Tovolo Yellow Groovy Pop Molds
I’ve used several ice pop molds over the years, and up until now I thought Tupperware’s pop molds were by far the best. These Tovolo molds lack the ability to replace either the cap or the handle (they are one molded piece) but the plastic used in the cap/handle and the mold is easily the best I’ve ever seen for pop molds. It’s too early to predict how well these will actually hold up after dozens of freezings and thawings, but if the quality of materials is any indication, they should last a long, long time.
One month later:
While I still think these are overall the best pop molds I’ve ever used, I did discover one thing about them (the hard way, naturally): don’t drop them on anything hard (i.e., a tile floor) after they’ve been in the freezer for a day or more. The yellow caps/lids tend to get brittle after freezing, and they will crack and/or break. The opaque molds don’t appear to have this issue, although I don’t plan to intentionally test their break-resistance threshold. I glued mine back together with Barge Cement. It’s not pretty but it’s functional.

These molds work really well for their purposes.
The good:
- BPA free
- Cheap!
- Very sturdy
- Drip tray definitely helps
- Easy to clean and use
The bad:
- Really large sizes – may be too big for kids
- Popsicle stick to the mold somtimes

My kids love making these popsicles. The only thing I can say is that they are awful big for kids. My kids can never finish one of these because they are so large.

Glad these worked out for some people. They’re pretty much a waste for us. They are HUGE for small children–our boys can’t finish one, even in the hottest weather, so that’s good organic (i.e. expensive) juice down the drain. Because our freezer is apartment-sized, we cannot use the base that holds the mold because it takes up too much room, so I have to tuck the pops in wherever we can fit them. Which brings me to the last problem–the bases do *not* snap snugly onto the mold, so there are frequent spillovers in our freezer. I’ve used them two summers now, but I give up and am now looking for some classic Tupperware ones like we had growing up. They were the right size for children, the seal snapped good and tight, and they didn’t take up scads of space in the freezer.

These molds make nice big popsicles. We love making them with grape juice, very refreshing! I only stopped short of giving them 5 stars because I did have trouble getting a couple of the popsicles loose from mold, and I pulled stick out trying to do so. BUT the next time I just ran them under warm water to loosen them. I never run out of popsicles now, especially when the kids get sick and I can’t make it to the store.
