"Something you have to shake your head at and wonder how you have managed to walk among others for so long and they haven't yet figured out that you're totally bonkers? My son got these molds and made some with fresh fruit and white grape juice."
"These popsicle molds are OK. The lip needs to be higher to hold more liquid."
"I added a little clip on basket from an old dish drainer I replaced recently, to the front of the top rack in which to place the sticks and bottom covers and it worked so well, I'm leaving it permanently in place for small items like that that need top rack washing only."
"The shape is a little odd, and doesn't necessarily lend itself well to recipes that call for solid ingredients (gummy bears and sprite had a great start but a boring end, since the gummies sank to the bottom.)."
"Getting good (and affordable) no sugar pops in stores is not easy and this little gizmo has already paid for itself several times over since the Trader Joe's Coconut Water Ice Floes disappeared and I started making my own version. I need a few more sets so I can have different kinds of pops all going at once (and backup pops freezing because we eat a LOT of popsicles around here.)."
"NO mention of the actual brand Zoku on the box, the Popsicle mold, nor directions."
"They look cute, and probably make nice little round pops, but the handle and cap do not actually fit on and seal to the base part."
Make six (6) new friends with these Zoku Fish Pop Molds. Silicone molds automatically invert to easily release your pops; simply freeze your favorite fruit juice in the molds, pull out your fish pop and enjoy.

Do you want to stay comfortable without over-working? Your kitchen will stay clean and tidy, thanks to a funnel and a brush you will get to make cleaning the mold easy, and the mold can be used again. It was a Thursday afternoon in the middle of the summer and I was exhausted from a busy week that was finally coming to an end. I thought to myself, "How can I make her feel like she's sitting in the mountains breathing in cool, fresh air?" We got on the swings in the garden and enjoyed the summer as if we were in the mountains! This Popsicle mold comes with a free FOLDING FUNNEL to avoid the mess and a special BRUSH to clean the product perfectly and a ice cream recipes E-Book. We have invested a lot of thought in ensuring that the Popsicles are easy to remove and that they stand stably inside the freezer. Carefully read the instructions inside the box and we are sure you will make the most out of “Lebice Popsicle molds” this summer. These 6 professional Popsicle makers have a drip tray at the base of each one that will keep your kids clean and without sticky fingers, thanks to a carefully designed handle for them to hold.

Find Best Price at Amazon"They are the perfect size, EASY to remove the popsicle (by running under water for a few minutes), and the molds click into the base for all six can easily be transported to the freezer. Use the funnel to guide your blend not each mold, then add the stick--this fully covers so the fluid won't spill but I just set in place, so the frozen popsicle is easier to remove after running under water."
"They are easy to fill, although I found the funnel was a waste of my energy, trying to keep it upright while pouring liquid into it. This way, I can easily use liquid with bits of chopped fruit, which would normally get stuck in the funnel. Vanilla Greek Yogurt, thinned a little with Thai Coconut Milk, crushed pineapple and a little Sweetened Shredded Coconut."
"My 2 year old went on a milk and veggie strike and asked for ice cream every day this summer. My kid unknowingly eats his favorites: "white ice cream" (milk and vanilla yogurt) and "green ice cream" (LOTS of spinach, banana and almond milk blend). So what if my kid gets to eat ice cream all summer long?!"
"Easy to use and comes with delicious e-book recipes. After product is frozen, follow the directions and run the mold under warm water for 30 seconds."
"I have been experimenting not only with different fruits (blackberries and strawberries make excellent pops), but also with ingredients like peanut butter and dark cocoa (yum; healthy decadence!)."
"I made Chocoate Jello Pudding Pops & they turned out terrific."
"The cups snap firmly into the bottom tray creating a compact, secure unit to slip easily on the freezer shelf without concern that they will tip over and make a mess."

PERFECT SPHERES OF ICE EVERY TIME: The sturdy plastic construction, leak proof design and water fill line make this ice tray fool proof and without messy water drips.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"I was able to get significantly clearer spheres of ice when I boiled tap water before freezing (I poured it into the mold while it was still hot)."
"PRO TIP FOR SOLID CLEAR(er) ICE: Fill it with pre-boiled/filtered or distilled water, and place them upside down in a very small cooler with 1/2 inch of water. A cooler like this would be fine: MIER Soft Cooler Bag Small Insulated Lunch Box Bag for Kids, Girls, Boys(Green). You'll have to place your finger over the hole so it doesn't leak and make sure they stay level in the freezer."
"I recently started drinking The Macallan single malt Scotch. While looking at merchandise on their website, I found an ice sphere press and wanted one immediately. Use as directed and you will achieve a clear practically perfect 2.5" sphere of ice each time. Hardly any dilution of my espresso and by the time I finished there were still 2 resonably large ice spheres in my glass that I could have continued to use in a refill."
"I was hesitant at first not understanding how this would make a Ice ball, but after receiving it I could easily tell how it works. Unlike other rubber trays which can easily bend and release the trays, with this mold, I would need to smack it a few times or gently hit it against something for the ice to pop out."
"The molds worked great."
Best Ice-Cream Scoops
Dig in with the OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop. Pointed tip easily scoops even hard ice cream.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My son is autistic and VERY picky, so in order to get him the nutrition he needs we have to sneak protein powder, fruits and veggies into a vitamix smoothie for him every day and mask it all with a couple scoops of sorbet or frozen yogurt. We have now broken more cheap store bought ice cream scoops than I can count. I had finally had it with the cheap generic store brands and decided to search for and buy a real, solid, well made scoop that would work well and last longer than a few weeks. I have had great experiences with other OXO products (see my reviews) so I decided to give this scoop a try. The first time I picked this scoop up I felt like I was lifting the hammer of Thor, and that's exactly what I wanted!! It's so easy to maneuver into all corners of the carton and to break the surface to get that first good scoop even when frozen solid."
"This peaked design makes quick work of preparing a dish of your favorite frozen treat. The features claim that it's dishwasher safe, but I'm not so sure."
"Although it is strong, it has thin edges that help cut through the frozen ice cream. I recommend this - it is stainless, strong and the tapered thin edges cut through the ice cream. I use our insta-hot or just place in a cup of hot water for a few seconds - then it glides through ice cream."
"The thermal mass in the spoon part is nice too, but you don't really need to melt your way into the ice cream, because this cuts it and curls it easily."
"This is the one you need to buy."
"This is, hands down, the best ice cream scoop that I have ever used."
"My favorite ice cream scooper."
"This is a very good ice cream scooper."

"I used the larger one for a hat on my Tin Man.."
"I find these funnels similar in size to the Norpro 243 3-Piece Plastic Funnel Set, however the plastic set has a tapered stem while the stainless steel set is straight."
"I'm not sure why the funnel has a crease on the part that's inserted in the bottle, it slows down thick sauces to the point of stoppage."
"I am also finding other places in my kitchen where small funnels are useful beyond my original purchase."
"These work very well for adding a powdered drink mix to a fairly small bottle of water."
"I didn't notice the lip in the pictures, but it is great for preventing spills outside the funnel."
""Downside" is that the tube part has a slight rim/flange to it where it meets the inside of the cup part, and you can see in the pic it's more like a basin with a little tube attached vs a funnel."
Best Honey Jars
Fill glass base with 1/3C / 3oz of hot water to prevent honey from crystallizing around spout. A sophisticated alternative to those pudgy plastic honey bears, this honey dispenser releases a thin drizzle of honey into your tea or steamed milk or on top of toast, hot cereal, pancakes or cornbread. When you press the spring trigger, which is attached to the lid, honey flows from the glass nipple at the bottom of the dispenser. To prevent honey from forming a crust at the bottom, limiting the flow, rinse the glass nipple after use. Set the glass in the base to keep honey or syrup fresh and soft.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Your best bet to avoid raw honey from crystalizing is keeping the dippers, spoons, knives OUT of the jar. You have to plan ahead and not just pull out the stopper and watch the honey run all over the floor. 1) Open the jar of honey you will use to refill the dispenser and set the lid upside down onto the counter."
"It has been filled with local organic honey and on display on my kitchen counter for less than two days. It hasn't leaked, and is easily filled with honey or syrup by using a bit of common sense."
"The water heats up the honey making it easy to flow from the dispenser."
"The plugs fit perfectly in the bottom so you can fill up the bottle and when you insert the plunger it pushes out the plug leaving no sticky mess."
"This works great and I love that it's glass although, I would prefer a metal handle to plastic and would have been wiling to pay more for that but I use it almost daily and everyone who stops at my coffee bar has to touch it."
"I love using this - I fill it with honey and leave on the table for quick access to add to food, drinks, etc."
"i just put honey yesterday morning and the drip cup was more than half way full when i came back from office."
"I have little confidence that this design with plastic parts will last longer - I will update this review after using the dispenser for some time. Please note the Use and Care Instructions: it is recommended to fill the base with water - I see how that would work but I do not care myself too much about the idea of having to worry about spilling water mixed with honey ..."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"As with all, you need to dent in the can just a little first, then Squash Away. The side mounted pull-down bars do not bind against anything, and the main frame is pretty heavy powder coated metal. It came with the necessary 4 mounting screws (you'll have to provide your own wallboard anchors), and installation was straight forward. The Crush stroke does NOT go all the way to 180 degrees - rather just about 135 degrees - to full crush. There is a cutout in the bottom tray that is supposed to accommodate beer bottles - but mine failed to catch the underside of the beer cap. See Photos. Overall - I did not buy this to open beer bottles, but rather to crush soda cans, and for that, this is one of the best."
"My crusher could not crush the water bottles of cans that had a bottleneck type design so I went ahead and got this."
"Great for crushing cans and keeping things compact for limited space."
"Works as described and looks nice too."
"I had to replace the handle because it fell off almost right away."

"Made great butter and feels like a solid unit."
"This works perfectly."
"Makes wonderful butter with very little effort!"
"Gears ground together causing metal shavings that could potentially end up in the jar."
"There's a set of gears and rotors to operate the churn and during the long, long time it takes to turn cream into butter, the gears work loose and no longer mesh which makes it impossible to continue turning the handle."
"cranking the handle whips the cream and when it gets to the point where it gets hard to turn the crank stops working."
