Popsicles are one of the ultimate summer treats, and one of the best things about them is that you can easily make them on your own. It all starts with buying popsicle molds that work for you, and they can be made with many different materials, but which one is the best?

Stainless Steel Molds

Stainless steel molds are not as easy to find as other models, but they’re worth looking for. If you want your popsicles to be done quickly, they’ll freeze them faster than all the alternatives. They’ll also last much longer than silicone or plastic molds, and that happens to be one of the reasons why they’re usually more expensive.

Plastic Molds

Unlike stainless steel molds, plastic ones are much cheaper and widely available, but that doesn’t necessarily make them great. You’ll sometimes have to rinse them under warm water to release popsicles, and some of them may be difficult to clean due to unusual shapes.

Silicone Molds

If you’re looking for popsicles molds that happen to be affordable and effective at the same time, the ones made from silicone are your best bet. Popsicles are pretty easy to release when you’re using these molds, but they won’t last for too long if you don’t take proper care of them.
