Searching for the best popsicle mold can be quite tiresome and frustrating. For instance, there are dozens of them available on the shelves today, and most people try out a broad majority of them before finding the best.<\/p>\n

1st Place: Zoku Round Pop Mold<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Zoku

Buy Now:\u00a0$24.99<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

Lucky for you, we researched for the past two weeks. After some thorough research\u00a0and 140 ice pops, the Zoku Round Pop Mold won the competition. It has a modern look and comes in an ideal size for both adults and kids.<\/p>\n

Why should you buy this product?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Unlike other plastic molds, they have a unique peel-away silicone design which makes it easy to release the pops. Also, they are easier to fill than other molds made from silicone. They are also very durable and are great with any form of popsicles. Therefore, if you are looking for something less messy with a price tag of less than $18, Zoku Round Pop Molds are the best choice for you.<\/p>\n

Why we picked it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the only popsicle mold that costs $17 for a set of four plus its incredible features. It has an excellent and unique shape which makes it look like the traditional rounded Fudgsicle or the stick straight popsicle.<\/p>\n

Due to its spherical shape, there were fewer drips and hanging at the end of the stick. This made it immensely fun to eat popsicles. If there is too much hanging, the pops might break in half before having a bite.<\/p>\n

It has a classic round base which is very easy to use and occupies less space. It makes your work incredibly comfortable due to its four spots. All you have to do is to drop the filled silicone molds and let them freeze. Others will require you to place the pop carefully in a delicate plastic stand to prevent breakage and apply some force to push them into the slots on the base.<\/p>\n

They also come in the perfect size for both kids and adults. Normally, they are about three ounces. Some molds are too big for kids or anyone. There are also Zoku mini molds which are perfect for little kids.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Features such as dripping, ease of use and breakages are impressive. The drop tests proved that Classic round pops are the best. The pops didn’t break, but the ice inside shattered into huge pieces which later re-froze. This was way better than other plastic molds which broke during this test.<\/p>\n

Who should use this product?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Even though popsicle molds are not among the must-have kitchen items such as can openers and pans, they might come in handy during the summer for kids and heated guests. You will come across pre-made pops each time you go around a corner but making them from home is ideal especially if you want them frozen. Moreover, homeowners who wish to try out different recipes and flavors will greatly appreciate the product. As they are very simple to use, the process can also be taken as a fun project for kids.<\/p>\n

Are there any flaws?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Zoku molds are not the best for making ice pops with multiple layers or large fruit chunks. This is because you will have to pour in one layer at a time and allow it to freeze when making multiple layered pops. The drip catcher and reusable sticks are some of the features which make this mold unfit for this task.<\/p>\n

What to look for when choosing a popsicle mold?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pop molds come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and feel. Smooth ones are the best if you wish to try out a wide range of recipes. Most of them are made from plastic, stainless steel or silicone. Each of these materials has its pros and cons.<\/p>\n

Plastic molds<\/strong><\/h4>\n

These are the cheapest and most readily available. However, plastic is very susceptible to breakage and can be difficult to use. It’s also time-consuming as it requires hot water to be run under so as to release the popsicle.<\/p>\n

Silicone molds<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This material is found on most molds. They’re easy to remove, and smooth features are very desirable. Silicone is also known to repel water hence chemicals will not contaminate your pops. The only disadvantage of silicone is that it is less durable. It can easily get punctured with sharp objects in the dishwasher.<\/p>\n

Stainless steel molds<\/strong><\/h4>\n

They are expensive and very rare to find and simply the best when it comes to durability. The best molds will also hold 3-3.5 ounces of pop. Very huge pops can be tiresome to eat even to adults. Some of them come with reusable sticks and a built-in drip guard to collect the sticky drips.<\/p>\n

Runner Up: <\/strong>Cuisipro Sailboat Pop Mold<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Cuisipro

Buy Now:\u00a0$35.00<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

It’s set yields up to six pops at a time. They are also made from easy-to-clean and dishwasher-safe silicone. Their design gives them an ideal look, and their pops are incredibly delicious. Other exclusive features include; drip guards, molds snap off individually for the single pop and are fun for the entire family.<\/p>\n

Third place: Orka Ice Pop Molds<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Orka

Buy Now:\u00a0$9.49<\/strong><\/a><\/h4>\n

They are very adorable, decent and hold about 3 ounces of pop and are also ideal for ice cream pops. The only limitation is that they have a hard silicone cover which was difficult to get off. Fortunately, this problem can be solved with a little warm water.<\/p>\n
