An ice pick was just something everybody had. With my scores of kitchen gadgets, I'm surprised I don't have one.
I'm back to covered Tupperware. Glad I saved them. -----Original Message----- From: Deborah Barnes via Cookinginthedark <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 24, 2019 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Cc: Deborah Barnes <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [CnD] filling up ice trays Yeah, one day I asked somebody if they had an ice pick; they looked at me like I was crazy. "What's an ice pick," she said. I was flabbergasted! When I was a kid, if you got ice from somewhere it was in a big block; everybody had an ice pick. We got my mother-in-law an ice machine. Talk about loud!!! Everybody in the apartment building knew when she was chopping ice! My greatest find was when I found the Tupperware icetrays with lids. I'm sure you can get rubbermade and others now, but I was so happy as I always (and I do mean always) would spill water somewhere, and so did everybody else. And in my family, when someone spilled water, they usually said words they never said any other time. There was just something about spilling water when filling up ice trays!!!!!!

I had a machine that sat on the counter and just made ice. It quit. I'm back to trays with covers.

I then put the large ice cube in a plastic bag and break it up with a hammer and then transfer toa storage bag and use it like that. Sounds kinda crazy, but it works for me. If the large cubes don't come out easily I run them under hot water and loosens them right up.
