Regular Ice Cubes Retire And Ice Balls Take Off
Orblue claims that watering spirits down will no longer be a concern. Ice ball also chills fast and keeps the original taste and consistency of the drink. How can all these happen at once?
Online, July 26, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Orblue, a kitchen products company, has noticed a demand for creative and useful alternatives to chill spirits. An increasing number of people is seeking alternatives to the high melting rate ice cubes and is also noticing the silicone ice ball maker as the best and most affordable option.
Companies from all around United States brought onto market fancy chillers such as the whiskey chilling rocks and the stainless steel cubes, which are both disappointing their customers so far. Since metal and rocks have lower thermal capacity than liquid, it is much more likely that these devices reach the beverage's temperature than the opposite happens. To be straight, Orblue realized that the most effective chiller is ICE.
Yes, ice is still the number one when it comes to chilling any beverage. On the other hand, regular cubes are the main responsible for watering drinks down at a fast rate. To explain that, it all comes down to its surface shape. Having 8 vertices and 12 edges, ice cubes tend to melt faster, since these are the areas most exposed to the liquid, and therefore more susceptible to heat exchange.
One way to avoid such a drawback is by using ice balls instead of ice cubes. The ice ball's uniform surface has uniform interaction with the liquid and this leads to a standard melting rate all over its contact area, since it has no edges. Nowadays there is no need to either be any kind of kitchen professional or have expensive devices to make these large ice balls. It can be easily made with a silicone ice ball maker or ice ball mold.
Orblue just brought to public the Ice Orbs. These are premium silicone ice ball makers that are already helping people be more confident, creative and elegant when serving their spirits as well as their guest's, while having fun doing it at home. And to top that off, unlike Macallan ice ball press that can reach the 4-figure price, the original Ice Orbs were meant to be affordable to every individual, costing less than $20 each.
Leonardo Larocca, the company's CEO, says that "with so many potential benefits from using ice balls, it is not difficult to explain why its demand had a major increase in such a short period of time". He also mentions that he was impressed with how creative people could be using the ice ball maker: "The only limitation is your imagination. You can freeze whole fruits, leaves or even flowers to make it [the ice] even more beautiful", "... the possibilities are endless", he concludes.
The process of making ice balls is as convenient as making ice cubes. Plus the outcome is a large ice sphere that is not only beautiful and attractive but also a highly effective chiller.
