My candy mold has a fuzzy white substance on the underside. Could it be mold?

If it is evenly grayish, I would be inclined to think it is just discoloration. I wash mine in the dishwasher and don't have any of that. Mold would get worse. Just keep it clean.

I haven't had any problems with mine so I'm not sure what it is. Be sure to keep it clean and dry. Wish I had a better answer.

I've had that problem....use some olive oil or pam spray( very lightly) on the inside of the top and side mold pieces.......the jello should come out much easier and not break up ...hope this helps. Gail

I have never had mold so I am not sure, I would try using vinegar and water first.

You can try a mousse (sp) or a cheese cake. spray with pam so it wont stick to mold.

Its a hard cheese, so I would suggest two options. A: Maybe avoid the Ziploc - the mold could be because of saliva/moisture. B: try putting in refrigerator and see what happens. Please do let me know if either option works.

Yes this is mold.I cleaned/soaked it almost weekly, with bleach. And if I had energy, I would remove the bump and clean underneath.

It happens to me too, make sure you do not overfill the mold. That seems to help.

Bamboo is naturally resistant to mold. I never had a problem with mold. Maybe there was something in the fabric that started to mold and left that trace on the rack.

I use this mold for the hard crack stage. It has warped some and doesn't lay flat until heated up by a new batch again. As it cools, it warps again. That said, it does not affect the candy. It still comes out in the correct shapes.

I do not think I have a fungus problem, but I have noticed some discolored stuff inside my unit. I wipe it out when I change the filter. It is the same color as the copper part of the filter, so I thought it was residue from that. Eek.

Actually everything I make usually has more of a runny consistency as with thicker things - find there are too many bubbles in the popsicle. When I did try something thicker, I scooped it with a spoon and kept tapping the bottom of the mold against the counter to flatten it out.

Just received mine, and it was covered in pale gray/white mold. Disappointing.

I doubt the container has anything to do with the appearance of mold. I can say the longest we have had butter sit in our bell was close to two weeks - and there was no hint of degradation to the butter. We keep two marble units on the counter all the time. I'm wishing they would make a two stick size as much butter as we use. Love this butter bell idea!

Wow, mine has never gotten moldy, so the only thing that I can suggest is that you make sure you pour all the excess ice and water out and make sure that it is dry. I don't use mine every day so I don't know how much extra work that will add to your usage. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

I purchased the clear version, which is the one in the picture. I simply rinsed it myself with cold water and let it air dry. Haven't had any problems with mold or any other issues. It works really well for me. If u place it in the dishwasher -which i haven't tried- I would take it out before the heating cycle for drying kicks in. That heat may be too strong for this item.

It is harmless as it has to do with the baking process of the bread. If the bread gets moist the mold will be more green, stuck to the bread, and will definitely have hair on it. I've gone through cases of this stuff and left one in the cupboard too long and that one did get moldy but that white powder is nothing to worry about.

If it looks tan, beige, cream or even a tiny bit greenish then that's normal. But if it looks like it might be spotted with green or black spots that are furry or frothy looking then that is definitely mold. Check the scent: if it smells a stale, rancid, sour etc. then you should probably send it back. In the meantime use a search engine to look up 100% unrefined shea butter to learn more about the characteristics of the all natural product. Hope this helps.
