Abstract

A container for freezing liquids and storing ice has a chamber defining multiple regions to improve ice-making by forming and storing ice simultaneously and facilitating the transfer of ice between a freezing region and a storing region of the container without introducing new contaminants. The regions are separable by a reclosable divider fastener that, when closed, isolates liquid in the freezing region from ice in the storing region. Ice frozen in the freezing region can be sanitarily transferred to the storing region, such as by opening the reclosable divider fastener by grasping and manipulating only the exterior portions of the container. Optionally, the container may be designed to allow forming multiple batches of ice in the freezing region and moving them into the storing region until ready for use.
