Tovolo Rocket Ice Pop Mold Popsicle Maker, Drip-Guard, Sturdy Stand Base, 2.5 Fluid Oz, Set of 6, Blue, 80-8001BC

I am happy with the Tovolo brand in general. I own several different Popsicle form styles (bug, star, ice cream cone, rocket, ring pop). I like the company's choice of plastic, durable quality and fun styles. I thought the price was a bit high; however, when I considered the quality and years I would get out of them, I was sold. As a mom, I like the forms that allow you to easily slip the popsicle back in if the form if/when your child wants to take a break from eating it. They all fit back in; however, some of them (rockets for example) only fit in the form one way. It is a bit tricky for my 2 1/2 yr old son to get the rocket pop back in the form and by the time he tries a few times, some of the wings have scraped off and made a little mess. The star and ice cream cone forms on the other hand are a cinch to slide the half eaten pop back in. Many people have said that the ring pops are too small; however, I knew they were going to be small when I bought them...they are ring pops and are supposed to be small. There are times I only want my son to have a small popsicle and they work perfect in those situations. He gets to choose which popsicle he wants and he does not seem to care about the size if it is his choice to pick the little one. Another thing I read about in reviews is the ability for the stick to "catch" drips. I have found that if you fill the form a little less than full that a gap remains between the popsicle and the base of the stick, which allows for the stick to catch the drips. Keep in mind that even if they are caught, they will still spill out when your child tips the popsicle at an angle. The form with the biggest reservoir for catching drips is the ice cream cone by far. All of that being said, if I had to choose a favorite shape, I couldn't do it...I like all of them. So far, my son has chosen the rocket the most, then it is a tie between the ice cream cone, the star and the ring pop. He has not yet picked the bug shape. I ordered my forms from Amazon and hoped that I would like them. I am pleased to say that I am incredibly happy with them! After I bought all of the ones I did, I found them at Whole Foods. So, if you are on the fence and wish you could get a closer look at them, check your local Whole Foods store to see if they carry them or can possibly get them.

Overall I'm happy with the Tovolo Rocket Pop Molds. I tried them using grape juice and let them freeze for a few hours. The sticks did pop out when the pops weren't completely frozen, but after leaving them overnight to fully freeze, I didn't have that problem. You do have to run the pops under warm water to loosen them from the mold, but not to the point that they are melting. Once they release from the mold, they slide right out and the rocket shape is really well formed. The only downside to this product that I've experienced so far, is that the tray cracked the first time I used it. I pushed a little too hard to get the mold to stand upright in the tray and it cracked. It's still functional though, and I will just be more gentle when I'm putting the molds in the tray from now on. The other weird thing was the packaging. I got this as a gift for someone and I thought that it would come packed in a regular box like you see them at the store, but the molds and tray were just loose in a plastic bag, not in the original packaging. Other people have commented on the drip tray not working well. I find that I'm done eating the popsicle before it's really melted enough to fill the drip tray, so I haven't really had a problem with that.

This set works just as promised. My sons think the rocket shapes are the coolest, and all it takes to make one is pouring in some orange juice (their favorite), or anything else I have around. I'm not the most creative mom ever, and have very little time, but these make it easy. I have tried applesauce, chocolate pudding, and even baby food that we have left over that my 15 month old has outgrown (this got them to eat some veggies that they otherwise would have turned up their noses at! I felt like a genius, until they decided the veggies were too bland. I'm going to mix some fruits and veggies next and see how that works.) The construction is great, as they are very sturdy plastic and stand up easily either in the stand or on the door of my freezer. Once they have frozen most of the way, it doesn't matter if they are standing or not, so they don't take up a lot of space at all. Highly recommended for boys or girls (who doesn't think rockets are cool?)

I wanted molds for home made ice creams. One of the reviewers gave 4 stars to the product and gave it4 stars. So I bought the product and was happy to make ice cream with my ice cream machine. But when I tried to put the fresh made ice cream in the mold I had a hard time because after two spoons of ice cream the air inside the mold has no way to get out and I had to do tricks with the knife and it was a mess. Somehow I was able to improve the technique and after waiting a day I tried to give the ice creams to my sons. I did the trick with running the molds under warm water for a minute so that will separate from the mold easier. I did it for about a minute. still it has hard to open the top of the mold and after putting some extra force I had the blue top on my hand and the remaining mold and the ice cream inside the mold on the other side. Meaning the mold must work only with liquids! The blue part has three holes and the liquids can feel it but not the fresh made ice cream that is thick!. So do not buy this product if you intend to use it for ice cream!!!!I give it 2 stars because I didn't try it with liquids and because to be fair with the product it didn't promise to work with ice cream.

EXCELLENT QUALITY!!Comes with a small recipe book. 'Tocolo' comes in a box perfect for gift giving!! Quality product!! The stand makes it so easy to prepare. Making ones own pops can be so healthful. Fruit & yogurt & a nutritious sweetener; honey, coconut syrup or sugar, maple syrup, etc. Or layered for fun. A little stream of warm water from the tap & the tops slides off. Good way for everyone to eat fruit or other healthful things for our bodies.

Brilliant, good quality and price. I looked a few weeks earlier and as it was out of season I couldn't find a suitable set that didn't have to come from abroad where the postage was more than the item. I was thrilled when this set appeared on Amazon. Thank you,

au démoulage, le baton se casse!!! trop de la m****! remboursez! n'achetez surtout pas ce produit! c'est honteux de vendre des produits de si basse qualité!

Easy to fill, freeze and remove. Great product.

We made hundreds of lollies with the rocket moulds and they are still in perfect condition. Often we wrapped them in cool sheets and have taken them to the beach and my son got a lot of attention from other children.
