Product Information
Full details
The Zoku Crown Ice Moulds in Red are designed for cocktail enthusiasts and home entertainers looking to elevate their beverage presentation. The key benefit is the creation of large, slow-melting crown-shaped ice cubes that enhance drink aesthetics and maintain flavour. A potential caveat is that the large size may not fit all glasses, and filling can require careful attention to avoid spills.

FAQs
How large are the crown ice cubes?
Each crown-shaped cube has a capacity of approximately 3 oz (88 ml) and measures about 9.8 x 9.8 x 8.3 cm.
Can I use liquids other than water?
Yes, you can use fruit juices, coffee, tea, or other non-carbonated beverages. Avoid carbonated liquids.
Are the materials safe for food contact?
Yes, the moulds are made from food-grade silicone and a BPA- and phthalate-free polypropylene base, ensuring they are safe for use with beverages.
How do I clean the ice moulds?
They are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water.
Will the large ice cubes dilute my drink quickly?
No, the large size of the crown ice cubes allows them to melt slowly, keeping your drink cold for longer without significant dilution.
What is included in the set?
The set includes two moulds: one king crown and one queen crown.
How long does it take to freeze?
Typically, it takes about 4-6 hours to freeze completely, depending on your freezer's temperature.
Troubleshooting
Ice is difficult to remove from the mould.
Ensure the ice is fully frozen. If it's still difficult, run the outside of the silicone mould under warm (not hot) water for a few seconds to slightly loosen the ice before attempting to release it.
Ice cube is cloudy or has freezer burn.
Cloudy ice is normal due to trapped air. For clearer ice, try using boiled and cooled water, or ensure the mould is completely covered and sealed in the freezer. Avoid opening and closing the freezer door frequently.
Mould leaks during filling or freezing.
Ensure the silicone mould is properly seated on the polypropylene base and that the base is placed on a level surface in the freezer. Do not overfill the mould.
Small ice shards break off during removal.
Handle the frozen ice gently. If breakage occurs, ensure the mould was filled completely and frozen solid. A very slight warming of the mould exterior can sometimes help prevent chipping.
