How To Freeze Ice Cubes Quickly: Factors And Tips To Know

Freezing time for ice cubes depends on the freezer temperature, the volume and shape of the ice cubes, and the material of the ice cube tray. Typically, it takes 2-4 hours to freeze 1-inch ice cubes in a freezer set to 0°F (-18°C). Silicone trays freeze ice cubes more quickly than plastic or metal trays. Smaller ice cubes freeze faster than larger ones, and clear ice cubes freeze more slowly than cloudy ones.
