Can you stack 2 or more trays for freezing? I'm hoping to not have to buy the stand. I use a lot of ice!

absolutely you can stack them but as Hugo commented it is a balancing act - much better to use the Ice tray stand. or if you have very little in your freezer just place them side by side.

Yes and no. It's kind of a balancing act. We did not buy the stand, and are doing well with balancing them on top of each other. I would recommend to place them in a section of the freezer where you have minimal activity.

It would be challenging, I own three of them and use the stand. The handle that goes down the middle makes stacking them problematic.

Sorry, we haven't tried stacking. I'm not sure I would want to. This unit looks really nice but isn't as handy or as durable as I would have liked it to be.It's one of the very few items I've bought from Amazon and found rather disappointing.

Yes your 4 ice-trays will be enough. Along with the water, it will fill up just fine.

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 are two trays in one purchase. As stated in the review, the trays are very small. 3" W x 5" L x 1" H. Makes 15 small ice cubes.

You can stack all the trays and only use one if that is all you need. With all the pet treats at are out that are hurting animals, I find I use all the trays because I make all their treats. I make several different kinds at a time.

2 sets of trays come with it. I started out with 2 and when I went back to work got 2 more. It really depends how much milk you are freezing, but I make about 36oz and have a stash and the four trays help me do one round of freezing on a work day. I think you can also use them for homemade babyfood.

The handles do stick up about an inch so you could stack them but they might be a little unsteady if you stack too many and there would be a gap in between the trays. You may want to get the trays that are just like these but do not have handles because the top is flat and they would stack better.

You could if you use the metal end on a hard surface . Make sure to place the ice in a waterproof nylon bag 3-5 min after taking them out of the freezer. Cheers!

Yes. Stack nicely. No sticking. However, the ice is hard to get out. If you have some patience it's good ice.

simple ice trays and btw it doesn't work too well either, it takes forever for anything to freeze completely..we have ice pops for the kids that I put in about a week ago and they are still not frozen.

Start with very hot water. This slows the freezing processes and has the side effect of producing very clear ice. The hotter the better, but not so hot you melt your trays.

If they are not frozen first they will stick together upon freezing. I do not stack mine.

They are not reusable. They can only be frozen once - because you have to "pop" the cubes out of them when you want to use them. You can kind of use them as an ice pack over and over, but you can't get the ice cubes out without breaking the plastic. Does that make sense?

yes, my ice is about that size. sort of crescent shaped. we can put 2 pieces at a time in it.

They're spheres instead of squares, they're enclosed instead of open, they are stackable, there's only two (maybe you just don't need 6 at a time, and leaving ice in the freezer too long is a bad idea, especially uncovered). Lots of good reasons.
