This is an easy-to-use ice maker that makes new cubes from recycled water. There is a 10-minute wait for ice cubes to form, which some may see as a drawback, but it’s a great little appliance for RVs and other places where there’s no room for a full-size freezer. Because it’s not a freezer, however, the ice must be transferred somewhere else before it melts.

For the purpose of making "regular" ice cubes at home, there are several things to consider. Basically, you are looking for a tray that allows you to extract the ice easily and one that doesn’t impart distasteful odors — or freezer-burn — to the cubes. You’ll also want trays that let you pop out ice easily unlike those awful hard plastic ones from your youth.

Using the ice cream setting, I made a tangerine, pineapple, and mango sorbet. I even hid a serving of carrots in the sorbet, and my kids had no idea they were eating ice cream with carrots in it. I did the same with smoothies.

“Trois” was directed by Rob Hardy, with whom Packer once ran the now-defunct Rainforest Films, which they founded as college students in 1994. Half of Packer’s 20-film resume originated from this company, until it was dissolved in 2014. Soon after, the producer launched Will Packer Productions, expanding his output into television and inking a multi-year first-look production agreement with Universal. He would immediately leave a mark with the first film produced under that agreement, uniting Kevin Hart and Ice Cube for the 2014 action-comedy “Ride Along,” an unexpected blockbuster made for $25 million that would go on to gross over $134 million domestically. That success made the case for Hart as a new A-lister — and now, he has starred in six of the last 11 movies that Packer has produced.
