Silicone Ice Pop Molds and Popsicle Maker, Set of 6, Assorted Colors, Plus 60 Recipes Ebook

I got these since TJ stopped making their peach pops and my little one was addicted to them. I wish this came with some kind of holder so when you fill it you're not accidentally squeezing too hard and juice is going everywhere. Also a holder would be nice for the freezer. You can't like them on their side for they will leak. I ended up putting them in one of those plastic faux popcorn box containers, but something that was meant to hold these molds up would have been ideal. And they are pretty big...better for adults and not really toddler sized.

I wanted this style popsicle mold so I could make healthy pops that don't drip. These fit the bill, and are pretty reasonable in price.What I love: It is safe in the dishwasher and food safe. Those are indispensable qualities. They don't drip. Yeah. I let a crew of kids eat berry popsicles on my couch while watching Frozen. No stains. Awesome.What I like: The colors are bright. The caps are not attached. I thought attached was a good idea until I realized that my kids would just pull them off and then they'd be lost rendering the whole thing useless. This way, I remove the cap and rinse and store it right away. A few recipes came and then the company emailed me. Not a necessity- recipes (if you need them) are easy to find online. But it's nice.A little less awesome: I did have to put the pops in warm water for a minute to loosen them. Not a big deal. Minor inconvenience which I suspect will disappear in the warm popsicle season.I froze smoothie consistency mush, and I froze them upright in a cup as recommended. I have no idea if spillage is a concern. I will say, they were pretty easy to fill because the silicone is so soft. I just spooned in the smoothie and pinched a bit too make sure there were no big bubbles.I'll probably buy more.

My big beef with typical popsicle molds is the way the handles never freeze securely to the pop, making removal a real pain. With these silicone molds that's a non-issue - just push up from the bottom & you're ready to go!I was concerned that these might be too thin or that the caps would leak, but my fears were unfounded on both counts. The silicone is nice and thick; the stand easily when propped in an open box of Hot Pockets or leaned against the side of the freezer. The lids seem to be very snug & free of leaks, although I haven't been bold enough to leave one on its side for very long while the pop was still liquid, yet (just don't overfill them or they'll pop their tops no matter how they're situated, but that's the case with any popsicles).Overall, these are some fantastic molds and I highly recommend them.

Pros: perfect size of popsicle, easy release (just a little twist), no smell (good luck finding that!), BPA-free, pretty colors, dishwasher safe (haven't tried this feature yet), more environmentally friendly than using one time cups.Cons: ending is too narrow & flat (tip of popsicle can easily break off, also it is impossible to reach when hand washing with a sponge), cold on hands while eating (might be better if cap had a small stick built-in, not to have to eat out of the container).Before buying these, my concern was how to place them standing upright to fill them up. When I got them, it turned out to be incredibly easy! Just an empty plastic ice cream container plus a little round glass/plastic bottle in the center (empty jar from black pepper or other spices), the 6 molds stand perfectly in a circle in the container around the little jar.The recipes they email ALL contain yogurt... and personally I just do not like frozen yogurt, no matter how healthy it is. Instead I simply pour in orange juice (or fruit juice) - it's totally amazing, very easy and much healthier (and cheaper) than buying frozen fruit thingies in the store. Who says it has to be healthy? I'll settle for fun and harmless.When pouring mixture/juice into them, make sure to leave at least half an inch (remember, liquid expands when frozen). The cap has two rings - I usually just put the cap on the first ring (I don't squish it further to tighten the second ring), just enough to avoid spills from carrying them to the freezer. It is a really nice home treat. I would not pack it for lunch though, common sense, really - melting content in non-rigid material (silicone), no cap will save it from deformation and leaks.Definitely getting more of these! The ice treats disappear quickly and need daily refilling (yes, only for 2 people).

I initially thought these were a great idea. I read all the positive reviews and was sold. However, after a month of using them I have changed my mind. These are VERY difficult to clean out. I have to hand wash them and even then it is tough to clean down in the bottom. They don't get clean in the dishwasher and residue is always left over inside. My younger children (ages 2 and 4) have a lot of trouble managing these. The silicon is very FLEXIBLE. When my kids try to squeeze these the whole thing bends and the treat falls out. Or the kids squeeze too hard and everything flies out. It ends up making quiet a mess and is not good for younger children. It needs to be a stiffer material so they can handle it better. I think these are over rated. I know that after I ordered these the company kept sending me emails to review their item. So I think this is why they have so many positive reviews. By the way, if you review, the company then sends you recipes for different types of popsicles. Overall, its a good idea in theory, it just doesn't work that well. I would not order these again. Our regular old school popsicle makers are a much better bet.

I purchased several sets of these as stocking stuffers. I decided to try one set before I gave them to my grown kids. I filled them with plain water and froze them for 4 hours. I was surprised that they did not leak any water out when I laid them on their side. I was disappointed when I tried to push the ice pop up in the container, it slipped out and onto the floor. I also feel the size of the contents would be too much for a toddler or small child.
