Onyx Stainless Steel Popsicle Mold

When there are less expensive popsicle molds out there, to spend this much money on molds seems outlandish, especially when the economy is so up in the air. I looked ahead and realized toilet paper, workout gear and swimming pools are getting out of stock, and with summer here, moms and dads everywhere are going to want to keep their kiddos entertained and fed with summer treats. Popsicles are equivalent to summer so I splurged and bought a set. Best quarantine purchase so far!I went with the metal molds because metal should outlast silicone and plastic and I wanted a set that will last several years.The inside metal of each mold is a matte finish and with the outside nice and shiny. The molds sit nicely in the rack and the lids fit gently on the top of the molds. The lids are not meant to be sealed or fit tightly, more of a covering in the freezer. No big deal though because when the popsicles freeze, the lid is firm and holds well. The set comes with bamboo sticks in a cute little bag and can be replaced with more sticks or regular popsicle sticks. The lids also have rubber discs to slid the sticks into. These work great to hold the sticks securely in the lids and come in a variety of colors which work great to identify different flavors of popsicles if you made more than one at a time, or if the kiddos like one color over the other. These also come in a draw string bag with extras. The only draw back I have noticed is one of our seals got pulled out of the lid and pops out easily. Not a big deal but just an FYI.As far as cleaning, I have found that cream based popsicles tend to leave a residue that it tricky to clean. Two things help this- using a baby bottle brush to get into the crevices or just a quick rinse when you are done eating. Again, not a big deal but just a handy hint.I have not tried using them in the dishwasher since the sink seems to always have soapy water and they are so easy to clean. After all, we are in quarantine- we should have time to clean popsicle molds!As far as recipes, I went online to Pinterest, which we all love, and found some good ones, and I have also just used juice with crushed fruit that I had on hand. I also went crazy and mixed juices with some whipping cream (unwhipped) and some with coconut cream. I have thought about making extra smoothies and pouring it into the molds but never seem to have enough of that leftover.When frozen, I either leave the remaining popsicles in the mold until we eat them or I have taken the remaining out and layered them in a glass storage container with parchment paper for a quick grab. I also place the mold on top of this in my freezer since the rack has wire footings like my freezer shelf and it won't tip over.All in all, these molds are great and well worth the money. Enjoy!

I got this to make my own sugar free popsicles. They pop out easily under warm water. I keep them in a freezer bag so I can make more.Be careful when putting stick in rubber holder. One popped off and into the ice cream. Try to put the stick in the lid first and then put that onto the popsicle mold.I really like the holder tray.The inside is coated with something so I doubt I will have any rust problems.All in all, I am glad I bought it. I have arthritis and I really love that I don’t have to force the popsicle out like I do with the silicone molds.I would buy this again. High quality!

These are so awesome! I am embarrassed to say that I have had these in the box for the last 2 1/2 years. I’m not quite sure why I haven’t used these. Maybe because it was it wasn’t so hot last year. Or maybe I just thought it was going to be too complicated. These are so cool, so easy, so cheap in the long run because you will spend an absurd amount in the grocery store. They are a little awkward getting the popsicle out of the metal container when out of the freezer, But you can just run warm or hot water over it for 5 to 10 seconds and it will slide right out. If you put too much liquid on top it may become messy putting cap on or lifting on the tray or putting in the freezer. They are super easy to clean. I basically just rinse the mold out and I don’t even need to stick a cleaning brush in there. At first I was using a big spoon to pour it into mold. But it was very messy like this., So you should just pour directly from the blender. When inserting the wood popsicle stick leave about three fingers worth exposed. If you are using these for two people in the household I would recommend getting 12 molds. 1/2 of 1 quart of ice cream+ fruit etc fits into 6 molds. This is a great idea if you want to eat less, because normally I would eat the whole half of 1 quart of ice cream. Now I just I am content with two Popsicles, and the best part is that I could make these organic, dairy free gluten-free.

This is by far my favorite popsicle maker! I don’t have to worry about plastic, silicone, or any other material! These freeze well and are a great way to make homemade popsicles!

This is the best popsicle mold out there in my opinion. It’s made out of stainless steel. I tested it and it does not leak and they’re easy to remove. One star is taken off because the bamboo popsicle sticks that came with it were half shattered and splintering. All in all, worth the price but should be priced a little lower.

I have been trying to avoid purchasing and using plastic, I love that these are an available alternative and are sustainable and long lasting! The popsicle sticks are bamboo and reusable forgoing the need of buying dozens of sticks and storing them. The popsicles I made with these were just watermelon and lime juice I blended in the blender, and after letting them harden in the freezer and then running lukewarm water to loosen and release, they came easily out after just running water for a few seconds. Would recommend.

I was really disappointed with this product. When I opened it, the inside had a strange powdery coating and several black spots that were hard to clean and stuck to the mold’s surface. Every time I tried to wipe it, my fingers and tissues turned black. Under the light, I noticed areas that looked like rust. This is not something I’d feel safe using for food.
