HIC Kitchen's Ice Pick with Safety Cover chips and breaks up blocks of ice to chill drinks and cocktails. Larger ice chunks melt slower than chips or cubes and won't water down drinks as quickly. Simply tap the point of the Ice Pick across the slab or block of ice to etch a shallow groove. Position the point at the center of the groove and tap firmly, downward. Continue tapping at the same spot until the ice block breaks in half along the groove. Repeat these steps to create smaller pieces. Store the chunks in an ice bucket to preserve them longer. Great for breaking blocks of chocolate or using as a hole punch on wood and leather, too. A unique addition to barware, HIC's Ice Pick adds a bit of flare when chilling and serving beverages and cocktails at every dining occasion, like holiday meals, party buffets, or outdoor entertaining.
