How much butter is needed to fill the mold?

Hi Heidi, I am not sure I remember. I softened two sticks of butter and had left-over. Remember to oil the mold prior to use. It swells if you don't and is hard to separate.

Being a steel mold, you will have to cast some bullets just to get it warm enough to allow the lead to flow properly to completely fill the cavities. What I do is rest the mold on the edge of the melting pot while waiting for the lead to melt, which reduces the heat-up time for the mold. Doing it that way, you can normally have the mold up to temperature with less than 20 castings.Once the mold is up to the proper temp., casting usable bullets only takes a few seconds each. Afterwards, with processing with lube and gas checks, you end up with an average time invested of about 30 to 40 seconds per bullet. But, the money savings is, in my opinion, worth the time and effort.

I can pull it out and do some measurements... but for a quick answer I would say no. Roughly 6-8 would be my estimate (depending on the batter). Not sure if you are going to put icing / rolled fondant on it and how exact you need the sphere shape, but you could bake also a round 8" in addition and put it under the dome...with icing you could "hide" this expansion .. hope this helped

You have to really press the butter into the bell with the flat edge of a knife or a spoon. We put just about an inch or less of water. Love ours!

A half of a cube of butter works perfect. If you put in more it does get messy. I love it because I do not usea lot of butter in my diet.

I measured it and to fill up the mold to the top it takes more or less 90 ml of resin, but depending on whether you want to make it thiner or thicker, you don't have to fill up the whole mold, and you can also add objects to it, so it will take even less resin. 90 ml is about 3 oz, but that's only if you fill it to the edges.

Hi, I bought a few sets of these popsicle molds as they are AMAZING! Each mold holds about 3.5 ounces (this is with leaving a little bit of space from the top for the lid). You can fill them as much or as little for a perfect popsicle each time! Enjoy,Nala

Yeah, that is a lot to have left over. I didn't follow the directions since I read on here beforehand that the measurements were off. I usually use 3 cups of milk and about 1 1/2 to 2 Tbsp of starter and that's it. I don't use the dry milk powder.

I use a small amount of butter. Small amount of oil works well. Dry not so much.

It's curved, so that question is a little complicated. Here are it's widest/longest dimensions:Space it takes up: 8 1/2" X 4"Space for butter: 6" X 2 1/2"

to fill both sides, you actually need more than one box of cake batter. I feel like I used 1 plus another 1/3. But it turned out amazing.

You take your butter, hopefully real salted or un salted butter, and press it into the dome part of the keeper. Then you put some water, not a lot, just enough to form a seal and put it in the cylinder of the keeper, then turn the dome back into the cylindrical part. It's the best. Sometimes I have not pressed enough and when I open the keeper the butter is floating in the jar. I just scoop it up, press it tighter and keep on going. Naturally, if you live in an area that is normally very warm, I'm not sure how it will react. I live in Maryland. Hope it works for you. We love ours.

Depends how much you used on each one. If you sprinkle as opposed to roll, there is no reason you couldn't cover 20-30. IF you are rolling the cake pop in the glitter, I would say more like 10-20.

I used it full, but I did notice that when there is about an inch of butter or cheese the pump will not dispense since it will not remain primed. Your concern is genuine and a small amount will not work with the pump because of the need of having it primed. What is the measure of the amount, I do not know.

You need 3 Tbsp of powder if your recipe calls for 1 Cup buttermilk. Mix the powder in with all the dry ingredients, then add a scant cup water (about 15 Tbsp) when your recipe calls for the buttermilk to be added. (This is based on the package's unhelpful insructions of how to make a whole gallon of buttermilk!) Hope that helps.

I believe the capacity is about 1 oz and maybe about an inch and a bit across. I used this mold for bath melts. A very crisp clean mold that gives a shiny surface.

Just over 3 Tablespoons; I do add it to my dry ingredients and then replace the buttermilk with water- works fine if you whisk dry ingredients first to prevent lumps.
