Jello Molds in Stoneware - Ideas & Suggestions Needed

[ivykeep]

One of the consultants in my cluster had a customer ask her about doing jello molds in stoneware. Does anyone have any experience with this or tips and suggestions.

The only reason I can see that it might not work is that my plastic/metal jello molds allow you to dip the mold in hot water to release the jello and that isn't something you can do with stoneware (at least not as a quick dip).

Any ideas I can share?

You won't be able to unmold it easily, but you can use it for gelatin that's served in the stone (like "Pretzel Jello" - which is pretty much the Margarita Squares from one of the old cookbooks).

I have made jello for jello jigglers in the stoneware bar pan. A couple of times I think I lined it with parchment paper, to make it easier to get out. I made some last week for Easter and didn't use the parchment, but I used the classic mix n scraper to gently slide around the edges and underneath to loosen the jello. It worked great for me. Our creative cutters are great for making jello jigglers, and my kids love them!

Here's a thought...Just an idea..
I like using the silicone molds for jello, but they are rather big.
If you are going for the smaller size like creative cutter size; you can dip the large or small spreader in hot water and then slide under to remove. I don't think it would work for a ridged stoneware piece (fluted).

Pretty interesting. Would have never thought of jello in a stone.
