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.

Awesome molds, the popsicles turn out so perfectly cute! Very easy to use, and my kids loved helping me match the shapes and put in the sticks!

I love these molds!! My kids enjoy looking at them. The mold comes out perfectly every time. They're fun for kids. Easy to use, clean up and store away. Easy to unmold - hassle free.

I couldn't be happier with this lovely fish popsicle mold. They are the perfect size for my baby son, and each of the sticks is easy to hold and fun to use. There are little markers on the top which tell you how to orient the stick within the silicone popsicle mold so that your fishes come out well. My one complaint is that since the sticks are white, my partner threw two of them away after the meal time because they blended in with the color of the plate and he thought they were disposable. I was extremely upset given the price of the set, but then I realized that I could buy some replacement sticks on the website for a quarter the price of buying a whole new popsicle mold set. The shipping was extremely reasonable and probably below what it costs them. That made me feel so good about the company that they weren't trying to gouge people that I'm now looking at other products from the brand.

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!

Such a fun way to eat a popsicle! I love these molds! I have several and my grandkids look forward to their popsicle’s!

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!

Freeze evenly, the only popsicles that are easy to remove from the mold. These last for years (still have mine from like 10 years ago). Size is good for little toddlers and adults.

Unsere Kinder sind begeistert.

I love these. I have tried several other popsicle molds, but these are absolutely the best. (In fact, after trying them, I ordered two more.) For one thing, the silicone makes it really easy to remove the popsicles. You may have to tug a little, but they really do come out cleanly and easily. I will never go back to using the kind that you have to run under hot water in order to loosen them. For another, my four-year-old grandson loves the dinosaur shapes. And finally, they are the perfect size for a toddler or pre-schooler. Other popsicle molds make popsicles that are too big for little kids. He never finishes them and I end up having to try to store the half-eaten popsicle in the freezer (and then I have to convince him to finish it the next time he asks for a popsicle). These, he finishes in one go, and without dripping or making a mess. I can't imagine how these could be any better. They are the only popsicle molds I'll use now.

Il est trop mignon et facile à utiliser

Gute verarbeitung

Won’t be able to use any other kind from now on. So simple and fun! Kids love it and so do I. Love the shapes it makes and how easy it is to remove straight from the freezer!
