I actually don't like the stone ones. They leave sediment and affects the flavor. Stainless is the way to go.

[@yavuzy7798]

Any metal (be it stainless steel, aluminium or even gold) has a much lower heat capacity than water. Which means, they will store much less energy inside compared to traditional ice made from water. Which means, these metal ice cubes should not be able to cool anything down as much and as quick as traditional ice cubes same size. However, these metal cubes may have actual water or other fluid inside them (which is most probably the case) as they would be very heavy if if they were solid metal, as metal has approximately 8 times higher density than water. So yeah, conclusion, the cubes are hollow inside and are mostly consisting of water (or other dense fluid) contained inside a thin layer of stainless steel. Ergo, you think it is the metal that is cooling, but in the end, you have traditional water inside that actually cools your drink :)

[@paulstoker47]

Stainless steel actually absorbs heat efficiently as well. So if you ever want to drink a hot tea or coffee but it's way too hot, just add 1 or 2 of those cubes. This can also prevent a glass cup from shattering due to heat from hot drinks.

Never mind the thermal mass, the real cool chemistry here is knowing that melting is an endothermic process, and only the ice melts in the drink and therefore that's another hit towards ice cooling the drink more effectively.

[@homelessrobot]

they will work, but half of the magic of ice cubes is that they change phases between working and not. This is an energy storage mechanism that works 'on top' of thermal mass. It takes more energy to freeze water than to chill it. You have to put i the energy to get the water to freezing temperature and then a little extra to actually freeze the ice. That extra energy is both stored and released in the phase shift, as specific thermal capacity. It goes 'in' as heat, because its resisting the cold's ability to freeze it. It comes out as extra heat capacity as it melts, giving it the ability to absorb more heat from the environment.

Just so everyone knows, in terms of actually keeping your drink cold, ice cubes of any type other than water are actually worse than water. It has to do with the specific heat capacity, which is basically how much heat (or inversely, cold) a substance can hold. And water can hold much more cold than things like metal or stone can, meaning it keeps your drink colder for longer!

내가 말하고 싶은 것.

[@vanchark]

Usually these have water inside them

[@micahsilverman5284]

These cubes generally have a gel in them very similar to an ice pack that has a higher heat capacity than water

[@TLguitar]

If these are entirely of stainless steel, you have to remember that they are almost 8 times as dense, meaning that the total heat capacity for a given volume, without accounting for phase change (as ice requires quite a lot of energy, i.e. latent heat, to turn liquid at the 0 Celsius mark), almost evens out with that of ice. It also conducts heat much faster. So if you let an ice cube of a given volume completely melt inside your drink, that would chill your drink considerably more, but that also defeats the purpose of not diluting your drink. Now, I'm not sure how many of them are actually a solid block of stainless steel. It seems they are usually filled with some gel that doesn't go through phase change, has a nominal specific heat still quite lower than water's and is not very dense.

@@MichaelHarto These things will cool significantly less effectively than standard ice cubes. You're not gonna get two cold drinks out of one set of 4. You also can't accumulate extra metal cubes without going out and buying more. You have to wash them and stick them in the freezer for multiple hours again.

[@tabora_]

I get that the metal gets cold faster but damn imagine breaking your favorite glass on one of those 😭😭😭

[@AmandaNavarro]

I remember watching a video comparing metal ice cubes to regular ice cubes, and apparently metal doesn't stay cold nearly as long as regular ice. So although it's an alternative, it wouldn't be worth it if you have regular ice cubes at your disposal. An even better alternative would be plastic ones though.

[@kickbuttowski8201]

Ice cubes have both latent heat of fusion and specific heat, whereas metal cubes only have specific heat for chilling usage. Also metal cubes can crack or damage your teeth when you accidentally take a sip No way I'm buying

[@allampatisubbaratnamma6836]

any natural material don't has higher specific heat than water ,this means water (Or any phase of it)need more time to cool or more time to become hot coz it stores more heat per unit rise in temperature than any material

I just put lemon slices in the freezer instead. Works great

Steel has about 89% the volumetric heat capacity of water. The specific in heat capacity is technically much worse, but if you don't mind a heavy cup, steel is the best thermal mass that doesn't melt at room temperature for how much of your drink it displaces.

[@elishab6521]

Does it give an off taste though? I usually can't use metal straws because of the metallic taste it leaves in my mouth

[@cuteakoya]

I haven't personally tried it but I think it is made with the same material used on spoons & forks so they don't have any weird aftertaste..Just make sure it's good quality

[@delcodvd5669]

Its stainless steel, One of the most non reactive materials you could possibly make stuff with. it'll probably just taste the same as regular ice just as long you don't use extremely acidic drinks or scratch it

Nothing works better than ice because of the energy involved in the phase change between solid and liquid makes the drink far far cooler than anything else can. If the steel cubes have water inside of them it can work a little bit better, but nothing compares to good old ice.

They work, but they don't keep your drink cold for nearly as long. Ice is always the same temperature, there's just less of it over time. Metal or stone warms up over time, so your drink will get warm too.

It shouldn’t unless you touch them, one of the properties of metal is that it doesn’t have a taste, what you taste and smell on pennies and other coins is the oil of your skin reacting with the metal to make a chemical that does have an odor and taste but when those stainless steel cubes are in a drink you shouldn’t be able to taste that residue
