11. Try Rinsing The Trays Under Cool Tap Water...
... before you twist them. The ice will still remain frozen, but you'll be able to raise the temperature of the plastic just enough that it will not be so brittle. (At least not as brittle as it is when you first take them out of the freezer.)

You'd think that modern science would be able to solve this problem! I wonder if there are any silicone ice trays (but I'm sure they would be hard to fill and transport to the freezer).

What we really need are ALUMINUM ice trays with heavy duty HANDLES that you pull to crack apart the ice. I'm surprised nobody has come up with something like that yet.
