RYCORE Monogrammed Letter S Silicone Ice Cube Tray: Large Whiskey Ice Molds, Alphabet Chocolate Molds, Unique Shapes for Crafts

Does the black color of the mold affect the color of the ice or the other creations made using it?

Is this brand Siligrams or Rycore? There are 2 brand names in this ad? Is one of them a counterfeit?

How easy is it to remove the ice block from this silicone ice cube mold? I've had difficulties in the past with other silicone ice cube trays.
