I actually made ice with 'Ice Saku' which can make transparent round ice with few bubbles and put things inside
When you make ice in your home freezer, air gets inside and it often turns into white and opaque ice. Therefore, a product called '
'Ice Saku' transparent ice maker (ice maker that can make transparent ice)
http://sanosyoukai.com/cc/
This is the package.
In addition to the main body of the ice cube, there were instruction manuals and a simple set order manual.
This is the main body of the ice cube. The size is 10 cm in diameter x 16.5 cm in height.
When the main body is disassembled, it looks like this.
The simple set order manual illustrates how to use it so that anyone can easily make ice.
First, assemble the parts that were separated.
Pour enough water into the cup ...
Submerge the parts you assembled earlier.
All you have to do is put it in the outer case.
How does it work? To illustrate that, it looks like the following. A mold holder is attached under the ball parts with holes at the top and bottom, and when you put it in water, the inside of the ball will be filled with water from the bottom to the top. And the blue outer case attached on it seems to play an important role, and when it is put in the freezer, it surely freezes from top to bottom due to the gradient of the heat insulating material, so the air in the water is driven down and the inside of the ball part The ice becomes completely transparent, and the air concentrates on the ice inside the mold holder.
It is possible to put flowers and fruits in the ice, so prepare cherries and blueberries.
Pack the fruit in the ball parts.
Stick the tops of the ball parts together, immerse them in a cup filled with water as before, then put them in the outer case and cool them in the freezer.
After putting it in the freezer, freeze it at around -18 degrees for 8 to 12 hours to complete the ice.
And here is the ice maker taken out of the freezer after a lapse of time.
When I took out the inner cup from the outer case, the lid floated a little from the lid stopper of the water storage container. This is a guideline for completion, and if the lid is not separated from the cup, it needs a little more freezing.
When taken out of the water storage container, the mold holder and spherical parts are firmly solidified with ice.
Disassemble each part by pouring water or lukewarm water on it to dissolve it.
Then, the completed ice appeared like this.
When I take it out of the case, it looks like this.
The ice that had nothing inside had a little air in it.
The size is about 6 cm in diameter. There was a little air in it, but the inside is almost transparent like a crystal ball.
The ice on the side with fruits has a slightly fantastic atmosphere.
I will actually buy brandy and try using ice.
The ice is big enough to fit in a glass. Since there are no gaps due to air, it is difficult to melt and you can enjoy a drink slowly.
Of course, you can put it in juice as well as alcohol. Floating ice with fruits on a sweet drink will make children happy.
I also put ice with fruits in brandy.
The ice will gradually melt.
The fruit is a little frozen and can be eaten deliciously with a brandy flavor.
I wondered where the air inside went, and when I looked it up, the air was concentrated on the ice in the mold holder attached under the sphere, and it turned white.
The inside is partially hollow.
The optimum temperature for freezing ice is -18 degrees Celsius, which corresponds to the 'medium' setting of the freezer, but if it is frozen at a lower temperature, it becomes oval as shown below. Be careful as it will end up.
The price is 3360 yen including tax. Not only does it have the advantage of being difficult to dissolve due to the small amount of impurities and air bubbles mixed in, but it is also very cool in appearance, so in the coming hot season, you can drink a little fashionably and slowly, or you will be surprised when you entertain people. It seems to be usable.
