How do you cure the brownie molds before using them and is this a one time process?

Wash them before first, and just spray them with PAM before use each time. Nothing more to it ;-)

The book says, place molds on oven tray, pour batter into two molds and bake at 430 (220c) for 8-9 mins. Remove from oven and de-mold onto oven tray and cook, pattern side up, for a further 4-5 mins.

I have the same concern, and I think I may have an answer. A Lodge cast iron muffin/cornbread pan. (available on Amazon) Get two of them, and be able to make 12 little round brownies at once -- 2.5 inch diameter and 1.5 inch deep -- and they all All Edge. I will come back and comment if I ever try this.

I used the Wilton brand "chocolate" little disks, they come in all colors, available at Michaels. Just melt in double boiler or little dipper crock pot. Harden in about 10-15 in freezer.

Yes, it is very easy. Do just as the other users indicated. If for some reason you happen to have a problem (which virtually never happens), just leave the mold at room temperature for a few minutes or float the mold in warm water for about a minute (with both lids still on) and it will come right out.

Sorry I wanted to use it for the same thing just havent started the project yet. Im wondering if you open the package and use just a little piece if you can reseal it?

Flat on one side. I made the molds, let them set, then took them out and filled the mold again. I placed the first halves on the second halves and put them in the fridge or freezer in order to make full pieces. The ones done with regular chocolate worked wonderfully. The ones I tried with added food coloring didn't work so well. The food coloring made the chocolate too stiff before it made it to the mold.

Baking soda, barkeeper, or bon ami works better with a non-abrasive sponge, make into a paste and ad in a circular motion. Let set for a while and then repeat as necessary. Hope this helps BUT remember clean after each cooking episode so the build-up is less. . Good Luck .

From what I read, you do not want to wait until they turn brown. They will mold. I do it when they are green.

Yes, but the instructions are vague and the recipes are brief & useless. Spray the inside of the mold (both halves) with cooking spray. Fill the cups (bottom half, without the holes) about halfway. Put the top half on, it should sort of snap into place. Set it on a cookie sheet and bake it 12-15 minutes at whatever temp your recipe calls for. I think this is really designed to be used with box mixes.When you take it out of the oven, let it cool completely before taking out the cake balls. Otherwise you get steam burns, the things fall apart, and all sorts of bad things happen. Trust me, let them cool.Then you can put your sticks in them and decorate them. 1 box mix fills the mold twice. Yes, but the instructions are vague and the recipes are brief & useless.

Yes we tested this on cupcakes and muffins. Assume mini bundt cake work the same have not tested brownies. Hoping to try this weekend.

Yes you fill the side with no hole and then fit the side with the hole on the top of the side with batter. It kind of snaps in place like loose Tupperware. The directions say any cake box recipe would work but I only bake from scratch. I've only tried them out twice. Even though my brownie experiment didn't work well; my cake recipe rose perfectly and made great round pops. Good luck!

When I did it I poured my chocolate into each of the molds and let it set. After it was firmly set, I popped them out of the mold. Then I warmed up a small skillet and carefully held the chocolate with the flat side out and touched it to the pan just long enough to get the chocolate melted enough I could then place another chocolate shell on it to make it fully 3D

It is possible to make one square at a time by simply pouring the batter into only one side of the mold. The temperature setting shouldn't need to be changed, but if it does, simply lower it a bit.

Not exactly. It depends on the thickness of the clay. The item can be 1" long or 1' long and still require the same baking time if the clay is the same thickness. Refer to the package instructions for how many minutes per thickness and at what temp is required for it to cure without burning.

I have not found this on my molds. They sometimes have a little whitish tint as if they have dried out. I just wash it off. I use mine for chocolates truffles.

Yes! I used them after we did the chocolate bricks for jello and it worked fine. Just let the jello cool a bit so it's not boiling hot when you pour it in. But not too long. ..a couple minutes tops.
