Could you put melted crayons in these? Or would the heat of the melted crayons ruin or melt the mold?

I haven't melted crayons in these, but I've melted crayons in other things. I would guess they'd ruin the mould. It's a very thin plastic mould so I don't think it'd cope so well. Also these frogs end up pretty big so I think they might be too big for crayons that are easy/comfortable to use. Hope that's of help.

I would say yes.. It is a really nice product. We used them to melt crayons in to have heart crayons for valentines class party . They were a hit! Very durable and would be great for carmels. I would love to know what your recipe is.

I don't think hot caramel would be hot enough to melt the trays, so you should be able to make caramels in them.

Yes, that's what I used. I added food coloring also. I had the best luck using a double boiler with the candy melts. The texture was more consistent & flowed into the molds. Make sure the molds are thoroughly cooled before trying to remove candy from molds. Have fun!!

they can! i bought them for my daughter and was surprised by how easily they melted actually. :)

They should be ok vacuum sealed. Maybe store them in the fridge or freezer. I keep mine in their original packaging in my pantry and have not had any problems with melting. And I keep my home pretty warm. The only concern would be if there is an ingredient that would go rancid and make you sick. But I don't see anything just glancing at it, that stands out as a problem there.

I don't know why not. there's nothing plastic on them that would melt or anything. I know I used to put my Revere Ware Dutch oven into the oven without incident, although I do prefer cast iron for that.

Yikes - pretty sure this would result in a melting pile of plastic/gel. You can keep them cool in the frig and then apply them. If you're looking for heat - use a different product....there's a microwavable or freezer product from Mother Love.

Yes. They're made of silicon, so you won't get a drink hot enough to melt them. They're not so thick that you won't be able to feel the liquid coming up, but not so thin that they're flimsy, either.

Yes! You can boil these. If you are concerned about them melting, you may want to bring your water to a good rolling boil then throw them into to the pot and put a top on it. Turn off the heat and let it sit there for about 10 minutes. Then take them out with a pair of tongs and let air dry on a clean towel. I hope this helps! :)

I purchased this item to use for crafting. I make crayons to sell at craft shows and on Etsy. I love the mold however it doesn't work well with crayon. If you are going to use it for anything other than ice it may not work for you.

Prismacolor colored pencils are wax based, so unlike the usual Crayola, they do not leave a "powdery" substance behind. However, like Travis mentioned prior to my comment, they will eventually leave a waxy buildup, but it's more of a thin film that you can scrape off gently if it bothers you. Other than that, there's very even coverage, and they should work fine.

I found the paper kind of hard to peel, especially on certain colors. They melted well, I broke them up and put them in silicone molds at about 250 for 10 minutes, just keep an eye on them.

I've microwaved in them plenty of times, just remember the containers are rated to 100ºC (that's 212ºF!) so be sure not to heat it too much. The plastic is safe, but the container won't be much use if it melts.

I'm not certain. I do know that it wasn't heat resistant. When I poured hot mix into the mold it changed shape. This could have been my mistake certainly. I only tried them once.

I used a VERY light spray of non stick spray for my FIRST set of molds. It usually takes multiple sets to complete the finished process. After I freeze my mold for 10 minutes I flip them over to wax paper and refill the mold. I'm not sure what brand if melts you're using but I've used Wilton and I've never had an issue. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Have a great day.

I can say yes to Crayola. I haven't used any other kind, but I don't see why you couldn't - basically have to keep you hands wet to mold the clay. As long as you have that type of clay, it should work.
