ABSTRACT:
An inexpensive and easily utilized apparatus is provided for producing molded ice structures of improved clarity. The apparatus is comprised of at least two contoured sidewalls adapted to be releasibly joined at flat peripheral flanges to define a supported enclosure having an upwardly opening extremity bordered by a horizontally disposed flat rim. A thin flexible water-impermeable envelope contoured to match the interior configuration of the enclosure is adapted to be inserted into said enclosure in a manner such that the mouth opening of the envelope is draped across said rim. A thermally insulative cover is adapted to rest upon the sidewalls whereby the mouth of the envelope is held in sandwiched engagement between the cover and rim. In a method of producing ice structures from said apparatus, the assembled apparatus filled with water is placed in a freezing environment. The sidewalls are then separated and the envelope is peeled off the ice structure.
