Why Choose a Hexagon Ice Cube Tray?
From first glance, it’s easy to see why a hexagon ice cube tray stands out. Its geometric beauty isn’t just there to impress guests — it also has a few practical perks. Unlike traditional square trays, this clever shape maximizes space while ensuring each cube is small and melts evenly, keeping your drink cold without watering it down too fast.
More importantly, the tray’s silicone body makes removing cubes a cinch, even if you’re in a rush or have a bustling kitchen. If you’re adding fresh mint or slices of lemon into your ice, the hexagon shapes help lock the bits into aesthetic, Instagram-ready pieces of chilled perfection.
