(Sort of perfect considering I am a huge Jell-O lover myself.) I've been eager to use my vintage Jell-O molds that were a given to me by Jason's Grandmother some time ago. If your Jello is acting stubborn and seems too attached to the mold, try either carefully running a wet small knife (with warm water) around the top edge of the mold to loosen or filling a shallow pan or sink with warm water (but not hot!) and dipping the mold in just to the rim for 10 to 20 seconds to help loosen it up.It doesn't take much to win over my husband's heart a big bowl full of Jell-O topped with whipped cream will do. Once set, it should slide out of the inverted mold easily with a few gentle shakes side to side. When it is time to unmold your Jello, the most important thing is to make sure your gelatin has had sufficient time to chill (at least 2 hours in the refrigerator) and is completely set – it should be firm and not feel sticky or sag. But the internet is also a great resource for more variety, especially if you are looking for artfully shaped silicone molds or retro plastic molds. You should be able to find ring-shaped molds and individual-portion molds at your local cookware store. ![]() They work beautifully to make layered ring-molded gelatins too. You can also use metal round, tube or bundt cake pans. They come in a wide variety of shapes and are fun to search for on Esty or at yard sales, Goodwill, and antique shops. ![]() ![]() If you like vintage items, plastic molds are the way to go. Both lids help keep other savory smells from the refrigerator from slipping into your sweet Jello. It has a lid to cover the Jello as it sits and settles in the refrigerator, and it has a conveniently located tight-fitting lid on the top that makes it easy to unmold the gelatin as you flip it over. Yes, it’s true! See the green retro mold below? It is plastic, in the shape of a traditional Mexican large Jello. I even have one that comes from my mother-in-law’s kitchen, which was made in the 60’s especially for Jello. There are also large molds that can be used. See below all the choices I could gather for individual servings of Jello… Also, in a way, servings are pre-measured.īut if you want to be artistic with the shapes, aside from the flavors of your Jello creations, the newest molds are made of high-quality silicone and come in elaborate shapes. It is also great for kids because they can just eat the Jello right out the cup. It is simple, fast and you can see through all the colors and layers of your creations without having to unmold the Jello. I tend to make my Jellos in clear and simple plastic cups like the ones you’d see on street stands in Mexico. It’s important to make sure your molds are heat-tolerant to avoid warping when using hot liquids. They can vary from multiserving ring molds to individual portions in plastic cups or ramekins (even water glasses or anything you can pour a drink onto!), or in silicon shaped, like anything from pyramids to cartoon characters. Plastic, metal, ceramic, stoneware, porcelain, glass and silicone are all suitable materials for molding Jello. Jello molds or moldes para gelatina are as versatile as Jello desserts themselves. ![]()
