Cleaning ice cube trays is one cool solution – Our Communities

Hello Reena,Maybe you can let me in on a trick or two about the following: Sometimes ice cubes crack when being extracted from the trays rather than coming out nicely formed. I have tried drying the tray before refilling and also not overfilling each well but to no avail. Oiling each well separately doesn’t seem to be an option, at least not continuously. Any ideas? I’d guess that cracking occurs more often than not. Thank you, JK | Dear JK,Ice cubes have a tendency to shatter when the tray becomes coated with hard water deposits. As water freezes, the ice sticks to the deposits. Instead of reaching for the oil, clean the trays with vinegar. Coat the bottom of each compartment with a hint of vinegar, before adding water to combat mineral formation. Run hot water on the bottom exterior of the ice cube trays before releasing cubes. Or set the trays in a sink of hot water for a few seconds. | Hello Reena,I own two cookbooks that carry a heavy cigarette odour. Can this cigarette smell be removed? Your column is very interesting and informative. Thank you so much, Doreen | Hi Doreen,Begin by hanging the books on the clothesline outside on a sunny day. Bring the books inside at night (just in case it rains). You can also place sheets of newspaper between pages; the ink in the paper will absorb the odour. Be sure not to place newspaper directly on the pages. Sandwich newspaper between tea towels so that no ink touches the books.
