A freezer tray unit that houses removable inserts with various cavity shapes. This unit can be used to make ice in an unlimited number of shapes, by simply changing the inserts. This unit is made up of several kit contents. The quantities required for one kit are the body (1), slotted rod (1), bottom tray (1), releasers (8), and inserts (8). The unit utilizes two mechanisms for ice removal. One mechanism removes ice from individual inserts. Features responsible for this mechanism are the insert guard, slotted rod, releaser, and bottom tray. Another mechanism removes ice from all the inserts simultaneously. The ice removal features utilized in this mechanism are the insert guard, ice guard, slotted rod, and releaser. The inserts can be utilized independently in refrigerators for effective space management. Also, the inserts may be utilized for making baked products in ovens.

1. A freezer tray unit for producing ice or gelatin dessert product comprising: an insert for containing the ice or gelatin dessert product, the insert defining an open end, and a cavity in fluid connection with the open end, the cavity having a wall, the wall defining an insert slot extending from the open end; a body comprising a compartment adapted to receive the insert, the compartment having an open compartment end; a removable releaser adapted to be partially received in the insert slot, comprising a section for extending into the insert slot through the open end and a grip external to the insert slot for applying a pressure to remove the section from the insert slot when the releaser is partially received; and an insert guard connected to the open compartment end for restraining the insert from removal from the compartment when the pressure is applied to the grip to remove the section extending into the insert slot. 2. The freezer tray unit of claim 1, wherein the section of the releaser has a surface tapering with increased extension into the insert slot towards the cavity for engaging the ice or gelatin dessert product when the releaser is partially received. 3. The freezer tray unit of claim 2, wherein; the insert guard is a flange. 4. The freezer tray unit of claim 3, further comprising: a slotted rod, the slotted rod defining a rod slot adapted to partially receive and suspend the releaser in the rod slot when the section extends into the insert slot; and wherein the slotted rod displaces the grip in a direction away from the insert slot when a rod pressure is applied to the slotted rod to extract the section from the insert slot. 5. The freezer tray unit of claim 4, wherein the slotted rod further comprises an element, wherein the element occludes in part or in whole the path of the ice or gelatin dessert product when the rod pressure is applied to the slotted rod to extract the section extending into the insert slot. 6. The freezer tray unit of claim 5, further comprising: an ice guard attached to the body for occluding the path of the ice or gelatin dessert product in the cavity when the section is extracted from the insert slot. 7. The freezer tray unit of claim 6, wherein: the body defines a closeable opening through which the insert may be removed; and the opening may be made closeable by means of a tray slideable in a track connected to the body. 8. The freezer tray unit of claim 7, further comprising: a plurality of said inserts; a plurality of said compartments, each of said compartments receiving at least one said insert; a plurality of said releasers, each releaser for reception in an insert slot of said inserts; a plurality of said insert guards, each said insert guard connected to one of said compartments; and a plurality of said ice guards; wherein the slotted rod defines a plurality of rod slots, each rod slot adapted to partially receive and suspend one of said releasers in the rod slot when the section of the one of said releasers extends into the corresponding insert slot; and the slotted rod displaces the grip of each said releasers in a direction away from the insert slots when the rod pressure is applied to the slotted rod to extract the sections of the said releaser from the insert slots.
