I can feel the warm weather already. Spring is really here. But regardless of what the weather will be popsicles, ice creams and other cold desserts are always a favorite for many. My family is not an exception to this. They love ice creams and popsicles at all times. Sometimes I used this to my advantage, every now and then I make popsicles to bribe them to do what I asked for. Always, I make it because I want to give treat to my children.
When I received the Space Pop Molds for popsicles I was very eager to try it. The molders are not like the ordinary popsicle molders we normally have in our kitchen. This one is designed and patterned to mold rockets and astronaut popsicles. The Space Pop Molder has 5 rocket mold compartments and one astronaut, 6 individual reusable sticks with grip guards. It is made of plastic materials but it is also BPA and Phthalates free, so you will not worry about using it.
I right away tried the Space Pop molder to see how it works. I made popsicles using Tropicana Orange Juice only. Followed the instructions, poured it directly to the rocket and astronaut molder and freeze it for at least six hours. I did not add any other ingredients to make it healthy for my children. My kids love it. They cannot wait for me to make again using other fruit juice this time. They like the design of the popsicles itself. It came out exactly as what the design said. It added more excitement for my kids while they are eating it. There is only one little conflict because both want to have the astronaut design first so we have to find ways for them to share the experience of eating it. Kids are always kids when it comes to what they want, how I wish I have two molder from the start.
Anyway, what I like about making my own popsicles is that, I can choose my own ingredients. I can control the amount of sugar that I can add if I want to. Unlike the ready-made popsicles from the store, we don’t know what ingredients the manufacturer added to it. Some of their ingredients may not be good for your family, especially your children. Some studies suggested that selected food coloring added to beverages and sweet foods like popsicles shows evidence that might lead to diseases, like cancer, although many manufacturers of the drinks included in the study tried to fight and negate the results. But other manufacturers tried to remove food colorings from their list of ingredients to be able to retain customers. If you are health conscious and have little time to spare, this popsicle molder is perfect for you.
In their website, Zokuhome.com, there are other products that they offer. They have other shapes and designs of pop molder to choose from. They also have ice cream makers, shake makers and many more kitchen kits that will make your dessert preparation easy. Should part of the molds is broken like the pop stick; they also have spare parts that you can buy separately.
Like all other products I recommended in the past, I will absolutely urge for you to buy this product. It is very easy to use and clean. It is very durable also. Since it is reusable, you don’t need to keep on buying new molders. This Space Pop molder is also a very nice gift for Easter if you do not know what to give to your family or friends. Go get your molder now.
