Why did I purchase a $30 ice cube tray? My husband has been complaining for some time about the large white flakes in our water. I purchased this product after I noticed that my plastic ice cube trays were rough and flaky at the bottom. I eventually realized that I had been consuming ice laden with plastic flakes for some time. Someone suggested that I just get new trays when that starts happening to the plastic, but it made me think...doesn't that mean that the process just starts all over again? The plastic is leeched out into the ice little by little each time a new tray is frozen until the bottom of the tray becomes coarse and flaky? I don't want plastic chemicals in my ice.
The only alternative to plastic available at this time:
When I started looking into alternatives for plastic ice cube trays, I found that the only choices were silicone, stainless steel, and aluminum. I am suspicious of using metal, and would have preferred something glass or ceramic, but I guess there is no way to crack the ice out of a glass tray. The aluminum trays were cheap, but aluminum is not a good choice for obvious reasons, and silicone isn't much better than plastic. I really did not want to pay $30 for an ice cube tray, but stainless steel was the best choice.
Results:
I have owned the tray for a few days now, and I can say that my ice water no longer has large flakes. Also, these ice cubes are much clearer than the ones that come out of a plastic ice cube tray. There is still a cloudy center, but it's smaller, and the rest of the ice cube is crystal clear where the plastic ones had a more frosted look throughout. The ice does not have a metallic taste. In all I got everything I expected from the tray and am satisfied with the purchase. My only complaint is that I really wish it was cheaper.
Use Instructions:
Thank you to the other commenters who gave advice on use of these trays. When I tried to crack the ice right out of the freezer it was difficult, 2 or 3 of the cubes shattered, and I felt like it was damaging the tray. There is a simple solution to this: Just wait a few minutes. Just pull it out of the freezer and come back to it five minutes later. Lifting the lever really is like cutting through warm butter. The only other problem this presents is that since the outside of the cubes are a bit wet from sitting out, they stick together a bit in the box. I have found this is no big deal, and they easily come apart. Yes this is an adjustment from the convenience of plastic trays, but I feel like waiting 5 minutes and slamming the ice a bit is worth it when you consider what we as a society have learned about the hazardous effects of plastic contamination in our food.
Someone mentioned the white lime buildup in the bottom of the tray (hard water). Their suggestion was vinegar. I just tried this with white distilled vinegar and can confirm it completely removed the white streaks on the bottom of the tray within 15 seconds. Thanks all :)
*Update 8/11/13: We recently bought a water distiller, and the distilled water does not leave the white residue in the bottom of the stainless steel ice cube tray. The white residue is apparently scale from hard water, and I'm glad I'm not driking it anymore! If you don't have a distiller, the white vinegar still works. Still love the tray, I actually bought a second.
I watched several of the stainless trays for some time, reading reviews and trying to sort out which I would take a chance on. These are not inexpensive trays and I didn't want to waste my money. My number #1 concern was that people said that the handles bent after one or two uses. I finally decided to take a chance, knowing that I could return them if they were cheaply made. I've used these trays for almost a week, filling and dumping the ice multiple times. I have had absolutely no indication whatsoever that either of my trays' handles might even be close to bending. These trays are super solid, including the handles. If I do have a problem in the future, I will definitely return and update.
I want to back up here and state that when my trays arrived, my jaw literally dropped when I pulled the first one from the box. As a child, I used the old aluminum trays at my grandparents' house, so I think my brain was conditioned to still remember how light those felt in the hand. "Light" does not apply to these Onyx 18/8 stainless steel trays. And to clarify, I would not say that these are too heavy, but simply that they are "heavy," as in "solid." The bottom part of the trays are thick and feel quite dense. That's what I wanted in a tray, and I am MORE than satisfied with this purchase.
The very first evening I had these, I filled them up, popped them in the freezer. I pulled them out a few hours later, making ice in them both twice before I went to bed that night. I had ZERO issues with cleanly getting the ice out with an easy lift of the handle. (No wrestling involved.) I filled the trays to just below the top of the ice dividers when I filled them with water. I recall how fractured ice was when I overfilled it in my grandparents' trays, so I learned then not to overfill. Even with using a lower level of water, I had more than enough ice from each tray. When I pulled the trays out to dump the ice, I didn't need to run water over them or leave them sitting on the counter for any length of time, as I wanted to see what would happen if I did that. I wanted to be able to report it here, since so many people reported needing to do those things. I have no idea if having hard water would make a difference, but just in case, I'll report that we have very mineral-rich (hard) water.
Again, I'm reviewing the " 2 of Onyx 18/8 Stainless Steel # ICE001 18 Slot Ice Cube Tray, Sold by: Pure Essence Health." I love these and I have every intention of ordering two more.

If the tray is full it’s almost impossible to break out the ice cubes. Just wait for 10-15 minutes at room temperature and they will break apart easily.
Leave it out a few minute's and the cubes will slide out easily.
Ice cubes never tasted better.
