The ice cube cup is a small round silicone mold that freezes a ring of small cubes around an inner cylinder and drops them into a glass when you squeeze the outer wall. It replaces a flat tray that spills on the way to the freezer: fill the cup, press the inner cylinder in and stand it upright. It is part of our Kitchen Essentials collection.
