Is this safe to use in the oven or spreading hot homemade toffee on? Is it easy release for the candy making?

It is definitely easy release and I wouldn't hesitate to spread hot homemade toffee on it. I would avoid using it in the oven because it is really designed for countertop use. I would purchase a Silpat for the oven. They are made of the same material, but the Silpat is better suited for oven use and this Fox Run mat is better suited for countertop use, rolling out pastries, etc.

We have used it for making toffee and brittles. It works great for this application. I haven't used it in the oven. I use Silpat in the oven.

I bought this product because I had read on pinterest that it worked great keeping mice out of the garage, It worked great. It is an essential oil and very concentrated so would not be recommended for candy making.

I use this to make jams and jellies with very low sugar. I have never had a problem cooking it, or using it to add to a batch that is too large for a traditional box. Use low sugar boxes with this if you mix. I try to get the same brand as well, for consistency.

I cannot answer your question about whether these can be used in making sugar work or caramel toffee. Sorry.

no problems using it to make candies. If you are looking for a certain temperature, then best to get a digital thermometer.

I use this mold for the hard crack stage. It has warped some and doesn't lay flat until heated up by a new batch again. As it cools, it warps again. That said, it does not affect the candy. It still comes out in the correct shapes.

I've never baked with it. If you try, remember that it is very sweet by volume. It is not bulked up with some carrier power like Truvia is with erythritol, a sugar alcohol.The tiny spoon shipped inside is the amount needed to sweeten a cup of coffee. So you'd have to projct from that if you were to experiment

I think that you can. It is a bit more like brown sugar in that it's more moist than white sugar, but it would probably work. You can look online for how to use the "Ball Test" when making candy, or you can use a candy thermometer to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature as per your recipe. I tried once to make candy on a very humid, overcast day & it did not firm up, so I'd recommend making the candy on a clear day :)

It is great. Very easy to clean. It uses a good amount of sugar but that is what it uses to make the cotton candy.

I use it for all different kinds of baking and chocolate and don't have any problems. I do spray with Pam though if I'm doing cakes just to be safe.

Yes to all questions. Have used it a lot as a mold for home made caramel, never a problem.

honestly i dont know. I know candy making uses higher heat. I do know that i can feel getting a hot glass pan out of oven, the heat is enough that i cant hold it for long but short durations is bearable. FYI they run big. hope this helps

Oh yes. That is what this mold is made for. It worked beautifully for my chocolates. Just be sure to chill mold about 15-20 minutes before trying to unmold, otherwise the chocolate will break apart or will not release very well. Hope this helps.

Hi, Stephanie, Let me start by encouraging you to buy something else. Anything else. This is a flimsy, cheap tool that I regret having bought. I bought it to use as an accessory for fondue dinner parties. I used it just once and it is stored somewhere. But, back to your question. It did maintain the temperature for chocolates (milk and hazelnut chocs) but it took a long time to come up to temperature. If memory serves, I plugged it in about 30 minutes before the dinner and it was not quite up to temperature at desert. By time of cleanup, the temperature was OK and the remaining chocolate was just right. As a novelty, go for it. But as an ongoing usable appliance, forget it. Jay

If you mean to use the mold for chocolate, you have to add little amount of shortining to chocolate while melting. But if you use it for fondant or sugar paste, it won't break.

Naturally non stick. A lot of people has issues with sticking, I made chocolates and they popped right out. .

This is a non-contact thermometer so probably not. In my experience you would want a candy thermometer directly in the liquid. This is great for cooking to get the temperature of pans for searing, etc. though.
