Versus Traditional Spring-Form Molds
Cold Molds are made from a siliconized rubber, which insulates
the ice cream, without conducting that cold to the hands of the
food handler. Cold Molds provide several advantages over
traditional spring form pans when used to make frozen dessert
cakes and novelties.
Durability
Spring pans become dented over time, and the spring lock
mechanism can loosen or even break off completely. Even if they
survive, the metal will oxidize as they age, leaving your pans
looking old and dirty. Cold Molds are virtually indestructible
with normal use. You can use the flexible mold time after time,
and it will bounce back into like-new condition after each use.
I have molds that I've used hundreds of times over five years,
and they still look nearly as good as new.
Metal Pans are Cold to Handle
Better have heavy gloves to protect your hands against freezer
burn, as the cold of your frozen products will be quickly
conducted through the metal pans. Working with thick gloves is
clumsy and time consuming.
Less storage space!
At our store, we have about 40 molds that are in nearly constant
use. When they're not in use, we store all of those molds in one
single wire basket, measuring approximately 15" wide X 18" deep
X 12" in height Try storing that many metal pans and you'll need
a long shelf, or plenty of wall space with hooks and hangers!
No Need to Refreeze!
To release ice cream from a metal spring pan, most people warm
the pan slightly, using either a warm towel, or a heat gun or
hair dryer. This melts a thin layer of ice cream, allowing the
mold to release. But when you've removed the pan, you'll need to
pop the ice cream blank back into the freezer to refreeze that
thin layer of melted product before you can frost it or dip it
in cover. With a Cold Mold, the flexible mold peels right off,
leaving a cold, clean, hard surface which you can immediately
ice, with no intermediate refreezing step. This saves you time,
which translates to money in saved labor costs.
Versus Silicon Bakeware
While you can find similar silicon rubber molds at some of the
big name national retailers, we think that you'll find that Cold
Molds are far superior for frozen dessert applications.
A Softer Siliconized Rubber
The "softness" of the Cold Molds products have been specially
refined over years of testing to produce the cleanest release of
frozen products. Cold Molds are designed specifically for frozen
dessert applications, by people who understand the peculiarities
of working with ice cream products, the others are not.
