Aluminum won't react with water, as such, so I think the ice cubes are safe. I love these things, by the way, and have been picking them up on eBay. They beat the cheap plastic ones all to hell in terms of functionality.

Haven't seen them for a long time. Now you get the flexible silicone trays for easy removal of ice shapes. Revolutionary heat resistant non stick material........ Have to look on fleamarkets for the old ones! I also remember, my grandparents used them. Haven’t seen them for a long time. Now you get the flexible silicone trays for easy removal of ice shapes.

My grandparents had those trays in use in their house when I was a kid. I remember the crunching sound made by pulling up the lever and how the frozen metal would always stick to my fingers. Thanks for that. Those brought me back.
