The stick is not holding the popsicle and just coming out of the frozen popcicle. What to do??

I run it under hot water for a few seconds---just to loosen up the popsicle---before attempting to take it out.

I am having the same problem Although I have only tried "Adult popsicles" and they have booze in them. I will try the reg and see what happens. I really think maybe the stick is too short.

I can't be sure, but I've only had one time the stick came out by itself. You probably need to run warm or hot water over the mold more to loosen it. I always do that anyway, but sometimes it take more than what I normally do.

What u do is after u remove the black rubber lining ( U just peel it off) the 2 plastic red pieces pop apart. it may take a small amount of force (very little). The 2 pieces snap together in certain places. I hope that this will help u!

I find that when I get ones that are stubborn to come out of the mold, I just stick it under some running warm water, and it melts enough to free it from the mold. If you're pulling on the stick and the whole stick is coming out and leaving the ice pop behind, then yes you either didn't fill it up enough (not enough pop for the stick to 'grab on' to) or they just aren't frozen enough.

Sounds like it froze too fast. Try turning the handle the other way until you get good movement, then reverse direction again. I find that some very rich ice cream batters will be much stiffer than sorbets or batters with a little alcohol added. When I made maple bacon bourbon ice cream a couple of weeks ago it never really firmed up, but the pistachio I made last weekend got firm and hard to crank right away.

Just take stick and dip. Use a cup (Dixie or small solo)-I always wait until I get result before I dump it out. Make sure your don't dip past the max line. If you get the whole stick wet, it won't work at all.

If you're question is about the paper covering the sticky area not releasing, then you might try putting the unit (not the lozenge) in the freezer for 5 minutes. It should release easily then.

Tammy, I figured out after that happened to me was to get the motor running and pour the mixture in using the slot in the top. I haven't had any more trouble with it sticking. It does seem to freeze up quicker than the time it says in the booklet. I scrap it out with a rubber spatula and put it in a container to finish in the freezer. I got a good hint from another web site to put a little acholol ( rum or tequila)in it to keep it from freezing rock hard. Hope this helps

Hi! I had the same problem. However what I do is ..place the popsicles by water just for a second...and they easily come out...

That's actually happened to me! To the best if my knowledge, the machine doesn't produce as small and fine an ice as is needed for a proper snow cone. Melting it slightly by pouring the syrup on top causes it to melt back into chunks

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.

I just work it around, prying out a little at a time & in short order it can be popped out. The warmth from my hands helping as I go. Also, try not filling it all the way to the top before freezing. The water will expand while it freezes. Full to about 80% to 85%. Hope that helps.

Give it just a minute or two (not too long or they will defrost obviously) and then I just hold a hand on each side and try to twist the trays a little. I know it feels like there is no give but they will pop out. I've also run the back under warm water just for a second and then flipped it onto the lid and they slide right out! Good luck!

No I cannot. I tried the popsicle maker 3 x and each time mine came out a mess that I donated 2 of them to Habitat for Humanity. I advise not to waste your money!

Don't use the applicator - Just squeeze the Goop onto the area and spread with Popsicle stick and replace the cap. Keep tube in cool dry place

The holder seems to be metal with a rubberized coating. The piece that holds the stick into the popsicle is silicone.

The top just snaps on. Push it down until it snaps together. Do this when it is cold. Use the "doors" at the top to empty the hot popcorn, or use an oven mitt to remove the top if the popcorn seems to jam.

It is most likely the fact that you don't let the ice balls "thaw" and stabilize for a few minutes at room temperature. This is critical. Otherwise the quick change in temperature will fracture the ice ball. Think of it as putting a cold non pyrex dish into a 500 degree oven. Should do the trick.
