Zoku Dino Pop Molds

I am getting ready for Shark Week 2016 with this fish mold by Zoku.Before I talk about pop making, I just want to say something about Zoku. I have purchased several of their products and I have never had a problem with any (I have several ice ball makers, and ice cream freezer bowl and several different pop molds, including this one). Also, I have tried many of their other products during my time working at Williams-Sonoma. This is a Brand that you can count on. The quality of their products is outstanding and I mean that about every Zoku product I have ever had the pleasure of using. They back their products and they provide excellent customer service if you have a problem, need a replacement part or have a question about use or care.This pop maker includes six silicone molds of a shark, diver, octopus, clownfish, whale and puffer. They make a perfect size pop for little hands or for that little something cool and sweet on a hot summer day.There are a lot of recipes online for fruit pops or you can buy a book. Although these are “slow” freeze pops (Zoku makes an excellent quick pop maker too), meaning you put them in the refrigerator and wait for them to freeze the old-school way, they seem to freeze faster in the silicone molds. Even my Zoku silicone ice balls freeze faster than plastic ice ball molds. The real joy of making pops in a good-quality silicone mold is the ease of removing them when they are frozen because you can just pull them and the silicone will pull out and peel off the ice easily. The sticks are nice and have the standard holes in them so that the ice freezes through and the pop stays securely on the stick. But they kick it up a notch by adding little fish bones, and skeletons to each of the sticks. Very adorable. Each mold has its own dedicated stick (for example the whale has a whale tail and the diver has legs with flippers).I have not used this to make lollipops or chocolate but I am sure this is perfect for that, chocolate in particular. You could probably make a cute cake with white chocolate sharks popping out of blue water frosting.BPA and phthalate free. Cannot be put in the dishwasher but VERY easy to wash by hand.

The media could not be loaded. My kids saw these fish-shaped ice pop molds at a vacation house and begged me to get some for home. I’m so glad I did! They love making their own popsicles now and can do it all by themselves. The molds are super easy to use and clean, and the fun shapes make snack time extra exciting. Perfect for summer!My kids love blue color of it too. So cute and doesn’t even break. Shapes are very well detailed.

These are adorable and perfect size for toddler hands. I put applesauce, baby purees and yogurt in them and it turns out great!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Fun vs functionality Functionality:molds well and pulls out easily! I was worried it would be a nightmare to pull out but pulls out with ease!Freeze quality:Silicone mold holds up in the freezer

We already have two mini popsicle molds and have loved them for our very young children. These are so fun and easy to use. No complaints. Highly recommend!

The Zoku Fish Pop Molds include a rigid plastic frame (the aqua colored part you see in the photos), with silicone inserts that are the actual molds. When the popsickle is frozen, you simply pull up on the white plastic 'stick' and the mold inverts, easily releasing the popsickle! The total volume of all six molds is only 1/2-cup, so you get tiny popsickles! They are cute, though, and the item is easy to use. But it takes up a lot of freezer space. Recommend removing the pops from the mold and placing in a freezer bag or box to save room in the freezer after they've hardened. The shape of some of the pops makes it difficult not to have drips if you like to slowly suck on your pop!

I got this for my grandson who's now 14 when he was little. Still using it for my 3yo granddaughter and purchased another set as a birthday present.We freeze yogurt pops for the Summer. Two Trader Joes 4-ounce containers will fill 5 of the 6 molds. Healthy and neat.Only drawbacks are the space it takes up in the freezer and hovering over the kids to retrieve the handles before they can go astray. Wish Zoku sold replacement handles!!!

Par NONE.. these are the best popsicle molds EVER! I have the polar ones and my mom saw them and needed these so as part of her mother's day gift I got her them! She LOVES THEM!THEY come out super easily. They're always perfect!
