As the old saying goes, "If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself."

So cup your hands and collect some water in them, and then hold them in the freezer until ice forms. Repeat as necessary to fill the ice box.

If you're too weak to twist the tray, then just go and buy bags of ice.

1) Flip tray upside down over the ice holder.
2) Hold the tray by each end; your fingers will wrap onto the ice, your palms will wrap onto the end caps.
3) Rotate your hands in opposite directions.
4) ??
5) Profit!

If you remain unable to twist the tray sufficiently to release the ice cubes, please quit life.

Have you seen pictures of the OP? He could use his arms to floss his teeth.

Everything that comes out of your freezer is the same temp.

Most of the cooling that the ice does to your drink is from the melting. The energy required to go from solid -> liquid is much more than the energy required to just go up in temperature.

No, no, Dentine is right. If you don't click on every single link in every single thread before responding, it means you're illiterate.

The best ice cube trays are the ones in the built in ice-maker.

2nd best are the aluminum ice cube trays. The aluminum conducts the heat away quicker. And, as an added bonus, they have a long lever to release the cubes. Note: lever - simple machine. A device made to make work easier to do. This makes it ideal for TridenT.

Whoa-whoa-whoa.... no twisting required? How will I ever get stronger?
