I want a fast way to make, say, 1000 perfectly clear ice cubes in a week.
I was thinking of the top-down freezing method because it seems efficient and not time consuming.
What do you anons suggest?

You can either do it fast, or you can do it right. It's up to your discretion.
Chase Murphy
How do you recommend making them, my good sir?
Angel Fisher
Aren't clear cubes just devoid of excess air?
Sebastian Thompson
Yes
Ryan Morales
Why do you need these anyways
Easton Smith
So let it sit in the fridge then move it to the freezer?
James Brooks
Take a cooler small enough to fit in your freezer. Fill with water and put it in lidless. Remove it when there's still an inch of water unfrozen at the bottom (time varies by freezer and cooler size). Empty out the water.
Cut ice into desired shapes with a knife you don't mind ruining.
If you are lazy and have money, buy an ice chest.
Justin Scott
isn't there some trick with using hot water or something?
Brody Morgan
Boil the water and freeze it.
Clear ice cubes.
Thomas Scott
Tried it, doesn't work. Although, I think I was supposed to cover the ice tray with seran rap....
Carter Hernandez
No you are thinking of making it freeze faster
Ian Allen
Thank you, my good sir
:)
They look much nicer than cloudy ice cubes

You need distilled water.
You need to boil it first.
Ayden James
Yeah, let me just boil 1000 ice cubes worth of water. twice.
> efficient and not time consuming
Jason Bailey
You have to put a few cap fulls of bleach in your ice tray to make crystal clear ice cubes
Matthew Cox
I just use a regular pan. It freezes from the bottom up.
And I use a screwdriver instead of a knife to get irregular shapes, but if you want specific shapes, you just need to score it with a serrated blade.

>Tried it, doesn't work.
congrats, you literally failed at boiling water. I bet you microwaved it
Cameron Cox
it is efficient and not time consuming. Not sure why you think otherwise, and worse, why you refuse it, since it's the answer you asked.
Mason Russell
Boiling water and then freezing it doesn't actually work the way you think it does
Just google any video made by a bartender
here's one to start

Distilled water isn't safe for drinking
Xavier Long
In what way?
Blake Watson
lol wut
Brandon Murphy
Distilled water is perfectly safe to drink.
What you shouldn't do is drink gallons of distilled water and nothing else.
Joseph Foster
The bottles all say "not safe for drinking"
Zachary Parker
Wait maybe I'm thinking of de mineralised water
Aaron Cruz
Why?
Thomas Ward
Use your brain man!
Nolan Davis
You can die
Isaac Anderson
Distilled water is "pure" water; the salts have been removed. Which means if you drink a lot of it, and nothing else, you will remove essential electrolytes (they're what plants crave) from your body.
Alexander Murphy
This thread is making me so fucking hard.
Oliver Bell
No they don't, you're retarded.
Distillation is an extremely basic purification process and has also been used to desalinate seawater for thousands of years.
Demineralized water can be unsafe if you run it through a municipal water supply but only because it leeches metals from the pipes more readily.
William Gray
Jonathan Peterson
Fuck you.
Easton Cox
Could you not have at least linked to the WHO article he cites, rather than that twatty rambling blog post?
Ryan Baker
Fuck off, shill.
Juan Murphy
I didn't even read it desu
Michael Robinson
The super low concentration of solutes wil give you explosive shits, shouldnt matter if you use them as icecubes tho
