Not sure whether to file as chemistry or physics, since I’m not sure if it’s because the ice is somehow binding to the plastic/glass, or if it has to do with it being a “perfect fit” in terms of imperfections… or if it’s something else entirely
In: Chemistry
Large chucks of ice retain a colder temp at the core. As ice is pressed against the side of the vessel the outside melts into water but re-freezes once it chills the surface. Small chunks won’t do this, as they do not retain a cold enough core to get the surface cold enough to re-freeze the initial melt.
