WATCH: New invention to help avoid icy mess

The invention is perfect for serving ice straight into drinks, without having to touch the cubes

EVERY week, the Northglen News brings you ‘Things You Never Knew Existed’. This week it’s the ‘QuickSnap Plus’, an ice cube storage tray that will help you avoid an icy mess in your kitchen. According to the inventors, the tray “uses a switch mechanism to store and release your ice cubes and comes with a lid to stop any spillages in the freezer.”

“When ice is needed, simply twist the tray to loosen the cubes and then push each switch on the reverse, in the direction of the arrow, to release one ice cube at a time – effectively snapping each out of its individual compartment. With QuickSnap you only release the amount of ice cubes you really need, whilst the rest remain securely in the tray and can be placed back in the freezer. Perfect for serving ice straight into drinks, without having to touch the cubes,” they explain on their website.
