Crushed Ice Maker
Don't you wish you could have crushed ice without having to buy a new refrigerator? | |
Well I do, which is how I found this site in the first place. So here's my idea: Make an ice tray shaped in such a way, that the ice that comes out of it would be easily crushed by hand. perhaps with slats or something. Definitely a billion dollar idea, but I can't afford to build a factory. I'm just
interested in having crushed ice. I have been using a hammer on regular ice, but there's a limit as to how long I can keep telling my neighbors I'm fixing something.

Quieter than a hammer, cheaper than a new refrigerator, more elegant than ice trays. [jurist, Oct 04 2004]
Old-fashioned aluminum ice cube trays

As I remember (from the olden days) these seemed to crush the ice as the cubes came out. Was actually difficult to get whole cubes. [Klaatu, Oct 04 2004]

It was already invented.:-( My family had one when I was a child and it worked great. I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to find someplace that still sells them. I came across this posting in an effort to locate one on line. It looked like a normal aluminum ice cube tray but had extra slats, just like you suggested. One pull of the handle and ~presto~ a tray full of crushed ice.
And now...on with the search! |

1/15/05 Found it! Not new but gently used on ebay. Paid a dollar plus shipping. Works great! Had my White Russian on crushed ice....really nice. Saw four more on the site, but didn't buy it due to high shipping costs. Go check it out! |
