anyone ever made these before? I can't find little cups (plastic or paper like butter or ketchup come in) so I'm thinking of making them but I'm concerned -do I need to 'grease' the muffin tin so they come out easily. If so, will they taste 'greasy'? And how on earth do I serve them? I thought about putting them in my chilzanne bowl with tongs but won't they stick together?

Help!
 
I would suggest spraying with a pam-like spray first, just to be safe, the I would serve on simple additions pieces such as rectangular platters. I have 3 so it would be no problem for me, but I don't know what you own so I don't know what would work. Maybe you could covr the stackable cooling rack with parchment paper (to prevent from falling through the holes) and serve on there. Or you could go down the cake mix aisle and there should be mini muffin paper things to put in the mini muffin pan and just serve that way. Hope this helps. By the way, the small dixie cups should be with like the paper towels and bathroom supplies. I know it is at my wal-mart anyway.
 
We found the little cups!!!I just thought i would pass on that we found the little cups at a few different crafts stores (ie Michaels, Joannes and Hobby Lobby)
Or if those are not options you could try to find the mini cupcake papers, I know they sell some that are like like wax paper or even the foil ones.

hope that helps a little

Just a little note for those of you with a better social life than mine...

A fellow consultant told me you can make Jello Shots (alcoholic kind) in the Chillzanne platter. Just another use for the deviled eggs side. Pour in the liquid and supposedly they will mold up in the Chillzanne.

Let me know if anyone tries this and it works!
 
Jello shotsJust to let you know GFS (Gordon Food Service) has the small plastic cups that work perfect for jello shots, they also sell lids, so you can stack them in your refridgerator. I always use the small short ones. Paper liners will tend to stick to the jello.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent Jello shooters from sticking to the Mini Muffin Pan?

To prevent Jello shooters from sticking, it's essential to properly grease the Mini Muffin Pan. Use a non-stick cooking spray or lightly coat the pan with vegetable oil before pouring in the Jello mixture. This will create a barrier that helps the shooters release easily after they set.

Should I let the Jello cool before pouring it into the Mini Muffin Pan?

Yes, allowing the Jello mixture to cool slightly before pouring it into the Mini Muffin Pan can help reduce the chances of sticking. If the mixture is too hot, it may cause the pan's surface to become sticky. Let it cool to room temperature for best results.

Can I use silicone Mini Muffin Pans instead of metal ones?

Absolutely! Silicone Mini Muffin Pans are a great option for making Jello shooters as they are naturally non-stick. They allow for easy removal of the shooters without the need for additional greasing, making cleanup a breeze.

How long should I let the Jello set in the Mini Muffin Pan?

Typically, Jello shooters should set for at least 4 hours in the refrigerator. However, for best results, it's recommended to let them set overnight. This ensures they are fully firm and easier to remove from the pan without sticking.

What can I do if my Jello shooters still stick to the pan?

If your Jello shooters stick to the pan, try running a thin knife or a small spatula around the edges to loosen them. You can also place the pan in warm water for a few seconds to help release the shooters. Be gentle to avoid breaking them apart.
