Stinky but otherwise excellentby Amazon Customer (4 out of 5 stars)
July 3, 2013
I'm wondering if Grazia is getting these from more than one factory, with varying quality control. Most of the reviews don't mention a bad smell, but, like at least one other reviewer, mine were pretty stinky and the smell didn't go way with washing. I'm assuming it's mold release agent. It's slowly faded over the last three weeks and now they barely smell. I hand washed them several times, then froze several batches of water in them, so that if they're leaching silicone most of it would leach out before I used them. I do consider them safe for use, but opinions may vary on that, of course. Aside from the smell, they are ingenious little molds, and I like them very much. The caps on mine are water tight if seated fully, but the seal is just a friction seal. You know how an open juice box squirts if you grip it too tightly? If you're not gentle with these they do the same thing; the cap pops off and splooshes juice everywhere. I love that I can lay them on their side in the freezer though, and while I put them into a zippy freezer bag just in case, they've leaked maybe a tablespoon total after about 15 uses. Temperature seems to affect the seal - when I use a warm liquid, the lid's grip seems more tenuous. I find that once frozen if I run the pop molds under the tap for a few seconds, I can easily push the ice up in the mold, and have a built in drip guard. Honestly, smell aside, these are just about perfect for my needs. Well pleased, and maybe when I order a second batch I'll get lucky and get a non-stinky set. *crosses fingers hopefully*
Great Purchase! So easy to use! Great vibrant colors! I want more!

These, just under 4 oz, popsicle molds are wicked awesome.
I have made up my own recipes. I started with hard plastic molds, which are ok, but the sticks are a bit awkward and... well these are just perfect.
I can fill them all the way up and tilt them a bit to the side to pop on the cover without air bubbles. They freeze nicely. Once frozen I generally let one sit for a couple of minutes (not too long, especially if hot), tug a bit at the bottom to loosen the silicon sleeve from the treat, take off the cover, push up and enjoy.
They wash really well. Add warm water and a drop of soap and shake well, rinse, repeat. They are flexible so if something had dried inside it is not too difficult to reach.
I will probably purchase another set soon so that I can make them less often. This is one of my most favorite recent purchases.
Larger than I thought, nice product

I'm not sure why, but I expected this product to be smaller -- each one is 8 inches long and that surprised me. Just need a little time to get used to the large size, I guess, because the popsicle maker I've been using is smaller and makes these feel huge. They seem to work well, and clean easily. I'm standing them up in my freezer, because I don't quite trust the seal -- no particular reason, other than that it just doesn't FEEL water-tight. I'll try laying one on it's side with a dish under it as soon as I have room in my freezer! The only thing I don't like about the product, and this is my own personal foible, I realize, is that I'd prefer being able to start eating the thing from the small end, rather than from the huge end. Just my preference. And of course you can see from the picture that once you take the lid off, you're going to be starting on the bigger end, but I just didn't notice.
BIG, COLORFUL, & EASY TO USE!

THESE POPS ARE EVEN BETTER WHEN YOU SEE THEM. NO ODORS AFTER WASHING. TOPS STAY ON JUST LIKE SELLER SAYS. SO EASY TO FREEZE ANY TREATS NOW. SIZE IS LARFE SO FOR SMALLER CHILDREN MAYBE NOT FILL AS ADVISED. BUT I HAVE NO SMALL CHILDREN SO THEY ARE PERFECT! I REALIZED AFTER YOU CAN ORDER 6 . I ORDERED TWO SETS OF 4 BUT I HAVE A FRIEND WHO EATS GREEK YOGURT EVERY DAY TO HELP RAISE HER PROTEIN LEVELS. I KNEW FIXING DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF YOGURT WOULD BE GREAT WITH THESE SO I GAVE HER MY EXTRA SET.BUT I WILL BE ORDERING MORE. I AM THINKING CHRISTMAS PRESENTS FOR THE MOMS WHO HAVE EVERYTHING! EVERYONE KNOWS FROZEN FRUIT & YOGURT BARS AT STORES ARE SO EXPENSIVE. NOW THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE WITH THESE POP MAKERS! I AM SO GLAD AMAZON OFFERS SUCH GREAT PRODUCTS THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE TO BUY!
Really great molds!

I just bought these molds and I love them. I mix up veggie/fruit smoothies and freeze them for my kids. I stand 3 of the molds in a tall plastic cup to fill them easily. I add the lids and then I put the molds still sitting in the cup in the freezer. (that way they don't fall over). The kids are able to push the freezie up on their own and they make very little mess. I wash them in the dishwasher by placing them over one of the rods meant to divide the glasswear. Ours have little clips to hold up lids or stemwear and I use those to keep them on. They wash up very well.
Easy enough for kids to do

My kids love these. We love smoothies and just blending frozen fruit with orange juice. Using the magic bullet with the kids, they blend the fruit with OJ and then spoon the mixture into the molds and pop them in the freezer. The molds do not stand up so you need a place to lie them, or a door shelf in the freezer, or a ziploc bag. We spoon the mixture in because it seems like the least likely way to make a mess with thicker mixtures. The bright colors are fun. They wash up easily with soap and water (haven't tried the dishwasher). If the kids pan to eat immediately from freezer, I run hot water over them for 5 - 10 seconds to allow for easier push up action. They are not to cold to hold in hand, they are cold but not to the point where you have to keep setting them down, rubbing your hand, or hear mom my fingers are freezing. Overall we love the product and will buy a second set, would have loved a blue or red color as well.
Nice for kid treats

I make homemade popsicles for the kids as a healthy/allergen-free alternative to purchased ones. Previous hard plastic popsicle molds have broken too easily so am trying these. Have only used for one batch of popsicles so far but they worked great. Easy to fill. Was concerned it would be hard to freeze without spilling since there's no "holder" for the molds, but the lids seem to hold tight enough to place into the freezer on an angle amidst other frozen goods. The size is a little large for kid popsicles - but the kids ate about half in one setting, put the lid on and put back in the freezer for the next day. Cleaned up nicely in top rack dishwasher. Too soon to rate longevity but so far, so good.

Bought this for our son and it is a great product. They are made out of a durable silicon like material and have gotten a lot of use out of them. Compared to the other Popsicle products out there these seem to be higher quality based off the other reviews I read.
I am rating it 4 out of 5 stars as it is somewhat difficult for a younger child to use. They are somewhat big and compared to other types with the plastic handle it can be difficult for a younger child to finish all of the Popsicle.
Would definitely purchase again though.
Easy to use, take up little room in freezer.

Bought a set and used them after soaking in soapy water and vinegar and running through the dishwasher (thanks to the advice of other reviewers).
Made a batch of popsicles using half a standard recipe. Popped them in the freezer and loved how they fit in the nooks and crannies of my freezer. We have a french door fridge and I was a little worried that they would be too tall to sit upright in the bottom basket of the freezer but there was plenty of headroom.
The result was delicious popsicles. I left one in the freezer for about three weeks to see if the flavor would be affected. It wasn't.
I was so pleased with them that I decided to buy another set so I could use a full recipe. The price had increased so I bought a set of Norpro Silicone molds. I thought how different could they be other than the color?. It might be my imagination but the Norpro set didn't seem to be made with silicone that is as thick, flexible and durable. Although I followed the same procedure before use I did experience an "off" taste after a few days of being in the freezer. I can only describe it as an old, musty, freezer burn taste.
So lesson learned. Instead of saving a bit of money I should have bought another set of the Grazia molds.
Excellent

Just used these for the first time for a ketogenic-diet cream popsicle. Though I was worried about how easy it would be to extract/use the creamsicle--it was effortless and so easy. The pop makers are wonderful, fun colors and seem to be well made. They also do clean up easily. The caps are secure. I am sensitive to smells and would not use something for food in particular if it presented a plastic smell, but had no such problems on the set received. Ordering a second set (CAUTION -- I see they have more than doubled in price since I ordered a week or so ago!! guess I'll wait). If they last, and the guarantee indicates they should, they'll be a great addition to a diet with challenges. The prompt, courteous and helpful followup to the rapid delivery from their customer service was a nice surprise, however.
