Can you use this for just ice cube?

Yes, but it'd be an expensive ice tray. I would rather use it to freeze lemon juice or something that would require a lid, but it can also make regular ice cubes.

I've never used it for ice, but have frozen broth. It works well with liquids

No, there is a place built in the machine that you just pour in the water. Turn it on and make ice cubes. You can use it any where there is an outlet. Mine has worked perfectly.

I don't know for sure, I have only used ice packs. It seems too thin of a bag to use with ice cubes.

Yes you can, however you would have to cut the cube in half, so that is a saving in itself.

If your objective is keeping your IPA dead-cold, why not just put in some small ice cubes? [/sarcasm]

We use ice from our commercial ice machine - half cube. They are a little smaller than bagged ice.

You can but it is clumsy. The trays are very flexible which makes it great getting the cubes out, either one, a few, or all, but when you are moving tray with water in it, that flexibility works against you. Until you have the tray on a flat surface it is very easy to spill the water.

We have not tried ice cubes, but doubt it would work the best. It comes with 3 plastic lidded containers that are the perfect size. We freeze and pop them out into a zip lock bag and freeze more so we have more than 3 ready when we want to make them. So ice cubes was never needed. Hope it helps.

Yes you can, but I would add some ice cubs to it if the item is room temperature or water if the items are chilled. You get a quicker result if you quarter a big fruit or vegetable.

We've used all different shapes in ours. As long as it isn't bigger than an normal ice cube, it should be fine.

The ice from my fridge fits. Ice from a plastic cube tray might not fit if it is the big squares.

You could put individual ice cubes in the 2" diameter opening although I haven't tried it. Good idea though!

Yes, you can. I have made it without ice and just added ice to my glass. I am very fussy about my tea and this makes very good ice tea.

Absolutely! You can repeat the ice cubes several times to shave ice for many snow cones. It holds quite a bit of shaved ice. Worth every penny I paid!

It is the same size as a regular thermos glass liner. Some cubes are small and cracked ice would work.

No. I keep the cubes in a plastic bag in the freezer. After I use them in a drink, I wash them off and refreeze them. I live in an apartment and could not move my refrig with ice maker in so this is a great space saving alternative.I use them all the time. I only keep an ice cube tray for ice for smoothies.

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!
