Who's the ice maker in your household?

[bif]

I've maintained this forever. There's always one member of the family who assumes the duty of making the ice. (Refilling the trays). I'm the one in our family. I've let it go on purpose to see what would happen and it gets to the point where all four trays are empty. I finally suck it up and fill them up. My daughter is the one in her household. Seems like it's the dads unofficial duty in most houses.

7. At our house it's Mr Ellgee.

13. At mine it's La Frigidaire.

The ice maker is one of the great inventions of all time.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

15. The only way to go.

Also, must have good, gravity-fed crusher in the door.

3. WinCo

Aint nobody got space (or time) for that nonsense.

[Harker]

4. I hadn't thought much of it, but...

all of our ice cube trays have frozen Asian-style vegetable broth in them.

No frozen water here at all.

5. If I didn't refill the trays

They’d sit on the counter in the same place for the next ten years.

6. Frigidaire?

Refilling the trays doesn't 'make' ice.

Do you still use tap water in your ice trays?

Here, it is mandated that Crystal Geyser water must be used in the ice trays.

(I still use tap water to make tea, for myself only.)

14. Detroit has some of the cleanest water in the country

8. The built in icemaker

on which the "stop, bin full" does not work. Two times I've forgotten to flip the off lever and had an entire freezer full ice cubes that cascade out on to the floor.

Like mentioned above, the ice cubes trays are used for freezing homemade veg stock and also lactose-free milk for cat treats.

Before I had an built in icemaker, I was The Icemaker.

9. Me usually

What drives me nuts is when someone leaves a mostly empty tray in the freezer. Use it all and fill it up!

10. Don't Need One

We've had a fridge with an ice maker for at least 35 years.

11. me

it was me when we had trays and it is me now that I have a counter top ice maker. thing is great, can make several weeks worth of ice in a day if I pay attention. if I don't, it melts and recycles until somebody empties it into a bag or more usually old gallon plastic ice cream buckets.

but even when we had trays we had a storage bucket for ice, nobody took a few out of a tray and left them or left empty trays.

12. It used to be me.

But I was lax in my duties so my wife bought a refrigerator with an ice-maker.

I'm not an ice lover. I'm not even sure I'd have a refrigerator if I was living by myself.

[CTyankee]

16. We have had an icemaker for so long I can't remember when we got it. But when our old refrigerator diied, an automatic

icemaker was mandatory for us. It's been working fine for many years (maybe 15).

17. Ice making isn't a job title in this household

I don't like ice in my beverages.


When there's a restaurant involved I always request "no ice, please" for my beverage.


If ice is needed in a food cooler for a road trip, I just buy a bag or two.

[Emile]

18. My wife and I share the responsibility.

[La Coliniere]

19. Who ever has used the last cube. Seems to work.

[Dulcinea]

20. The built-in icemaker.

But I remember using ice cube trays. Whoever used the last cubes was responsible for refilling it.
