@@ilikefood1609 The original design goes back to at least the 1950’s. Ice trays were made of metal, usually aluminum. Also, there’s nothing complicated about the design at all. It’s actually extremely simple. I have some of the originals from the 50’s and 60’s. I always use one or two (alongside the cheap, plastic trays) because I prefer bigger ice “cubes.” Lastly, they work fine. If you overfill them, they’ll stick. If you don’t overfill them, they’ll work perfectly fine almost 100% of the time. You also don’t need cooking oil if you’re looking for a “hack” to overfill them and not have them stick. Just put some sugar in the water. You can also just pull the tray out and leave it at room temperature for a couple minutes.
My grandparents had ice trays like that, I had never seen them put cooking spray on them, but I've seen them put the ice trays under running water for a few seconds or so, and that helped... that was how we used to get ice out of ice trays back then
Imagine how gross a glass of lemonade with an oil slick on top would be. BLECH! Those metal ice cube trays were the only kind available for 50 years of refrigeration and at worst you could get the divider mechanism to lift out a large ice cube then whack it on the counter and all the cubes would come out, ready to use. And the broken bits are wonderful in drinks.
Right lol. This is such a Tyler thing to do. "I did it completely wrong the first time. So this time I'm going to do it properly and add this completely unnecessary and counterproductive step." ... "Well I'll be dipped, the completely unnecessary and counterproductive step solved the problem by itself! ... The only problem is blah, blah, blah." Lmao, never change Tyler.
My parents used this type of ice cube tray when I was a kid (60s-70s) and you just have to leave them sitting out for five or ten minutes (depending on room temperature) before lifting the lever. They melt enough to release from the frame. 😊
Fill the tray no more than 3/4 full. Then pull fast to crack the cubes lose. This type of tray has been in use for over 80 years, works great when you do it right.
Naw, what made the difference was not overfilling the tray. You don’t need the oil. We used these when I was a kid. Half the time I’d fill it I would go too high with the water, only to curse myself later.
Good gosh, I grew up using metal ice treys. We stacked the treys in the freezer every day and not a single problem pulling the handle to get the ice out. But thanks, I laughed through this video and the original ice video...thanks again, now I need to teach my grand-kiddos how to turn the TV on without a remote.
All the oil does is make your ice yucky. My babysitter had these when I was a kid. All you have to do is not fill it so full and to make it easier you run hot water over the bottom before you crack it.
These were used extensively before plastic became so big. I remember having them as a kid. We never used oil on them. The key part is not to fill them too much. You have to be mindful of the expansion that occurs.
That type of ice tray is like from the sixties. There are way better ice trays nowadays, and spraying oil in the tray and making oily ice cubes is gross. I bought some ice trays from recently that had a soft bottom to where all you have to do is push the ice cube out from the bottom of the tray and they work fantastic.
We always ran a little warm water from tap with it upside down and your hand under it. We stopped the water when it came loose from the tray. Then turned it over and pulled the handle. Worked real well.
When I was a kid in the 90's I used metal ice trays like that and never had to do anything special except not to put too much water in them, Also we used the release lever like taking off a bandaid, fast. Also using less water makes them freeze faster.
We still had 2 of these metal trays when I was a kid. I was literally 6 and could open and refill the metal trays without issue. The only difference I notice is that the ones we had had a texture stamped into the metal tray and the bottom of the tray had lines dimpled into it that ran from side to side. Maybe that makes a difference I don't know. I used to make the Kool-Aid popsicles in them where you pour Kool-Aid in, cover with foil and poke a toothpick into each one through the foil. Let them freeze and voila! "poor-people popsicles", lol!
I respect the going back and revisiting a test that maybe didn't go quite right the first time. even if it doesn't go quite right the second time either 😜 (changing a second variable also instead of just the oil, then attributing the success to the oil)
it is a very old ice cube maker design, probably 1940's. you have to run hot water over it to get the ice to start to crack up, then you pull the lever to break it
Here's an idea... get an ice cube tray that doesn't require convoluted mechanisms? a simple plastic tray you can gently twist to break loose cubes. a "fancy" silicon soft bottom tray to help pop out cubes.
When water freezes it expands. Therefore i don't believe this product would ever work well due to the ice pressuring itself against the insert. Ice in a tray expands not just upwards after the surface is frozen, its more upward yes, but tension in the ice from pushing sideways would add tension to the cube, hence why your cubes split rather than be cubes. I'm shit at explaining stuff, but its science, kinda cool to learn about the properties of water/ice/steam/superchilled water
My grandparents still had ice trays like this when I was a kid in the 80s.. I used to fight with my brother and sister over who got to push the lever down after the water froze..
We used to have similars, but made fromm aluminum and without the lever (3rd world)... If you don't overfill them, just some torsion and all the ice cubes were free... But you have de freeze aluminum tray stick to your hands jajajajaja
I'd suggest leaving the lever up and then freeze it so that you can just put your weight into breaking the ice instead of relying on your finger strength.
Saw an official tutorial on these trays (these trays go way back to the 80’s I believe) and they said to run warm water over the tray then use the handle.
Yes, you can use oil but better to use veggie oil lightly then WIPE IT OUT. Veggie oil will not change the taste like other oils. But, those old ice trays were the bane of my youth (I am 73 years old now).
the form is made off alluminium.. alluminium spreads heat very well. so you can doo two things. . either let the ice tray out some minuts, and the heat in the room will spread trough the alluminium. . or running water on the underside. and maybe a little on the overside.. hitting the handle so it heats up the alluminium and the ice is released easyer. cold water should be able to do it. dont fill over the dividers who on eath thought oil is the correct solution. . no alluminium is the correct solution.
I was trying to have my autistic CZcams while I eat moment and I didn’t look at the time so now I got to find another great one of your vids so I can eat
If you want the ice tray to work, don't fill it up all the way.Only go up to the top of the aluminum not higher, so it's easier to crack the ice.Do not use grease or oil.You want oily wator gross
can't imagine needing a metal ice tray seen you struggling and i'm like ya just get a silicone ice tray or plastic if you prefer the cheap side but metal isnt the way i used to use plastic ice trays before i got a fridge with a ice maker/water dispenser
No Tyler, you were supposed to use synthetic 10W-30 high mileage because that's what works best in winter, duh. Seriously, who doesn't know how to oil their ice trays?
just dont fill it up too much. we have hd one since 1970 or maby few years before. too loosen the ice.. run some cold water on the underside. that will loosen the ice from the form.
Spraying oil on an ice cube tray to make it work is stupid. If they made this same tray out of the same non stick coating they use on pans it would work like a charm
Those trays made of heavy aluminum in the late 40s and 50s worked as smooth as silk. If you ever see any at an estate sale they bring a premium price as they know what they are. These light weight imitations are garbage. No need to lubricate or anything. Just a quick rinse under tepid water and no problem. Just rinse these under tepid water upside down for 2 3 seconds and use em.
If you need to oil up an ice tray for it to work, just get another ice tray.
Yeah this is a stupid product creating an extra problem.
@@nervousbabbs2769 Trust me, is isn't the product.

And now you’ll have oil in every drink you put those ice cubes in 😂
Oil in my ice.... Nice

Yea that's gross, if I have to spray it with oil then I'm all set

I came here to say this!!!🎉

Lol yeah, he changed two variables and completely ignored one of them
motor oil works best
💯👍
Preferably used if possible
90 weight gear lube them cubes LooooooooooooooooooL
Yeah, get the used oil from one of those CZcams channels where it's one oil change at 70,000 miles. Nice and thick.
@@wonyakomenuras1247 conventional or synthetic?
This goes against every single ounce of self proclaimed scientist in me. You can’t change two variables at the same time😭
I've made this mistake so many damn times!
No to oil,,,, was about the fill. Also heard that running warm water over it after you take it out was the old way i think?
cold running water on the underside. .
It was and still is
Putting oil on your ice cubes has the same energy as putting glue in your pizza cheese.
The only problem is that you overfilled, lmao. You didn't need oil.
Right lol. This is such a Tyler thing to do. "I did it completely wrong the first time. So this time I'm going to do it properly and add this completely unnecessary and counterproductive step." ...

And they were aluminum

The whole point of this ice tray is to be convenient… spraying with oil is not convenient.
phew, I was enviosioning Tyrle doing motor oil. :P

These videos are the best when you wanna release some stress but at the same time you gain some stress sometimes a lot depending on the video 😂

“I think going slow is the key. Oh, ok, I planned on going slow.” Said every man! 😂

Mmmmm, avocado oil flavored ice cubes, always what I wanted for my drinks.....lmfao
Oiled Ice is silly, good job guys! I love seeing Tyler do silly shit!

i thought how it worked was you just ran it under water from the faucet because it melts the ice enough where you can break it
I respect the going back and revisiting a test that maybe didn't go quite right the first time. even if it doesn't go quite right the second time either 😜 (changing a second variable also instead of just the oil, then attributing the success to the oil)

Back in the 50's and 60's those type of trays were all you had and if you did not over fill them they worked just fine!
Only he would use the oil to make ice😂😂😂❤❤❤
The oil will rise to the top and will do almost nothing in the area submerged in water. It is not a baking sheet

When frozen, you hit down on the handle first, thats how it worked for me the last time I used them in the 80s
I'm telling you, the old ones were great, and freeze handle up.
Then they don't stack properly.
I must be watching too much Tylertube videos. I was thinking motor oil before watching the video lol.
My grandparents still had ice trays like this when I was a kid in the 80s.. I used to fight with my brother and sister over who got to push the lever down after the water froze..
Yummy! Oily orange juice!!!
Nice, oily ice 😂💀💀💀
That way your ice does not taste like oil. You can also do a quick tap water on the top once you turn it over. Releases much better.
Worked great. Enjoy your oily iced beverage.
Oil on your ice tray never heard of it, but apparently apparently it works if I ever need to use that approach now I will!!!!!!
If you don't want oil in your drinks: run the frozen tray under warm water for a couple seconds, it loosens up all the cubes
We used to have similars, but made fromm aluminum and without the lever (3rd world)... If you don't overfill them, just some torsion and all the ice cubes were free... But you have de freeze aluminum tray stick to your hands jajajajaja
So glad there is oil in my drink!!!
This is def not what to do and all u have to do is run the tray in water for like 2 sec and then the ice comes out easily.
You need to test the new Flex Seal Flex caulk, said it works under water and no caulking gun.
Ooooo....oily ice cubes. YUMMMMMMM!!!
Next time on tylertube I make oil cubes in an ice tray. Then we see if adding water makes them better.
I'd suggest leaving the lever up and then freeze it so that you can just put your weight into breaking the ice instead of relying on your finger strength.
And now you got oil in your drink! Perfect~
Ah coming home from a hard day of work lemme just have a nice glass of oil infused lemonade 👍

If you want your ice cube tray to work, oil it up. That way you can have a nice oily cupy of OJ in the mornin
Yay silly man child is back
the trick is going superfast
I miss this garage.
id rather have hotdog water ice cubes
Mmmm i want some avocado ice cubes in my glass of water 😂
Oily drinks, lovely
My grandma had an super old one of these when I was a kid you don't need oil you just don't fill it past the metal cage thing in the middle

dont fill over the dividers
who on eath thought oil is the correct solution. . no alluminium is the correct solution.
well i guess, have u tried to put to freeze with that thing pulled up instead of laying down??
I do love oil in my drinks along with water, this is a great idea!
Mmmm. Oil flavored ice water.
I grew up with that, no oil, the problem is you overfilled it last time. Just pull no need to go slow. Brings back memories of the early 60’s
back in the day those ice trays were beefer. A good yank and you had ice.
We got bulking ice cubes before gta VI
I prefer using old school lard in my ice. Nothing like a good lard soda to keep you on the toilet
Mmmmm yes. Avocado oil flavored ice cream

Ice cubes coated in oil yummy
TYLER! I am concerned b/c you said Ice and oil
Dont overfill it and dip the base in warm water before cracking the ice
just dont fill it up too much. we have hd one since 1970 or maby few years before. too loosen the ice.. run some cold water on the underside. that will loosen the ice from the form.

a little hot water and it works perfect.
