How do you make the perfect ice ball?

All you have to do is fill it up to the fill line (almost to the brim), freezer for about 18-20 hours, slightly thaw, then just like the cooler method, break off the frozen bubbly bottom (I used a plastic mallet or a wooden spoon) and then pop your cubes out.

Does distilled water make clear ice?

Distilled water will give you slightly more clear ice, but any clean water should work. Put it in the freezer, leaving the lid off or removed. Check it after about 12–14 hours. If you’ve timed it right, you can get the ice out just before the cloud of bubbles starts forming at the bottom.
