Miaowoof Homemade Popsicle Molds, 10-Cav Non-BPA Silicone Ice Pop Maker, with 50 Sticks, 50 Bags, 10 Reusable Sticks, Funnel, Brush and Ice Pop Recipe (Red)

The Yasso Frozen Yogurt pops are no longer carried at my local grocery stores, so I found a recipe and this silicone mold, and I am enjoying pops again! The mold came with a recipe booklet, all healthy sweet treats, so that was a bonus! The mold is easy to use and clean, and the pops just need to warm up a bit to easily come out of the mold. Love it!

OK, I bought this because I saw a recipe on FB to make alcohol popsicles. Yes, you read this right. Once I got everything bought and setup as needed for recipe, I poured the contents into the mold using the little funnel this set came with. I then put the mold on a hard surface that can be in freezer too as to walk to freezer with a full mold, to me, is a messy and sticky accident waiting to happen. Once the popsicles were frozem, i was able to take one out without issue. I read on another review to also push up from bottom to remove the popsicle and it wirked great pulling from top lightly and pushing from bottom.As for the kit itself, the popsicle mold seems to be high quality and is stiffer than say, cupcake molds I've used also made from silicone. I think a big reason is that each individual mold is much closer together and not much room to bend. This is important as you don't want the mold to flex too much when full of the liquid that you put into it, or it will spill (but I still like a hard surface under it, to and in freezer). It flexes enough though to remove popsicles easily.The popsicle sticks are nice as they seem to be coated with something to make them easier to insert into the holes. A regular stick has, well, a wood feel. These almost feel like plastic, but is wood, if that makes sense. I like them.The celephane bags seem decent and will use today for the first time. I did see a video of how to easily slide popsicle into the bag, which I will also try. They used a plastic cu, like a Solo Cup, cut it in half and totally remove the bottom. They then put the bottom of the cup into the bag and slid the popsicle along the cup and into the bag, then remove the cup. They mention to change cups for different flavors/colors or it could bleed colors (not that it matters to me, but if visual presence is important thenm you may want to do that).The little cleaner is cute, not sure how effective, vut wull also give it a whirl today. This was not a factor for me to buy this mold, but if it works, it's a plus and a nice addition to kit.Overall, it is a nice popsicle kit and great for those like me, that know absolutely nothing about these and wanted to try it. I do plan to try non-alcohol popsicles too!

I love this popsicle maker. It's easy to use and easy to clean. I love the little funnel that comes with it, which makes filling it easy and not messy. It's a very durable material that is somewhat flexible, which helps in removing the popsicles, but also strong enough to left into the freezer with stability. It's a good size and makes enough popsicles without taking up too much freezer space. I use it constantly.

SYNOPSISI'm a popsicle fiend -- I will go through an entire box of sugar-free popsicles in a single evening. (Give me a break, they're 15 calories each and I live in the South. It's hot!) That adds up, especially with grocery prices climbing rapidly. So I found a recipe for popsicles that are low-calorie and not pure ice (hint: use Sugar-Free Jell-O with concentrated Crystal Light), then decided to buy this popsicle tray. I'm very happy with my purchase. It will save me significant money with minimal effort. The kit comes with several excellent features, but it has a few poor design decisions that you should be mindful of.1) The spigot funnel is not very large, so you would be best served to either by an alternative or find a bottle to fit the funnel onto.2) The plastic, which is high-quality and designed for easy removal of frozen pops, is very very flimsy when you put it in the freezer. You might be better off placing it on a cookie sheet or cutting board, then placing the entire set-up in the freezer.3) The popsicles may stick a bit to the sides of the mold -- especially if you use sugary mixes or fresh fruit. I do not know for sure, though.DETAILEDDifficulty Level - How Hard Was This To Use?[_] Beginner[_] Novice[x] Competent[_] Advanced[_] ExpertIf you can pour, you can use this. But you also need to pour carefully, and you need to make sure that you place the popsicle mold on a level surface that you can comfortably move into the freezer. The design is too flimsy to move on its own without risking a spill.Build Quality[_] This felt very poorly designed, and I recommend against buying it.[_] This felt poorly designed, but "your mileage may vary."[_] This felt like it was adequately designed, with no big pros or cons.[x] This felt like it was well designed, with more pros than alternatives.[_] This felt like it was excellently designed, and I recommend buying it.I think it would be excellent if the kit came with a plastic set of "handles" that you could place the mold within. Unfortunately, it does not.Build Materials[_] This felt like it was made of different materials than promised, and I warn against it.[_] This felt like it was made of very cheap materials, and I would not recommend it.[_] This felt like it was made of the promised materials, with no big pros or cons.[_] This felt like it was made of higher quality materials, with more pros than alternatives.[x] This felt like it was made of premium materials, and I recommend buying it.This mold is almost certainly phthalate-free -- in fact, the mold feels more rubbery than it a plastic. It's excellent, retains its shape, and will clearly hold up to frequent uses.Build Safety[_] This felt very unsafe to use, and I recommend against buying it.[_] This felt a little unsafe to use, but "your mileage may vary."[_] This felt safe enough to use, but nothing to write home about.[_] This felt safe to use, with better performance than alternatives.[x] This felt very safe to use, and I recommend buying itThe biggest risk you will face when using this is spilling on yourself. I also imagine that pouring boiling or scalding liquid into the mold could cause it to melt, so you probably shouldn't do that.Functionality[_] This did not do what it promised, and I recommend against buying it.[_] This did what it promised, but very badly.[_] This did what it promised, but it was "just fine."[x] This did what it promised, and did it better than alternatives.[_] This did what it promised, with distinction, and I recommend buying it.If this came with an easier way to "tote" it into the freezer, or with a better tool for filling each mold, then I would give it a full endorsement. As it stands, it's a great kit for the price point and the lack of a carrier tray or functional funnel are both problems you can solve for less than $10. I recommend buying this, if you know what its limitations are.
