You didn't read my post (or don't remember) where I published the
remedy for plastic ice cube trays that stick... coat the inside very
lightly with salad oil and let sit over night, then hand wash with
dishwashing liquid. The oil will become part of the plastic so will
release ice easily, and should last several years before having to
treat the tray again. Some new trays release because the silicone
release agent that's sprayed into plastic injection molds hasn't been
removed... it's always a good idea to wash all new plastic food
containers before use... all new kitchen equipment should be washed
well before use.
