The cheapest way into slower-melting ice

A sphere loses heat more slowly than a standard cube of similar volume because it has less surface area relative to that volume — a real physical property, not a marketing claim, and the reason large-format ice is worth the extra mold in the first place.

What it doesn’t include

Unlike the HONYAO mold reviewed alongside it, this one has no lid — the spheres form open to the freezer, which can pick up other freezer odors over a long freeze compared with a sealed mold.
