Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Tovolo Star Ice Pop Molds, Set of 6, Green
Customer Review: Great product, great service
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very pleased with our shooting star pop molds, at first I was a little concerned that they were too big(about 1/3c per mold) but decided to purchase them because they were the only molds I could find that were BPA free, but my kids handle them just fine (3 and 4 years old) I primarily fill them with yogurt smoothies and on rare occasions chocolate milk.
To release the mold I just run warm water on them for a few moments, or roll them between my hands for a little bit, on a hot day this really takes hardly any time at all. I have never had a problem.
I was so disappointed when one day one of the mold sheathings fell down in the dishwasher and the heating element melted a hole into it. In hope of replacing the single mold I called the Tovolo customer service number I found on the website and left a message asking how I could order a replacement. That same day someone called me back requesting my address, because they had found an extra that was just hanging around the office and wanted to ship it out to me at no charge! Thanks for the great customer service Tovolo! I am very satisfied and would definitely recommend your product to others.
Customer Review: The "cuteness" is deceptive: dribbles everywhere & not at ALL fun to eat.
Summary: 1 Stars
As another reviewer noted, it's seemingly impossible to eat these without dripping ridiculously all over oneself. Most (if not all) people tilt a popsicle towards themselves to eat it rather than holding it perfectly vertical & still. The way this drip-tray is made, the juice accumulates & then spills over the side while you're attempting to enjoy your pop, & it dribbles all over you periodically. If there was a feasible way to suck the juice out of the drip tray to prevent the dribbles, I'd give it another point -- but short of whipping out a straw to periodically suck your popsicle juice from the tray, there is no solution to this design flaw. Popsicles are supposed to be fun, not high-maintenance! Add to that the horrible design -- the star shape looks cute, the molds are easy to fill, yada ya - but none of that matters much in my book if you don't have an enjoyable, chilly treat at the end. Nothing enjoyable about this eating experience. The shape itself is awfully big for even some adult mouths, and the ridges/points of the star make it impossible to "latch" on & actually suck on your popsicle. A totally unsatisfying experience & waste of money.Customer Review: Easy-to-use & safe-plastic popsicle molds!
Summary: 5 Stars
I researched quite a bit before making this purchase and I'm so glad I did! The Tovolo popsicle molds are fantastic!! They are easy to use, easy to clean and they have used non-leaching plastic which makes me very happy (I contacted Tovolo directly to confirm this)!
The size of the popsicles is rather large -- but we've been making healthy fruit-yogurt smoothie pops at home and my three year old can easily polish off an entire popsicle... so the size isn't a problem!!
Be sure to leave a half an inch or so when filling the popsicles or as they expand in the freezer they may spill over. That happened to us once, but the base captured the spill over so the clean up was really easy. They do take up quite a bit of space in the freezer when they are first freezing, but as long as you leave adequate space when you first fill them (so they don't spill over and get sticky), you can remove them from the base and tuck them anywhere in your freezer.
This is a fantastic summer cooking "tool"... and we've been giving them to our friends as presents and so far, everyone else has loved them too!
Customer Review: Pudding Pops Aren't Just for Kids!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
These are so much fun! Pudding pops, juice pops, sorbet pops, and I am determined to figure out how to line the inside with chocolate and then fill it with an ice cream base! This a nice sturdy set that should last awhile. I decided to get this type because I didn't want to be bothered with the wooden sticks and having to replace them. Plus this is the perfect size for my small household. The set makes large pops so those with small children may want to reconsider. I can't imagine giving one of these supersize pops to a two year old!
Prepare to clear a spot in your freezer for this set as it needs its own space. Once the capped molds are in the base, it needs about 8" of head space. The base is about 7" wide.
For refreshing and inexpensive treats at home, healthy or not, you decide, this is the way to go!
This is a great accessory item for the Vitamix. Vita-Mix 1321 Professional Series, Ruby
Customer Review: Good Quality
Summary: 4 Stars
The Tovolo Popsicles were slow on delivery but nice quality. They are a good size popsicle for adults. They are a little big for my 3 year old but not for long since I believe they are of really good quality and will be around for a long time. My only problem is that they are hard to get out of the container they freeze in. I run warm water over them and tried to squeeze the sides and some times the stick pulls right out of them and then they go back in the freezer to re-freeze to the stick which they do! My husband can squeeze them and it works but not me! Thats the only thing that I see as a con but if you get them free from the container they are nice good sized popscicles they look store bought and they are really sturdy and they don't seem to leak because the green handle holds the melted liquid really good.
In my oppinion worth the money and saves you from buying them at the store plus you know what you put in them unlike store bought. You can make them healthy or sugary its all up to you; and thats a nice thing!
