Home made popsicles sticking to mold
We had some great organic popsicles made from pineapple. They were a bit pricey so we decided to make some ourselves. The problem is that we can't get them to release from the plastic molds very well. Other than running them under hot water, is there a trick we can use to get these things to release a little easier?
Best Answer
Try silicone molds, I use them for ice cubes and they are much easier to release ice from than plastic trays.

How do you keep popsicles from sticking to mold?
Once you remove your popsicles from their mold, lay them on a parchment or wax-paper-covered baking sheet (or plate if that's what will fit in your freezer) and refreeze for 15 to 20 minutes until completely re-frozen. This will keep them from sticking together when stored.What is the easiest way to remove popsicles from molds?
There are several ways to unmold ice pops. I find the best method is to fill a pan or container that is at least as tall as your mold with warm (not hot) water, and briefly dip the mold in until the pops loosen, about 20 to 30 seconds. Remove the mold from the water and place it on a sturdy surface.How do you get popsicles out of stainless steel molds?
Popsicles made in a stainless steel mold are the quickest to loosen when run under hot water (metal conducts heat faster than plastic), plus the molds themselves are dishwasher-safe and long-lasting.How to Make Popsicles Without a Mold
