re: Best containers for making large blocks of ice

I'd like to have - for ice chests - a large blocks of ice with minimal surface area. Cake-style pans are out. Essentially I'd like 8-9" cubes.

I used some Arizona tea jugs, and they lasted for a while until one burst and I had to Thaw my chest freezer out.

I'd like a sturdy container that can be filled, placed in my freezer and not worry about it splitting.
