I actually found that if you allow it to freeze all the way through, you get LESS clear ice, since you always end up with that stripy structure you can see at 1:38. It is really tricky to time it just right, but if you do, you get a larger block of clear ice; plus, it's a lot less work to cut it out. And also, you can put in the next batch sooner. If I had to guess, I'd say when the last parts of water freeze, it does so in columns, moving the water and the the bubbles around, and melting tiny spots in already frozen clear ice; then bubbles and impurities sorta climb up those spots. Don't know if it's correct of possible or even makes sence :)
Most videos say filtered or boiled water doesn’t make a difference. They clearly didn’t do the testing! Thank you. I just ordered those ice moulds from your bar tools video as I’m way too lazy to do the cooler thing
I didn’t have a thermometer for that. What I would say is, let’s say your freezer has gradations, put it at about 1/3 of the gradation. Does it make sense?
Fantastic video! It did get me thinking though if there would be a difference between boiling tap water vs filtered water and if distilled water would also provide interesting results… I need to try this! Passe une bonne fin de semaine!
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Ah thanks for the info! I don't have much in terms of a point of reference. I will say that I set my freezer at a low setting so it froze very slowly.
I find 36 hours in my freezer give me the thickness I want. I cut the ice with my oscillating saw, with a blade I only use for ice. To finish off the cubes, I heat up a frying pan and using tongs I can square off and polish the sides.
I replaced my freezer. The new freezer only needs 24 hours. I also purchased a clear ice cube maker tray, a lot less work. I still use the cooler method when I want a custom size cube.
Vidéo très intéressant et informatif! Je suis curieuse maintenant à savoir si de l’eau bouillie et filtrée donnerait un meilleur résultat. Si oui, est-ce que bouillie d’abord et ensuite filtrée est mieux que filtrée d’abord et ensuite bouillie ? Et par la suite je continuerais avec : deux filtrations plutôt qu’une ? une avant ébullition et une autre après ébullition ? Et c’est là que je m’arrêterais, deux ébullitions seraient de trop, car le goût changerait trop. Si j’avais le matériel pour le faire je le ferai :’(
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks that is the way. No matter how much effort you put in to give us a great video… there is always one more option the comment section comes up with. ;)
I just keep it in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. It will start to get freezer burnt, but it lasts a while. It will stay clear as long as you keep it though. Also, if you spray your cut ice with vodka, it will stop them from freezing together as much :)
Haven't seen the use of a torch on ice before - does that help to get cleaner edges? I've been using a heavy duty baking sheet to try and flatten each side but a torch seems quicker
In that case I used it to get rid of the little ripples left behind from the serrated knife. But you can also use a torch to accelerate the tempering process before cutting the big block
Hey, I have a question! I just bought a small Coleman cooler and my first batch of hopefully clear ice is freezing away. When it is frozen solid and I take it out; should I then temper it, and if so how long? I have a three-pronged icepick and I'd love for the block to crack as beautifully as it does in your video. Thanks for all the videos and all the information!
Have anyone tried vacuum boxes? In past there were boxes that had little pump to make vacuum inside. In theory it should suck the air from water during freezing.
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks well, water has the same freezing temperature hence ice should melt the same regardless of being clear or not. Now my curiosity jumped sky high :D
I get your point but my logic tells me that because the clear ice is more dense, chances are a 2x2 clear cube will take more time to melt completely than a cloudy one. That said, there’s probably also more water in a clear 2x2....
Cloudy ice is cloudy because of the tiny air bubbles trapped between water molecules, so water molecules are not compacted. In clear ice there is no air bubbles. Which means water molecules are more compacted and it’s more difficult to separate them so the ice can maintain its low temperature longer. From the physics perspective: ice cubes are held together by covalent bonds between water molecules. These are not strong bonds and energy (here room temperature) is enough to spread the molecules apart. In a cloudy ice, air bubbles are already disrupting those covalent bonds, so it takes even less energy for the water molecules to be spread, hence cloudy ice melts faster. Hope this helps !
Does anyone else get lines in their ice? I can cut along the lines, but if I go against the lines, it shatters. This only happens occasionally and to my knowledge I'm not changing anything in my technique

Holy moly that diamond was tight!! 💎
Ice press magic! :)
And you’re winning the Hennessy competition as well!
Thank you! We have an awesome community! If I win it’s thanks to you guys! Cheers
Awesome video :)
Go to sleep hyung
형을 여기서 보네요 ㅋㅋ
There are never enough videos about Ice !!! So thank you!
Wow!!! That’s insane! Normally I just do it the normal way but it makes total sense! 🤘🏼 cheers mate!
Thanks! Cheers

Another great technical video. Thanks JF.
Perfect weather to drink cocktils with crystal clear ice! Thanks for the details 🍸 cheers
Good luck for your competition!
Thanks a lot! Looking pretty good right now to move on to the last round! Thanks to you guys! Cheers
clear ice and Hennessy, go for it!!
Appreciate another ice video, really like it & you're winning the Hennessy contest Bro!
🔥🇲🇽

Great! I’m sure you will love em! Cheers
Nice… Boiled and filtered?
HAHA!!! I don't think it would be better than boiled only. I'll let you try it ;)
Very useful info, thank you!
Thank you!!!
Very useful tips!
Thanks 🙏
And medium/low temp in a freezer equals what temperature? :) My freezer is at -15 Celsius
I didn’t have a thermometer for that. What I would say is, let’s say your freezer has gradations, put it at about 1/3 of the gradation. Does it make sense?
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks a bit :) all my freezers do have temperature buttons.. But I can always make my own testing. Shouldn't be that hard :)
Have you tried to use boiled filter water ?
Awesome !
Dose the top have to be removed? Can't I just leave it open
If you have space in your freezer, of course you can simply leave it open
So if I boil tap water 3 minutes, let it cool to room temperature, put it in my silicone mold without a lid, put it in my freezer for about how long?
How do you store your clear ice cubes?
Do you filter the water before boiling?
I did not.
Crystal clear 💎 I love it!!! 🖤 Now...put me that on a ring hahahahaha
I,ll get you the real deal ;)
Fantastic video!
It did get me thinking though if there would be a difference between boiling tap water vs filtered water and if distilled water would also provide interesting results…
I need to try this!
Passe une bonne fin de semaine!
Hum! Boiled filtered water??? I should have tried it. Good call. Let me know if you try yourself. Cheers!
I’ll try it this weekend and keep you posted! Cheers
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks So I’m not sure if I botched it but out of a 6 inch high block I had to scrap about 1.75” worth; the rest (~4.25”) was clear.
@@Alex-gg2ws that seems pretty good to me. 6inch is not a lot to let the bubbles make their way down
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Ah thanks for the info! I don't have much in terms of a point of reference. I will say that I set my freezer at a low setting so it froze very slowly.

What temperature is medium low? I can set my freezer to an actual temperature?
What’s the coldest you freezer goes? If it’s -14 for example, I’d say medium low of that would be around -6 or -5
Vidéo très intéressant et informatif!

Clairement que je dois maintenant faire de nouveaux tests 😆
Hi, I've been wanting to ask for a couple videos now, what brand is your glasses, I really like its style :D
Hey Tim, it’s a designer from Montreal called Erlik
Was the boiled water also filtered? Or just tap water?
Boiled tap water. Some mentioned the idea of a rematch adding the filtered boiled water to the equation. I’m actually tempted 😆
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks that is the way. No matter how much effort you put in to give us a great video… there is always one more option the comment section comes up with. ;)
Once you get the clear ice, how can you maintain it? Like saving it for the day after or so
I just keep it in the freezer in a Ziploc bag. It will start to get freezer burnt, but it lasts a while. It will stay clear as long as you keep it though. Also, if you spray your cut ice with vodka, it will stop them from freezing together as much :)

Always temper the ice yes. That will help you
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks I did not, and I suffered for it XD Thanks for the tip and I will always remember from now on!
And what about filtered hot water ?
I guess I have to go back to the Lab now LOL
@@TrufflesOnTheRocks Merci !
😂😂😂 what a science teacher 😅😅😅
Have anyone tried vacuum boxes? In past there were boxes that had little pump to make vacuum inside. In theory it should suck the air from water during freezing.
Never heard of that. Sounds interesting

Lelit espresso machine ;)
Yessir! It's for sale btw ;)
I can’t help but notice that fancy coffee maker behind you on the counter. What is that thing? Make a video? Lol thanks!
It’s a Lelit. I had to sell it because we couldn’t bring it in France due to the electric system that is different. I’m still in pain 😂
Does anyone else get lines in their ice? I can cut along the lines, but if I go against the lines, it shatters. This only happens occasionally and to my knowledge I'm not changing anything in my technique
You didn't test filtered AND boiled water!? Next video!
Sure will 🤣
The answer is "Why not?"
HAHAHA!!! I like your attitude ;)
Had to go out of my way to dislike this video
