A stationary tray melt-out ice maker for forming individual ice sections in a refrigerator. The tray has a plurality of crescent-shaped ice molding cavities and one arm of a rotatable harvesting comb is immersed in each ice molding cavity for freezing of ice with the arm embedded therein. Upon heating of the tray, the harvest comb is rotated such that the ice embedded arm sweeps the individual crescent-shaped ice from the molding cavities. Continued rotation of the comb causes the ice to contact stationary strippers which cause fracturing and stripping of the crescent-shaped ice from the arm and harvesting of two quarter round sections of ice from each crescent-shaped ice formation.
