I am a man who loves his gadgetry, but from time to time, there is really something
to be said for classic design. There's one odd product that this holds
incredibly true for: ice cube trays.
I realize, it's completely silly that I care this much about ice, but
it's true. For all the wonderful advancements in ice making in the last
fifty years or so, if you discount the refrigerators that make perfect
ice for you, the best ice trays are the old aluminum ones with the pull
handle. There's no twisting, you can get as many or as few cubes out as
you'd like, and it just looks kind of classy.
Luckily, after
developing an obsession with this style of ice cube tray, I stocked up
by rooting through every second hand store, Salvation Army, Goodwill,
and thrift store in about a twenty mile radius. I kid you not. I was an
optimistic nineteen year old with a dream, and I made it a reality. I
owned like eight pull-handle ice cube trays.
Don't have ten hours to devote to ice cube trays? Do you just want one
of these beauties without the hassle? Well, if you haven't clicked one
of the links, you can probably imagine where they go: to Easy Comforts,
where you can purchase your very own pull-handle ice cube tray for a
mere $8.99. I think I spent more than that just on the gas for my
adventures.
But I digress, this post is about Easy Comforts, not my love of chromed-out ice cube trays. At East Comforts, you'll find all sorts of various products that will make your life a little bit easier (hence the name!) no matter what your needs are. They've got everything from medical supplies and weight loss aids to easy-to-wear jewelry. All of which comes with 2.5% Cash Back, and Free Shipping on orders $40 and up when you use your Ebates account.
One one final note, they also sell a knife/fork combination called The Knork. I hope this one works better than the one they created on the cartoon "Clone High".

Nice! I am always chasing falling ice cubes when I try to get them out of the traditional trays...
My plastic ones are all bent just from trying to get the cubes out!
