@JudyEv It would have to be a very small one!! At the time of typing it was covered in about 2 inches of snow. It's gone now though.

Living in a tropical climate where most of the year feels like living at the threshold of Hell's door, ice is a valuable commodity. I have an automatic ice maker built into my refrigerator, but I also keep blocks of ice frozen in my freezer. Although we're having a very cold winter at the moment, ice is pretty much a daily necessity for life here in Florida. I love that your ice blocks are pie-shaped.

@JudyEv What's wrong Judy, you can't handle a little heat?

I can imagine that many would use a lot more ice than we ever would. I don't think living in Florida would suit me.

@moffittjc A LITTLE heat maybe - but not a whole lot of heat - not to mention humidity.

I now buy plastic bags divided in many small "cubes", I freeze the bags full of water and I "cut" only the cubes I need.

@JudyEv They are inexpensive they are sold in rolls, like the freezer bags.

We have a metal one in the caravan and I've cut my hand on that once or twice. It's pretty lethal.

@crazyhorseladycx Mine had such sharp edges and needed a bit of muscle to free the blocks, then of course, it only needed a small slip and next you knew, you were bleeding.

This is much cheaper than buying an automated one, unless of course it's built into the fridge.

@JudyEv we had to turn ours off (it has an outside unit to get ice and not open the frig). my dog is really smart. He loves ice. He learned he could get ice without humans involved. The floor was wet from half eaten ice!

@JudyEv No. Not automatic. Yes. But I like that it is stackable. Not that regular ice trays are not. But it's roundness also gives it a lower profile, so it takes up less space and still gets the job done. I like it.

Mine just does it automatically and falls into a big container. You choose the type of ice you want from the front tap on the fridge.
