Make Your Own Popsicles. It's As Easy As 1...2....3 With This
After reading reviews on this item I decided to go ahead and order it. Shipping was super fast, but then again, I use Amazon Prime. I have used it twice so far and have a good experience with the molds. They are study and are easy to fill and clean up after use. It comes with an e-book which contains a variety of recipes that you can try, besides being creative and coming up with your own concoctions like I did.To remove from mold, simply put under a tap or warm running water, or dip into a vessel of warm water for 15 seconds. This will loosen mold so that the popsicle can come out smoothly.I haven't put these in the dishwasher since I am not sure if they are dishwasher-safe, I just wash them by hand.

Works as advertised
This is a nice, sturdy set of pop molds. After washing, I poured in pineapple juice and stuck it in the freezer. Later, I wanted a snack so I pulled it out, ran some warm water over to free it from the mold and enjoyed a great homemade pop!The only downside that I can think of is the anti-drip tray. I think I prefer a paper towel wrapped around the stem to avoid drips and I still use it despite the drip guard because, as I kick back in my recliner... that makes the drip tray pour right onto me! The drip tray also is very difficult to clean out. To clean the mold itself, I use a small soapy sponge that fits perfectly into it. I found a fudgesicle recipe online I can't wait to try!

Works Great, no Unpleasant Surprises
This was my first popsicle mold ever and I'm very satisfied with it. It's simple, clean and works like you'd hope.A few suggestions for users- make sure you fill the mold as close to the top as you can. On my first run I left some space so I wouldn't overflow the mold. I was successful in not overflowing, but it made for an odd shaped popsicle with a half-inch gap between the drop catcher and the popsicle.Also, be careful to hold your popsicle more-or-less vertically. While the drip catcher works well, if you hold the popsicle at the wrong angle you can dump the whole tray onto yourself. Since I'm used to holding popsicles in my mouth horizontally at some point, this has been an inconvenience on more than one (or 9) occasion(s).But I still recommend it.

Important Tip and Recipes
Love these! They're awesome, for all the reasons below, but here's a tip: If you don't want your Popsicles to be like a block of ice to crunch, buy some powdered guar gum or similar thickener (available on Amazon) and add 3/4 teaspoon of the powder to 16 oz. of your Popsicle mix. This is what store-bought Popsicles have, to give them the smooth consistency. See recipes at the end of this review.As for these moulds, I have found them to be the best so far--nice size, sturdy, easy and fun to use. They make the perfect sized treats, mess-free to eat with the drip guard, and they're easy to slide out of the mold (you just run hot water over the mold for a few seconds and they pop right out).RECIPES: LOW-CAL FRUIT POPSCombine the ingredients below in a measuring cup so that all ingredients equal 16 ounces. Pour them in a blender and liquefy. Then, spoon the ingredients into the molds and freeze:- fruit (not previously frozen): for example, strawberries, grapes, kiwi, peaches, mango, berries, or fruit cups with no sugar added, such as mandarin oranges, pears, mixed fruit.- white grape juice and water, about half and half to cut calories (this is what a lot of store-bought fruit pops use as base liquid)- 1/2 cup Slenda (optionally makes them sweeter)- 3/4 teaspoon guar gum powder (for smooth texture instead of ice-cube consistency)

Perfect...i will never buy popsicles from the store again
these are a perfect, easy way for making great frozen treats and the e book of 27 recipes is a great addition. they arrived quickly and were very well packaged. i put them in the dishwasher to see how they would hold up and they came through just fine (i do not use the heat dry setting in my dishwasher and especially with plastic and i wouldnt suggest using it with these, but that should just be common sense) the base and molds are well constructed and should last a very long time. the first thing i made was cranberry juice popsicles and they came out perfect. just the right size for a nice treat anytime. when i pulled it out of the freezer i ran warm water over the mold for about 10 seconds and out it came and it was delicious! the pack of six are great for single people but i would buy more for families. (and to be honest i went through the six i made so quickly i think ill buy 2 more sets, that way i can have a variety to choose from) you cant go wrong with this product, i am very satisfied with my groovy frezer popsicle molds

All-in-all, we are satisfied with performance vs. price
Order first set of these 9 months ago. Ordered a second set a week ago. No problems with either delivery. As some other reviewers have noted, these are not indestructable. In the 9 months of the first set, one handle broke and 2 molds sprung leaks (noticed this while rinsing with water; so, no big mess). Having said that ... I also ordered similar molds from another supplier and had similar breakage experience. In other words, the plastic these are made from become a little bit brittle when frozen. We prefer these to the other supplier, though, because it seems to be the perfect size and texture for us (personal preference; your preferences might vary).We use these continuously and do not treat them daintily. So, all-in-all, we are satisfied with performance vs. price.
