I love the Death Star! They really are a huge pain to unmold and if you can figure out a way to keep them from cracking let me know! I've tried everything I know and always get cracks.
I think they'd look pretty awesome if you put a drop of food coloring in them, then maybe you'd see all the details like with clear ice. I'd be too lazy for all of that but they do look awesome!
I have no idea why they cracked. I filled them completely full which was a mistake. Water expands up to 30% I guess when it freezes so I had to check it every hour because there was slushy water spilling all over my freezer. It's just 2 pieces of silicone that fit together and had a hole on the top to fill.
We use large mouth mason jars for drinking and they fit in those with plenty of room to spare. Not in the little jelly jars we use for the kids, but our glasses they do. And standard pint glasses or fancy drink glasses. I believe they are specifically designed to fit in high ball glasses because they take up most of the glass with just enough room for the liquor to be super chilled around it.
Amazon! I got the 4 pack of Death Stars but the cube only comes in singles. It's also a lot smaller then the Death Star is. It's about the size of 2x2 sugar cubes put together.

2 of them didn't crack at all...but I have no idea why because the other 2 did. Filling them is also a delicate balancing act ?
I had slushy water spilling out of the top and all over my freezer while it expanded. Oops.

If you use boiling water you get clear ice

That's really cool but why didn't you use clear ice?

It's a serious tragedy. Think how cool those would look with clear ice ?

I love the Borg cube! Just thought I'd say that because no one else has mentioned it?

They fit in standard glasses and tumblers. They are 3 inches in diameter I think? I believe they are technically considered whiskey stones?
