Does anyone on here have a good cold process olive oil recipe for this mold yet including the directions? I'm excited to get started!

I suggest looking at you tube videos and online soap companys. Type in homemade soaps. That's where I got my ideas. Brambleberry.com or essential depot. Most give free recipes. Use the cheapest olive oil u can find. It works well.

I apologize but i have not used it. I will check tomorrow night (won't behome tonight) to see if there is a recipe. I used it for a prop at a party that was a carnival theme.

Did you use the max of 5 pounds of chocolate? Or did you refill? Curious to how long it will last with a large crowd like yours. I'm thinking about splurging for Chocoley's Just Melt It! No oil required! :] Thanks, Leslie

I have made the bread using the mix exactly as recommended, but never found it oily. It is, to my taste, no different than the many regular bread recipes I have used over the years. My one big mistake has been to over-proof it, an unforgiveable gaff which ruins an otherwise good bread. All that said, I can't think of a reason not to try it with less oil.

Lots of trial and error for this stuff.... I found that the mold cannot be very intricate if it is use as THIN a coat as possible. I tried 2 molds I had to leave them out on the counter for over a day til they dried. One was shallow and dried quickly. The other deeper and took longer than a day and 1/2. Certainly didn't work like the video!! I was able to cover the mix with Saran Wrap and continue to work with the stuff over a week and it didn't dry out. I hope this helps

I am not sure why, but my first pan came with the instructions to season it by applying a thin coating of oil and put it in a pre-heated 200 degree oven for an hour. I used extra virgin olive oil, and followed the directions and it came out great. When I bought a second pan, the directions were like yours, but I followed the first set of directions instead. I have had great success with both pans and it is certainly worth a try do it that way instead. Also, to preserve the finish, I only use rubber spatulas on both of them. I hope this helps.

Hey PT, I bought these diamond molds specifically for making truffles. This mold is perfect. The size is good and my truffles looked store bought. They have always tasted good but this is the first time they have looked so good. Let me know how it turns out. Teresa

I have had my pourer for a while now, so I no longer have the box. You might contact Chef's Planet and ask them. I still enjoy the pourer for my olive oil and it is still working well. Some have thought it was too delicate and might break easily. So far, so good with mine. However, I am not a clutz in the kitchen. It pours perfectly, no drips!! It is a wonderful pourer for olive oil and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Good luck with your decision.

1 thing you did wrong was to use olive oil it is a bit heaver then vegetable oil ..I used silicon oil for my build ...Good suggestion for you is to take it all apart again wash off the Olive oil . from the plastic parts and rebuild it since you said it worked before you oiled it and if you want to use oil it get some silicon spray you don't need to use a lot of it just I places like the crankshaft to Cylinder block Assembly and a small shot in the cylinder where the pistons fit into . and that should do the trick ....

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 use the same amount of 00 flour as a regular recipe calls for. I use Martha Stewart's recipe and add 1-2 Tblsp olive oil. I use a pizza stone from Sur La Table that can be used on the grill also. Preheat the stone to 450-500 and the crust turns out perfect after 10-12 min

I have the BB cube mold. I agree it is made well, however, it is a pain to get the soap out. So I am eager to try this. Because I am also going to try putting bubble bars in it:-)

Julie, What i did for myself and members of my family was pretty easy. I just heated up some water(certainly not boiling), and when they bacamevery soft I put them in my mouth and molded them. Basically I placed them on my upper teeth, and then sucked until they were good and snug and molded to my teeth. Then I waited a minute, took them out gently and placed them in cold, cold cold, water. They came out perfect for myself and others. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll certainly help if I can. Happy New Year!! Pete G

I've used olive oil spray and never had any issues with the food baking. Clean up is easy and the pan still looks great.

Hey James, the ice mold is 3.5" in diameter. I did the same thing you are wanting to do, and I used the empty container you'd get from the olive bar at a grocery store or something similar, and they worked just fine. It looks like the space inside the machine where the ice is held, is a little over 4" in diameter. I also used normal ice once all my molds ran out....it was just a chunkier consistency than the fine shave, but still enjoyable. Hope this helps!

I just put some olive oil like a small coat and let it sit for 24hrs before using it. Then rinse and use.

I purcased the Piteba for that very reason, nothing like fresh black walnut oil in homemade icecream. Sounds like you may have the adjustment bolt open to much. Close it down a bit so less comes out. Possibly the walnuts are to moist...but i think that is less likely. It took me two or three tries to get it right. It is a LOT of work. When you get it right, the extruded material coming out the front is hard as rock after it dries for a few minutes. The directions that come with it are very limited but i suggest re-reading them. I got a better sence of how to do it after i tried it and then re-read the directions. Good luck. The good news is...it can be done and the black walnut oil is really potent stuff.
