Freshware 8-Cavity Oval Silicone Mold for Soap, Cake, Bread, Cupcake, Cheesecake, Cornbread, Muffin, Brownie, and More

I make pretty infamous triple layer creme de menthe brownies. Despite the hours involved during the making/baking/chilling process, the worst part was always trying to divide them up and watching the beautiful top melted andes mint layer crack and shatter no matter how or at what temperature I tried to cut. And don't even think about using plastic or even cheap metal utensils to try and pry these suckers out. I was hesitant to try silicon because I am NOT an edge person- I want soft chewy almost gooey brownies. It was a nervous process and I learned a few things after the first time but I will NEVER GO BACK TO PAN brownies ever again! These are superb! They bake evenly without making everything hard edges. This is one of the few molds that make brownies big enough for my liking. They clean easily- I just soak a little then stick them right in the dishwasher. The brownies pushed out relatively easily as well with minimal corners being left behind.What I learned- still grease them- I either use a little butter or a soft spray. Spoon brownie batter into each (less than half way). Spooning the thick creme de menthe layer didn't work as it doesn't pool out and spreading it with spatula or spoon didn't work either, so next time I will dispense with a strong plastic zip lock with a corner cut off. The melted chocolate top layer was easy.I highly recommend, these are high quality and have saved the day

I've been making cold process tallow soaps for our extended family for years. My old molds were the hard white plastic things that had to be oiled with mineral oil if one wanted the bars to pop out. These are just the right size for a bar of hand soap, and very flexible - no need to oil these, the soap comes out easily and perfectly as soon as it hardens. There is no decoration unless you want to play with colors. Plus these arrived rapidly. I ordered some much more decorative soap molds, some of which took 2 months to arrive.

Great mold! I purchased this mold because I wanted to try my hand at making glycerin soap. I had some breastmilk that was expired in the freezer so I decided to make soap with it! These molds make bars on the smaller size which is perfect since I was making soap for my baby. The molds use about 1 pound of glycerin so if you have one of the standard two pound blocks, you will either have to make two batches or purchase two molds. I have made soap using plastic molds once before and removing the soap can be tricky - not with this mold! I absolutely LOVE silicone molds as their uses are versatile and many. The soap was very easily removed without issue. This mold was also very easy to clean. I plan on using them again for my next batch of soap, but these would also be great for making brownies, or cute individual cakes. Especially when it's Easter - they're egg shaped!Just remember - if you do use these in an oven, place the molds on top of a cookie sheet - do not place in oven by itself! You risk spilling and making a mess inside your oven!!Will definitely be buying other molds from Freshware!

I purchased this to make square cupcakes for my sons Minecraft Themed Birthday Party. I was really happy with the final result of the cupcakes, however these were not the easiest to use. Granted this held up great, cooked the batter great, did what I need it to do, but my complaints are that it does only make 8 at a time. And for the price, I wasnt going to buy 2 of these, so I had to just make a lot of batches. The cupcakes did stick a bit and were a little hard to get out, but after a few batches, it got easier once I got the hang of it. You should only fill these up half way, otherwise the batter expands too much and it goes all over the top. The tops of the cupcakes are very round and fluffy, so they all had to be cut off to give the square look needed. This is a quality product and I am sure is amazing for soaps and what ever else people might use this for. It did work for baking and ultimately did give me what I need with a little work. You can see from my photo that my son did enjoy them very much!

Rarely does a product perform as well as, or better than its description, but this one does. This mold came out of the dishwasher as shiny and clean as when it was brand new! All my other silicone molds come out with a white film that I have to scrub off by hand.Also, when they say non-stick, they mean it! I didn't use any grease/oil or flour and everything popped out perfectly. I used a different non-stick muffin pan with the same batter at the same time, and I had to spend 20 minutes carefully prying them out.This mold is absolutely amazing! I will look at this brand first from now on!

I've bought several Freshware molds over the last few months and I'll be buying more. My only regret is not doing my homework a little more. I was buying expensive silicone molds until I discovered Frehsware. They're identical to the more expensive brands but since the pricing is so great I'm able to buy at least double what I normally would be able to buy. They can be used for everything too: baking, decorating cakes, and many other things. I love them and would like to see more shapes and sizes available for purchase. Freshware...make some of the 3D molds that I've been seeing, you have the quality to make some really nice ones. Mixed with your great pricing as well, I'd buy lots of those. =)

I bought this for my very first trial of melt and pour soap making. I picked this mold specifically because it had a ring that I felt would keep the bulk of the soap bar out of the wet soap dish. The soap came out of the mold easily. One pound of soap base made exactly six bars. My bars came out perfect.I saw the review from the "professional" soap maker who felt that the oval shape would cause water to pool in the bar and melt the soap. The other side of the soap is completely flat, so I didn't see how this would be a problem if you put the oval down and used the edge that it has to keep the bulk of the soap bar out of the wet soap dish. This worked so well that I will be buying more.
