Hi! Would I be able to seal these popsicle molds with a bad or heat sealer? I'd like to seal them rather than tie them closed. Thanks!

I had a hard time sealing them with a heat sealer. The plastic was too thin to seal without melting most of the time. Only fill the wrappers 2/3 of the way and then tie.

I sent these back as soon as I got them. you could seal if the bags don't have a slit down the side.

The package recommended to tie them off or use a twist tie. The plastic may be too thin for heat sealing.

Shelley...My husband hasn't used them enough yet to tell, but I imagine they might. I just read that they can be sealed with varnish or polyurethane.Hope this helps.Kathy B

My experience with these is not good. Mine turned to purple within one month of purchasing them...without having opened them. My other batch had not turned yet, but when I tried to seal the left overs, it did not work. These are meant to be used immediately and completely, I think. So, if you're not ready to use all of them, wait until you are. Hope this helps.

The base the silicone molds are attached to is hollow, so there's no solution in the base to freeze.. The instructions say fill, then freeze at zero degrees for at least 6 hours. I'm sure freezing time varies depending on your freezer and probably the substance you're trying to freeze, but you won't have a popsicle in 10 minutes.

I am very sorry that i cannot answer your question. I bought these molds as part of an October birthday present. I won't be using them myself, and have not used them. I do believe that these molds were specifically designed for frozen treats, as the name implies. I suggest that you email the vendor directly to get the best answer. Best of luck in your quest to find the answer.

Yes they are supposed to snap closed. I had to work a long time and push really hard to get them to do that. It still didn't work for me. I just never could get it to seal like I think it is supposed to do. Maybe it is just me, but I wouldn't buy them again.

I have been taking the material out of the molds after 24 hours in a warm place. 65F-70F. I usually put the molds in the freezer for 30-45 minutes to help with releasing from the mold. I've found that freezing helps greatly to easily release the material from the molds. Note, I am not experienced with making molds and I'm not sure if the freezing technique is detrimental or not.

I have not done that yet. You may want to try it first. I do use these a lot, I just never froze them. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

I've never tried to make more than 2 batches of pops. I had the 3 pop maker so it was never necessary. My guess is that if you are having difficulty freezing a third batch, putting the Zoku in the freezer will eventually cause it to freeze but it probably won't be much faster than freezing pops in a conventional mold. I.e. it could take hours. The Zoku might actually make the freezing process longer because the cold from the freezer has to get through the Zoku before it gets to the pop.

They are completely coated in the silicone (just double checked all 5 pieces to be sure). However, there is a seam holding the two silicone molds together, it is not one solid piece. Over time this may be problem, I'm not sure. Hope this helps

I also use them in a safe. The reason for the heat sealing is to keep the rest of the packets from absorbing moisture from the air until you use them. I keep mine in a good sealed zip lock bag and make sure I get the air out of it. so far no problems. Hope this helps

How long ago did you order? I got a follow up email from the company who sent the Popsicle molds about 7 days after I ordered. In that email it states if you did not get your e-book to contact them and they would help. I had nothing but good luck with them and they were very responsive.

I haven't tried to use them in this manner but, to be honest, I think that would be asking for trouble. These lids are tight, but not bulletproof. You should probably try to find something where the lid screws on tightly, rather than pushes down to form a seal. My opinion only.

I have used these for years. I bake multiple types of bread (40 loaves total last year during the holidays) and they all freeze well. I wrap them tightly in freezer plastic (very heavy duty) and then seal them with tape. I use labels to keep the names straight. Good luck.

I just tried it and my popsicle is stuck inside the maker... so far its not working out for me

I have noticed that there is "residual" ice flakes in the seems of these after a use. Therefore, rinse them off with water to melt away the residual, wipe off the excess water. put them together and put water in it. careful not to squeeze too hard which will allow the seems to get filled up with water (causing that line or crack). allow several hours to completely freeze.

I did use them for freezing, using my vacuum sealer for the jar. seems to have worked well.
