If you run out of ice - just fill up a very clean white plastic bag with water - tie tightly - you may have to double up on the bags - put in freezer and out comes a big ball of ice. Smash with hammer - Enjoy

Well I never knew that freezers could do that! What a time to be alive...

I would end up with bits of ice everywhere but where it should be.

[jennyjoan]

no you wouldn't Tiggs - smash it when it is inside the bag - the shards go everywhere in the bag. Brilliant

I never use ice. Besides...if I needed any, I could just chip off the build up in my freezer.

The trouble with putting water in a bag and tying it up is that you will get creases and then it is nearly impossible to get the ice out without lumps of plastic. I'd suggest using tupperware tubs and only putting about an inch of water in the bottom. You can then sit it in a bigger tub of warm water to release the block. Then you can start smashing it with a hammer.

Although I'm never that desperate for ice.
