How to Use Shark Ice Mold for Themed Party Ice

Quick Answer

Use the ZOKU Shark Ice Mold to make fun, slow-melting shark-shaped ice cubes for themed parties. Follow a few simple steps for easy release and clear results.

How to Use the Shark Ice Mold

1. Fill the Mold Carefully: Hold the silicone mold flat and pour filtered water into each cavity up to the fill line. Avoid overfilling, which can cause spillage and cloudy ice. Use distilled or boiled water for clearer ice.
2. Freeze Flat and Uncovered: Place the filled mold on a level freezer shelf. Do not stack anything on top. Freeze for at least 6 hours or until completely solid. A common mistake is freezing with the lid on too tight; leave it slightly loose to allow expansion.
3. Release Gently at Room Temperature: Remove the mold from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes. Gently flex the silicone from the bottom to pop out each shark cube. Do not twist or pull hard, which can break the ice. If the ice sticks, run the bottom of the mold under lukewarm water for 5 seconds.
4. Use Immediately or Store: Place the shark cubes directly into drinks or a punch bowl. For later use, store them in a sealed freezer bag to prevent freezer burn and odor absorption. Do not refreeze thawed cubes; they will become cloudy and crack.

Product Fact

• Shark Ice Mold: ZOKU’s Shark Ice is a surprising addition to any beverage. Large ice cubes actually melt more slowly than average sized ice cubes, delaying the dilution of your drink. This means your themed ice not only looks cool but also keeps your drink flavorful longer.
