What is the difference between this ice cube tray and oxo spill proof tray?

this tray has this cover on it. so you don't spill any water in your freezer. when I take it out of the freezer, sometimes the top tray is hard to open. I just run hot water on it and it opens clean. I can walk to the freezer from the sink without any water on my floor. I am going to order another one soon.

The spill proof has a silicone topper that seals the compartments while this one simply has a sliding cover but can spill if tipped. The silicone is probably stackable as well, I'd probably go with that, unfortunately I didn't see it when I bought these.

I use mine for to get the ice cubes that I drop into my ice tray that is located in a bottom freezer refrigerator. This scoop is always left in the ice tray and I have had no issue with doing that well over a year.

You mean BPA. I called OXO and they said it is a newer type of plastic called Tritan, made by Eastman. While supposedly BPA free and safe, there is some question about that if you do a web search on Tritan (I wonder if any plastic is safe these days).

It allows you to adjust the size of the ice cubes... take a lesson from me though if you make the cubes to big they will not separate easy

The cubes are a bit bigger than those from a plastic tray because they have more room with only the metal divider between them. However, the metal slider attached to the handle slips off easily and often and we found it so hard to use (you can get cut on it) that I now use silicone trays.

Tho only difference I can see is the lip on the older trays is higher and kind of slotted. The lip on the newer trays is sold but not as high. Appears to be about 1/4" difference, but both have a raised lip.

Hmm. I think I know what you're asking. When I lived with my ex husband our ice cubes would taste odd depending on what was in the freezer at any given time. I don't have this here at my new place, regardless of if I'm using the trays, this, or my icemaker. But I assume because the ice is formed in an enclosed, sealed state it would greatly cut down on intrusive odors.

Oxo doesn't suggest freezing it at an angle. What it says is, "The silicone lid forms a seal, so you don't have to worry about tipping or tilting the Tray when you carry it from sink to freezer. Now you can store the Ice Cube Tray in any position, even on an angle between the ice cream and the frozen veggies in a crowded freezer!" Those are two different things. The silicone cover prevents spills when you tilt it a bit when you're carrying it. After the ice is frozen, you can store the tray however you want and the ice doesn't come out.

There us no aftertaste in the ice. The product is moderately sturdy but the ice cubes are very hard to get out of the tray. The lever keeps bending and the only way to get the ice out is to run it under water. I have quit using it and am now using the oxo ice cube trays. They are wonderful.

Whilst I have never owned the Prepology Collapsible Colander, I can vouch 100% that OXO is the "Rolls Royce" of kitchen gadgets. I have owned my colander for a couple of years and have absolutely no problems with it. Hope this helps you in your decision process.

Those are different trays . But you might find the kit with those instead of the other trays ! May just look around .

The opening is big enough for ice cubes to fit in without melting them down. On the actual screw-on lid, the opening is probably as big around as a skewer.

Top tray has ventilation cuts all around - so not leak proof. Bottom one seals tight but is one compartment - not subdivided.

It appears to be a flexible silicon. I did not use them for ice trays. We melted broken crayons in them in the microwave. They worked fine for that.

Yes they are quite different. Food trays are usually made with silicone material and I found that when using those for my breastmilk the breast milk would stay behind on the walls or forms if you will. Basically the fat content of your breast milk :( also it's harder to remove the solid breast milk after it's frozen in general from the silicone/plastic forms. I've used the beaba, green sprouts, fresh baby, and so many others just because I wanted to store bigger sizes and the tried and true is what keeps me coming back to the Milkies trays. It's just easier to freeze and remove and so much more cost efficient. Not to mention it's medical grade!! Ultimately you get to keep your fat content from your breast milk and that's important for your baby. Hind milk is the fattiest and most nutritional part of breast milk for your baby. Other forms of storing breast milk and freezing take that important fat from baby. If you don't want to use Milkies trays I strongly suggest using broscillate glass bottles for freezer and the only bottle I am aware of that is made of this type of glass is life factory. I can't afford the price tags on that so I that's why I stick with Milkies milk trays :) its affordable and more importantly keeps all my breast milk nutrients and fat composition intact for my baby :)

I have not compared the two, They stay cold for a couple of days or longer if more are used together. The outer layer seems to be durable but they still seep some of the liquid material. I bought some 2 gallon ziplock freezer bags and put one sheet in each ziplock bag. Got rid of most of the sticky.
