensions of the mould set are about 9.4 x 9.4 x 7.2 cm.
Are the moulds dishwasher safe?
No, the Zoku Ice Moulds are not dishwasher safe. They should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water and allowed to air dry.
How many moulds are included in the set?
The set includes two shark ice ball moulds.
What is the material of the moulds?
The moulds are crafted from flexible, food-grade silicone with rigid polypropylene bases.
Will the ice balls fit in a standard whisky glass?
The ice balls are quite large. While they are designed for spirits, their size may be a tight fit for some narrower glasses. It is recommended to check the dimensions against your specific glassware.
Troubleshooting
Ice ball is difficult to remove from the mould.
Ensure the mould is completely frozen. If still difficult, allow it to sit at room temperature for 1-2 minutes before gently twisting or pulling the silicone away from the ice.
Mould appears cracked or damaged after freezing.
Avoid overfilling the mould, as expanding water can cause stress. Ensure the base is properly aligned before freezing. If damage is significant, discontinue use.
Ice ball is cloudy or has trapped air bubbles.
This is normal for water frozen in this manner. For clearer ice, try using boiled and cooled water, or fill the mould more slowly to minimize air incorporation.
Liquid is leaking from the mould during freezing.
Check that the silicone mould is fully seated within the rigid base and that there are no gaps. Ensure the mould is placed perfectly level in the freezer.
