These soapstone ice cubes sure give new meaning to "on the rocks." (Sorry, we couldn't resist.) The blocks can be frozen to keep your drink cold without meltoff dilution. We were a little skeptical about how useful they would actually be, but then we saw that they can be heated as well to keep your drink hot. That's rather intriguing. Has anyone ever tried these soapstone "ice" cubes, and if so, what did you think? ($16.95 at Greenfeet)




If you're drinking so slowly that your ice is totally melting, you are not nearly enough fun at parties.

I don't have room in my apartment for silly things like this.

Clearly, this wouldn't take up any more space than ice cube trays in your freezer, and probably less. I would love to know what it's like to use them. I don't think it would be very pleasant to feel those hard edges come sliding up against your teeth as you get to the bottom of a drink. And are they hard enough to scratch your glasses?

My very first thought was exactly as AMLitt said, "I don't think it would be very pleasant to feel those hard edges come sliding up against your teeth as you get to the bottom of a drink."
My second thought was that if the corners and edges were smoothed over just a bit, I'd love to try them. Especially since I'm always wishing my hot drinks would stay hot longer. (And no, I will NOT get an electric cup warmer - what if I want to move around? Don't like the idea of insulating covers, either. Though a perfectly fitting lid or two might be nice....)

Soapstone is pretty soft stuff, so I think this might actually work. Initially, I had the same response as most of you guys - worrying about having a rock clanging into my teeth, but the I think that this could also be done with a plastic coated material that holds heat/cold well.

I have a lot of nice, round, small beach stones. Do you think those would work, as well?

Oh - I had some of these, and I didn't like them at all. I would accidentally bite them, and they had sort of scratchy edges. I was constantly worried about damaging my teeth.
