Why we love this deal

On a hot day, few things are more satisfying than a big, frosty slushie. Whether you're a Slurpee die-hard or #TeamIcee, slushies are one of those treats worth making the trip to your local convenience store for. With this innovative slushie cup, you can make one anytime, in as little as two minutes.

The $24 Honbuty Slushie Maker Cup is on sale at Amazon for only $10, and it's one of my favorite kitchen gadgets at any price. Like many of the greatest kitchen gadgets, it's deceptively simple to use and makes excellent frosty treats.

Why do shoppers love it?

If you've ever made homemade ice cream before, you likely made it by placing a canister in the freezer overnight, which is where dairy, sugar, and other ingredients get whipped into thick, delicious ice cream. This slushie cup works using a similar approach, granted, in a much smaller and more convenient form factor. The inside of the pinch cup is filled with a special silica gel, which freezes in as little as four hours in any home freezer. When you're ready for a slushie, simply pluck your cup out of the freezer, pour in your favorite sweet beverage, and massage the pinch cup for a couple of minutes. You'll watch liquid become thick and frosty before your eyes, transforming it into a super refreshing slushie.

It doesn't just work with soft drinks. It also freezes dairy, sugar, and flavorings into milkshakes, or fruit and juice into smoothies. You'll have much better and much thicker results with sweet beverages, but even diet soda and low-sugar drinks provide fair results. Each slushie cup comes with an innovative accessory that doubles as a spoon and a straw, so you can enjoy your drink whether you're a slurper or a scooper. And while this is the sort of gadget that may be designed with kids in mind, adults will love using this to make frozen daiquiris and margaritas.

Details to know

Dimensions: 3.9 inches long by 3.9 inches wide by 8.3 inches high.

I usually keep mine parked in the freezer, so it's always ready to make a slushie at a moment's notice. At this price, I'd suggest buying two, or even a handful, considering they're such a hit at dinner parties and get-togethers.
