Omg. Genius-ness. The Ice Orb is “the first vertical ice tray that makes, chills, serves, and stores”!
You basically fill it up, place the inside container in, and freeze. If you want ice cubes, take out the inside container and 21 cubes call out from the side walls, then you can use the container to hold them.
You can also use the inside container to serve cold foods. Check out the site for a video. Only $16! (but sadly they’re out of stock- hopefully they’ll get more soon) (via productdose)
