Ice
is a curious thing - we all think: "ice ... frozen water"
... simple. Yet there are many different ways in which we come into
contact with ice. Ice is very versatile and handling it can be difficult.
For example, we can do all the following with ice:
shape
it - into cubes using trays of water in a freezer or into nuggets using
a portable ice maker
crush it - with an ice crusher (manual or electric)
sculpt it - using moulds (often used for large decorative ice sculptures
at wedding receptions, corporate dinners)
shave it - using an ice shaver
break it up - using an ice pick or chipper
