How Do You Cut a Big Ice Cube?

Published in Ice Preparation 1 min read

You can cut a big ice cube by scoring it with a knife and then applying pressure to break it along the scored line.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

  • Use a Knife: A knife is the primary tool for cutting a large ice cube.

  • Scoring: Score the ice cube where you want it to break. Score all the way around the ice cube along the desired line. This weakens the ice along that path.

  • Breaking: After scoring, you can gently apply pressure along the scored line to cause the ice to break cleanly. You can position the scored line over an edge to facilitate the break.

This method allows for controlled and relatively precise cutting of large ice cubes.
