Effortless ice service for entertaining

Hosting a casual dinner, a summer barbecue, or a cocktail night becomes easier when ice is both accessible and well presented. The OXO Steel Ice Bucket and Tongs Set blends practical design with a sleek, modern look that suits kitchens, bars, and outdoor tables alike. The double-wall construction keeps the ice cold and minimizes condensation on the outside, so you can keep the vibe clean and the surface dry as guests move from drink to drink.

Inside the bucket, deep channels guide melted water away from the remaining cubes. This thoughtful detail helps you maintain a batch of ready-to-use ice without the constant drip-back. You will notice the difference when you are entertaining at pace and want to keep a small stash of ice at the ready for each round of drinks.

Easy access and steady service

The clear lid is designed for one-handed operation. With a simple flip to open and a secure close to finish, you can reach for ice while keeping your other hand free—ideal when you are juggling a shaker, a bottle, or a tray. The bucket sits on a non-slip base, which helps keep the setup stable on slick countertops or busy bars alike.

Locking tongs are included and attach neatly to the bucket sides. The tongs feature teeth that grip ice cubes securely, reducing spills and making serving smoother from bucket to glass or tumbler.

Practical capacity and versatile style

With a 4-quart capacity, this set offers a practical amount for mid-size gatherings, whether you are serving chilled lemonade, cocktails, or simple water over ice. The steel finish has a clean, contemporary aesthetic that blends with most decors—from a home kitchen to a professional bar—so you can leave the setup out on display without feeling out of place.

Real-life use scenarios include hosting a relaxed brunch where guests top their own sparkling beverages, a cocktail party with a quick ice check between rounds, or an outdoor get-together where a steady, drip-free station helps keep the table neat and inviting. The combination of ice retention, drip control, and convenient access supports smooth service without locking you into one style of entertaining.
