Getting rid of air bubbles is harder, if you had an evacuated freezing chamber as in a lab, it would be a snap. You could freeze under vacuum. <br /><br />Things you might try at home: Gases dissolve better in cold water than in hot water. But you can't "degas" water by starting hot because enough time passes for the air to re-equilibrate with the cooling water on the way to freezing. What you need is an airtight ice cube tray -- one that you could put hot water in and stick in the freezer. No air could enter as it cooled. This should eliminate bubbles. <br /><br />Heh, I use tricks like this to introduce or eliminate bubbles from my plastic work. chickelithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10773887469972534979noreply@blogger.com
