Hexagon Break-Up Sheet Mold

I love the molds it makes it so much easier! What I don’t like is when doing bold flavors such as cinnamon I can’t get the flavor out of the mold! Have tried everything!

LorAnn's Response: Hi, Melissa. To wash the oil-soluble flavors from your molds, we suggest soaking them in hot soapy water.

When using this product, you want to spoon the hot candy in to the molds; the first time using this mold I poured the candy into the molds, went to crack the pieces into gems and cut my thumb on the sharp corners, spooning the candy into the molds didn't over flow the molds which you can.

I volunteer with a local school district's 4th grade maple syrup program. My job is to make a treat for 200+ students and these hexagon "jewel" shapes were PERFECT for it! The syrup was at the hard ball (crack?) stage when poured into the mold and the mold held up perfectly. I'm ordering more!

I love the concept of individual pieces all uniform in shape and size. Unfortunately, when I poured the hot sugar, the edges of the mold started to curl up. Not a lot, but enough that the cavities around the edge didn’t fill completely and the ones in the center overfilled. Not stiff enough.

LorAnn's Response: Hi, Joel! When pouring the candy into the breakup molds, we recommend working from side to side rather than pouring the candy into the center on the mold and letting the sugar spread into the outer cavities. This way, the mold will adjust to the temperature change more evenly and you won't experience the curling. This is demonstrated in our hard candy and lollipop video. Check it out!
