[snip]Two, make sure your hands aren’t damp when you pull the trays out of the freezer, because your hands will freeze to them; a most unpleasant experience.

That is my fond memory of them.
Being a kid, I thought it was kind of cool.

You might want to get silicone ones. Mine stack fine. They’re practically indistructible, and it’s easy to get the cubes out, since the walls are soft. I don’t know if you can order these, being in Japan, but they look really cool, too.

I have some silicone ones from Ikea. They’re fun shapes - arrows, X’s, long bars - and the ice just pops right out without me having to fight with them. Much more fun than the regular plastic ice cube trays.
I use theseplastic bags that fill up with water, are tied closed. When you need ice, you just tear the bags open.
They are nice when you have a small freezer. You can stack as much bags on top of eath other as you like, but if you don’t need ice (and in the Netherlands we only need ice in drinks in August) you don’t have all these ice-trays taking up freezerspace.
