I wanted clear ice balls & after some work, I got them. Here's how
I really wanted crystal clear ice spheres with as little haze as possible. After a number of experiments I have come to this routine: - Boil distilled water for at least 5 minutes. - Put a lid on the boiling water and let sit still for about 20 minutes with the heat off. - Gently slide the bottom mold into the water; tipping it in and rolling it flat. - Gently remove the bottom mold and place the top mold pushing down until the rim around the sides touches the bottom mold rim. Water should come out the top holes. - Place in freezer gently so air bubbles don't get into spheres. - Let freeze for about two hours until there is a thick crust of frozen water, but the inside is still liquid. - Pierce the outside of the ice ball with an injector (see below) to gain access to the liquid; make the hole large enough for air to get in. - Pour or suction out the liquid water with the injector. - Use the injector to draw in some of the excess boiled distilled water and Inject it into the same hole in the ice sphere made for the water removal. - Return to freezer for 4 or 5 hours. It takes a long time and is somewhat intensive, but one or two out of each batch are nearly perfect. The failed ones can be used as a starter for the next batch. Save them until you have four clear-but-broken ones and place them into the bottom mold cavities before step four above.
