I went to eBay and found a set of three (total $12.00) stainless steel "food prep" trays, roughly 9x5x2" (LxWxH). I fill them with DI water and freeze them. I also inherited a larger stainless steel container that's 12.5x10.5x4.5" - same deal, DI water and freeze. I face blocks, put them on the ice and add a little DI water and soak for 10-15 minutes - blocks cut like a dream! They stay frozen for a l - o - n - g time! Try a local restaurant supply.
