Ice Cube Mold METALTEX silicone for 2 spheres, black, for 60 mm diameter balls — 1 piece

METALTEX silicone ice mold creates two spherical ice balls with a diameter of 60 mm. Made from flexible, food-grade silicone in black, the mold is designed to produce large round ice spheres that have a smaller surface area than regular cubes and therefore melt more slowly. The product is supplied as a single piece and is intended for home bars, restaurants, catering events and private use where chilled drinks and cocktails are served.

Advantages

The soft silicone construction allows for easy filling, simple removal of finished ice spheres and minimal risk of cracking or chipping compared to rigid molds. The 60 mm diameter spheres provide longer-lasting cooling for spirits and mixed drinks, reducing dilution. The black color masks minor stains and fits discreetly into most freezer interiors, while the compact two-sphere layout saves freezer space compared with larger multi-cavity trays.

Suitable for

• Chilling single-serve cocktails, whiskey and spirit neat
• Home bars and small commercial bars where slow-melting ice is desired
• Events and catering where presentable large ice spheres are preferred
• Preparing ice for pitchers or decorative drink presentations

When it may not be suitable

This silicone mold produces two large 60 mm spheres, so it may be unsuitable when a large quantity of small ice cubes is required quickly. Because the spheres are larger, freezing each batch takes longer than thin trays with many cavities. It is also not intended for use in ovens or direct heat sources.

Key specifications

• Material: food-grade silicone
• Color: black
• Number of cavities: 2 spherical cavities
• Sphere diameter: 60 mm
• Typical use: freezer-based ice production
• Removability: flexible walls for easy release

How to use

Fill the mold cavities with clean water up to the indicated level, taking care not to overfill to avoid spillage in the freezer. Place the mold on a level surface in the freezer and allow sufficient time for full freezing; freezing time will vary with freezer temperature and water volume. To release the spheres, gently press and flex the silicone around each cavity until the ice ball loosens, then lift out. For clearer ice, use boiled or filtered water and allow slow freezing if possible.

What to consider before purchase

• Produces two large 60 mm spheres — plan for longer freezing times per batch
• Designed for freezer use only; not suitable for oven or microwave
• Material is flexible silicone — handle accordingly to avoid damage from sharp objects

Usage recommendations

For best results, use filtered or boiled-and-cooled water to reduce cloudiness, place the mold on a flat freezer shelf, and allow ample freezing time. Remove spheres gently by flexing the silicone rather than prying to prolong mold life.
