ima 360811 Review by Jessica

Every other site I've ever seen this listed on do not refer to these as rice molds... because they're not. They're cups for holding small amounts of food (dried fruit or nuts come to mind, maybe a thicker pudding or even jell-o) and help keep things separated in your bento. I can't imagine trying to use these as rice molds. The flexible silicone would make it impossible for the rice to hold its shape. Rice molds are stiff plastic with a lid, unlike these silicone cups. I love mine, and I use them for their intended purpose. =)

Notice they're NOT listed as rice molds.

I just used these today and they work amazingly well. The rice comes out easily and the molds can be cleaned fairly quickly. The cute shapes are just what I need for my little one when he gets to eating solid food and are perfect for my bento box. They are sturdy and perfect for portion control.
You can use these for foods other than rice such as sweet potatoes, soft cheese, etc.

I really like the molds. My kids like the molds. It makes lunch prep fun and they feel like helping out. Granted, they are only 3 and 18 months, so that gives you a sense for how much they want to help.

The first couple of times I used the molds, the rice wouldn't come out easily. Then, I used less water when cooking the rice and now the rice comes out quite easily from the molds. The star shape still seems to stick, no matter what. So, we make fewer stars.

If you don't have luck at first, make dryer rice. You can also dust the inside of the molds with rice flour (or really, any kind of flour). Someone suggested I use a little oil on the inside of the molds, but I haven't tried that yet. Simply pulling out the lids of the molds doesn't get the rice out (when I tried). I find tapping the molds on a plate gets them out.

don't give up. It's really fun once you get the hang of it.
