Is it easy to release the jello from the mold?

Yes, very easy. Just take the bottom lid off, invert on your serving plate then release top lid.

It is very easy. Remove the large lid that covers the base of the mold and invert the mold on your serving dish. Next remove the lid from the top of the mold and the jello will slip down onto the plate.

Yes. Very Easy. You take off the bottom lid, put the plate you want to put the mold on in place of it, turn it over, and as soon as you start to peel the top piece off the jello releases.

Yes it is very easy. Take the large lid on the bottom off place mold on a plate release the small lid on top it will release the jello. I make cramberry relish in it it turns out really pretty. I also form meatloaf in the mold. it makes a pretty meat dish to take to a gathering.

Yes, the jello releases quite easily. Once you release the middle ring it will drop onto the plate.
1370651
Yes. Turn the mold over and release the bottom from the top. It should slide out. I have been using my mold for 20 years.

Because the middle insert is removable, I have found it easy to do. After you have the bottome removed and it placed on the plate you want, just remove the insert first and it will come out.

Yes, it is very easy. Do just as the other users indicated. If for some reason you happen to have a problem (which virtually never happens), just leave the mold at room temperature for a few minutes or float the mold in warm water for about a minute (with both lids still on) and it will come right out.

Try dipping bottom of mold in HOT water for a few seconds, this often loosens jello from molds. If it still sticks try again. I have not used it with this mold, but I hope it helps.

I don't see why not. I don't believe I'd put boiling water in the mold. By the time you've stirred the jello to dissolve completely, I'd still wait a bit to pour into mold. I have regular jello molds, but they're a more firm plastic than this mold. Can't hurt to give it a try.

Yes it comes out easy. It's silicone so you can easily bend and pop out the food!

Pretty easy. Since the ic cubes are half-moon shaped, the first time you use it you just poke one end of the cube and it just pops right out. In subsequent uses I found that a gentle twist of the tray to loosen the cubes does the trick... And again you just have to poke one side of thebcube to have it slide out.

I believe I read in reviews that you can make jello with these molds and I'm not sure if I read that they had trouble getting them out of the mold perhaps? I never used them for jello. They were great for candy melts (for party favors) and ice (for the punch).

Mine are always easy to pull out. Be sure not to overfill it or it will spill out as it freezes and stick to the rim of the base. Also if the outside of the molds are wet, they could also stick to the base when they freeze. Lastly, the liquid you pour in should not be cold, cool or room temp is fine. The reason is that if the liquid is already cold, the top of the mold (part with the most exposure to air) can freeze over first, creating a cap. Because the liquid below can't expand up because of the ice cap, the liquid must expand out, stretching the mold as it freezes. This may be what's causing problem. Warmer liquids freeze more uniformly, so they will tend to expand up, lifting the popsicle stick, instead of out, stretching the mold.

I have not done a jello mold yet.. How fun!! I am going to try it:) it hasn't failed me yet. Can't wait; thanks for the idea!

You can but would recommend you use a copper mold. For jello mold you need something that you can easily loosen with hot water without destroying the mold. I believe this pan is too thick for what you are needing.

When I put the fondant in the mold, I really work the fondant into the mold for a few minutes to make sure I got into all the nooks and crannies. Once done with that, I put the mold in my freezer for about 5 minutes or so. To remove the fondant from the mold, I gently twist the mold to loosen the fondant and it usually comes right out without any breakage or distortion.

Yes, they just snap together and are easy to pull apart. Cleaning the whole thing is pretty easy, we just rinse out the pulp and take an extra 20-30 seconds to get the stuff stuck in the metal sieve out. Then soap and water or the dishwasher.

It definitely thins out as the hole is much smaller than the texture of the solid jello. I tend to make them more of a watery jello, as if it is too solid, guests found it hard to push out. They're a huge hit! Have fun!

I remember from long time ago - that the mold was stored in water for 24hr before using. That should help with the release issues.

Maybe you could try putting it in the freezer for a few minutes before trying to remove it. Or spray the mold with a little cooking spray before pouring the candy in. I always find that the freezer method works best for me.

I did not find a way to take it apart for cleaning... The best method I found was put to it in a jug of water with a bit of bleach and let it "dispense" the bleach solution. After repeating a few times, the odor went away but I'm not sure the mold did.

When I made them they came right out when I tipped the tray. You can spray a light coating of nonstick spray if you want. If you flip the tray over and the jello isn't coming out place a warm, not hot , towel over the mold. It will loosen up the jello a little bit for it fall out. Remember to use the recipe on the box for jigglers not the regular jello which will be too thin.
