Abstract
In an ice maker with a tray having at least one water-receiving cavity, a wall of the cavity contains a phase change material. If an ice maker of this kind is pre-cooled, so that the phase change material is solid, a great deal of heat can be removed from water poured into the cavities in a short time by the heat causing the phase change material to melt.
