Brilio.net - Many people routinely keep a stock of ice cubes at home, either for personal consumption or for sale. Usually, instead of using a small mold specifically for ice cubes, if you want to make a large portion, clear plastic is often the choice. When you want to take it, the ice cubes in the plastic can simply be broken and taken as needed.

However, storing ice cubes in plastic can sometimes be annoying. If they have been stored in the freezer for a long time, the ice cubes can become sticky and very difficult to remove. It is common knowledge that plastic easily sticks to frozen surfaces. One way that can be tried is to tap the bottom of the freezer shelf. However, this method requires patience because the tapping process is not only done once.

In addition, many people are impatient when they want to remove ice cubes, so they decide to pry the ice cubes from the freezer with a knife. The danger is, if the knife slips, it can scratch the refrigerator or even injure your hand. It is better to avoid using a knife to remove ice cubes that are stuck in the freezer.

To stay safe, fans of plastic-wrapped ice cubes must know the method shared by netizens on the YouTube account Zi Jagoan Chanel. According to him, instead of using a knife, it is better to just use a spoon to remove plastic-wrapped ice cubes easily.

"This method does not damage the refrigerator," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from YouTube Zi Jagoan Chanel on Thursday (6/11).

The method is to position the spoon horizontally while holding the neck of the spoon. Make sure you use your dominant hand, so that you have more power when removing the ice cubes later. Now, pry the bottom of the ice cube using a spoon until it comes off the refrigerator freezer shelf.

"This spoon is a lever to open the ice cubes," explained the owner of the YouTube account Zi Jagoan Chanel.

Once released, the plastic-wrapped ice cubes can be easily removed without sticking again. This method can also be used to remove other food items that are also sticky on the refrigerator freezer shelf. How, this method is safe without hurting or damaging the refrigerator, right?
