Yet another week of blistering summer weather – we could get very used to this! We’ve been drinking less cups of tea and more glasses of refreshing elderflower pressé.
Our freezer compartment is always chock full of pre-cooked meals and sauces, so forego keeping ice trays in it most of the time. We’ve just rearranged the drawers to make some more room but our two IKEA ice cube trays, cute as they are, don’t make enough ice for more than a couple of thirst-quenching highballs.
If you regularly add ice to your soft drinks, gin & tonics or Cuba Libres, instead of buying (expensive) plastic bags of ice from the supermarket, one of these ice cube makers is just the ticket. If you’ve got the spare counter-top space available, the Andrew James one is for you.
Our worktops are already overcrowded, what with the stand mixer, yoghurt maker and coffee machine; I like the genie. Not only does it make ice cubes, it doubles up as an ice bucket!
