U.S. Kitchen Supply Jumbo Set of 18 Star Shaped Ice Pop Molds - Sets of 6 Red, 6 White & 6 Blue - Reusable USA Colored Ice Pop Makers - Fill, Freeze & Serve Healthy Kids Treats

These are relatively easy to use and make adorable little popsicles for toddlers. We especially liked the way that the holder has a little drip container. Makes it easier to contain spills. These are cute and easy to freeze in the molds. I used a funnel to fill them because they are narrow at the base when filling.

These were great! Simple to use and fun shaped! I dipped each one into a mug of warm water to make them easily come out of the molds. It worked great and maintained the star shape. Can’t wait to use these each 4th of July!

I was very excited to load these up, but unfortunately realized after starting to fill them that some of my popsicle sticks wouldn't fit on the mold, and just kept popping off. So I recommend making sure they all fit prior to using it! Also, be delicate removing the molds from the base after they've completed freezing - a piece of the base actually snapped off with the mold so I can't use that part anymore. Amazon was kind enough to send me a replacement item, which thankfully all the pieces fit together. I use care now when removing the frozen molds and it's been working great! Run just the tip under hot water and the popsicles are easy to remove from the molds. They've been working great with frozen custard pops I've been making

These popsicle molds are really nice given the inexpensive price tag! I bought them for a few reasons: 1. I decided last minute that I wanted to make boozy poosicles for a pool party, and needed a large number of molds STAT 2. The star shape reminded me of "Bomb Pops" -which were a childhood favorite of mine 3. I needed a lot of molds but didn't want to break the bank. 4. The molds came with stands - making filling and storing the popsicles a breeze. I got 18 of these babies for under $13! Most six packs of popsicle molds cost around $12, so I was pleasantly surprised when I ran across this find. I thought they wouldn't work or that they would be cheaply made due to the low price tag - but I was wrong! I made six "Blue Lagoon" pops, six "Moscow Mule" pops, and six "Moonshine Lemonade" pops using these molds. (Thanks Pinterest for the recipes!) The popsicles easily came out of the molds the next day and they were all a huge hit at the party! On a side note, if you have trouble getting a popsicle out of the mold, run the mold under some warm water for a few seconds and then squeeze the sides of the mold. The popsicle should gently slide out!

It was amazing to use these for the fourth but it was hard to remove the popsicles out. I dropped one while it was still frozen and the case broke already. Disappointed in the material they used to hold it together.

I love these popsicle star shaped molds. It takes a few minutes in one's hand, or running the mold under hot water to quickly free the popsicle, but homemade popsicles are easy to make and delicious, and the star shape ridges and greater surface area I think deliver the flavor better than a more traditional solid block. Easy to clean with a toothbrush, easy to use.

The stands are a nice addition. We've used these about 3 times now and I find them easy to fill and clean.

I've been making freezer pops since I was a kid, so when I went to buy a new set of molds, I just didn't think it was possible to be so disappointed in something that should be so basic. Just how hard is it, really, to mess up duplicating a technology that was essentially perfected over 40 years ago? Somehow, these guys did. I mean, the whole point is to be able to pull them out of the mold without the stick popping out, sans popsickle, right? So far, I've tried a couple rounds of 18, and I think I only got one of them to "issue forth from thy tight little mold" fully intact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. PROS: Fun shape. And they stand up in the holder without tipping over. But that's about the only nice things I can say - everything else is a mess. CONS: At first glance, these things appear well made - real heavy-duty plastic. But, actually, I think that might be part of the problem. I think the issue is that the plastic forming the "walls" of the mold is actually too thick; and that its thickness has some major fun-spoiling consequences. First, they freeze very slowly. Now, that's not a disaster. Patience is a virtue, after all; and a slower-freezing pop does have a softer bite to it, which is fine. The real issue is that they just don't work. The plastic is so thick, that it makes the popsickle really hard to get out of the mold once it's actually frozen. This is true if you try to harvest them as soon as they freeze, or if you let them freeze real hard over night. The mold just has no "give" to it, so there's no way to gently squeeze the mold in order to coax the pop out. And running them under warm water doesn't work well either, because the thickness of the plastic insulates it from the warm water. By the time the pop has been warmed enough to get it out of the mold, it's so soft that the pop usually breaks, leaving part of it stuck in the mold. So you've got BOTH types of fail going one... stick comes out without the pop, or the pop breaks while pulling it out. There's probably some magical sweet spot right in the middle, but you'd have to nail it exactly - and, alas, my kitchen is not equipped with the scientific lab equipment that would be necessary to achieve such a precise temperature, combined with an exact number of seconds. Unfortunately, all I have to work with is a normal-people kitchen. But I haven't even told you about the most maddening thing yet! It feels like there's this tiny, little plastic lip at the inner top edge of the mold. WHAT IS THAT DOING THERE?!? It's a bit hard to describe just why this is a problem; but, essentially, this lip, jutting inward - as barely-noticeable as it might be - is part of what's keeping the frozen pop from slipping easily out of the mold. It's probably a design oversight - but it really is a fatal flaw. It's almost as though it was not designed to make popsickles - but rather, as some kind of device for inducing parental frustration (as if we don't have enough of those). Or, maybe, the freezer pop equivalent of a logic puzzle? I'm sure I don't know. All I signed up for was making frozen juice treats for the kids; and so far, I've scored 1 win to 35 losses. I don't recall any ties. A few slight design tweaks might make these great, but I just feel like they fail terribly at their (very simple) purpose. Gonna go back and try something from a different manufacturer, because the other shape molds from the same company look like they might pose similar problems.
