Are there forged seams inside the molds that could release tiny bits of metal as reportedly happens with the Onyx popsicle molds ?They look alike.

I haven't had a problem with the ones I ordered. I do not see any seams in the molds.

No seams. Look closer, the Onyx molds have rounded tips (many people complain that they look too suggestive), the Metro molds are flat on the tip and they can stand on their own without the stand, and doesn't look quite so suggestive.

Not that I have been able to see. The quality goods very good. We really like these molds.

We have only used them on clay and they work fantastic. Very precise. Not sure about moldable plastic.

Yes,I have written on them. They are not as wide as a popsicle stick, so the writing will be small.

Yes. There are no visible seams of any kind. The only thing on the clear plastic is a tiny metal dot, I assume this is from the manufacturing. I have no problem at all clearly seeing what i put inside it. I us them for a lot of different cards and such. The plastic is soft , clear and durable. A good buy.

No, I think they're just plain old cast metal.I do however, think (judging by weight) that the moving parts are hardened steel.

I believe Eddie Sola is right. Melting point is higher for these other metals so you will need a mold like cast iron. I believe one of the other Brand names makes the same type mold in cast iron. Amazon also sells these. Clancy

I couldn't say as I haven't seen the other brand, but I can say that these are by far the best popsicle molds I have ever used. they release quickly and clean easily. I would recommend them to anyone.

No, they are not compatible, because their edges are different lengths. This blog post has a helpful comparison: http://ehaugsjaa.wordpress.com/2011/04/05/icosidodecahedron-using-magformers/

Yes but send them out for testing. It is my understanding there are all kinds of mold that can show up in the test sample. It can be harmless or harmfull. You cannot tell by just looking at it.

I bought this jello mold for my wife, who had been looking for one for quite a while. She advised me that MOST of the old plastics did contain undesirable contents, so I'd assume YES.

I would say yes because they are just stamped into the metal. I was also used to white plastic with black writing before these cups. So I notice a big change. But there is a hole in the end of handle and one could easily put a different color ring, or the such, on them to help tell them apart easier. Hope that this helps.

I don't know - I did not use with a mold. I used them alone and they worked beautifully!

They come as one inseparable batch. Upon freezing, I had to spend a few minutes prying the blue top away from the mold as the sticks don't always stand straight up and down AND it's just hard to pry plastic from frozen popsicles. Then, it was difficult just getting one as you do have to run under cold water for fastest extraction (you can't just soak one mold in a cup either as they're too close). It's a messy process and I found (as long as I ate them fast enough)--a quick wrap in saran wrap or a snack bag and back in the freezer was the easiest way to save myself the dance each time I felt like having one.

Hi, I bought a few sets of these popsicle molds as they are AMAZING! Each mold holds about 3.5 ounces (this is with leaving a little bit of space from the top for the lid). You can fill them as much or as little for a perfect popsicle each time! Enjoy, Nala

These are obviously molded items. The ice tray you received may not have had the mold-release chemicals (these would only be on the surface, not to worry) completely removed. Just a theory.

Yes, each mold makes just one ice cube (technically a sphere, even more a technically a Death Star, but I still call it an ice cube...) at a time.

So long as the inside of the base and the outside of the silicone is dry there should be no difficulty pulling them out once they are frozen. The sides are straight and if you pull directly up you shouldn't have a problem. What is difficult is getting the silicone mold off the popsicle itself.
