Chocolate Bar Molds

Chocolate bar molds can typically handle high temperatures, but it's important to check the temperature limits of your specific mold. Many molds can withstand heat up to around 450°F, which is fine for materials like melted sugar or resin.

However, always make sure to confirm the mold's heat resistance before using it with these high-temperature materials to avoid damage. Also, some FDA approved molds may work better with certain materials than others, so consider the silicone molds and plastic molds for best results.

Chocolate molds can sometimes hold strong smells, especially if they've been used with fragrant items like spices or oily foods. To prevent this, make sure to clean the molds well after each use.

You can wash them with a baking soda and water solution or simply put them in the dishwasher. This helps remove most odors. However, if a smell does stay, gently baking the mold at a low temperature can help get rid of it.

It's not a good idea to use the same chocolate bar mold for both food and non-food items like soap or resin. Even after washing, some tiny traces of chemicals or ingredients from non-food materials might stay on the mold.

These could end up in your food and make it unsafe to eat. To keep things safe, it's best to use separate chocolate molds just for food.

Silicone chocolate molds are quite durable and can last for many years if you take care of them. To keep them in good shape, avoid using sharp tools in them and wash them gently with a soft sponge. Store them flat or hang them up to prevent damage. With proper care, you can use them hundreds of times before any signs of wear, like tears or stickiness, show up.
