Do you spray jello molds? ›

Spray your mold: Make sure you spray your mold—no matter what type you use—with cooking spray before filling. This will make removing the gelatin easier. Take your time: Multi-layer molds take time to create. Each layer needs to set for about 45 minutes before adding the next.

Use less water if the gelatin is to be molded. For a four-serving size package, use 3/4 cup cold water. Some recipes include this adjustment.

Jello molds are collectables for some folks, but you actually don't need any special mold for molded desserts. You can use a Bundt pan, a loaf pan, or even a mixing bowl to set large molded desserts, or small cups, ramekins, or even espresso cups for individual servings.

Commercial-grade gummy molds arecoated with Teflon to add an inherent resistance to sticking. Before depositing the slurry into the molds to cool down and dry, the molds should be chilled and sprayed with a food-safe oil such as MCT or sunflower to add further slickness.

Generally, good old greasing is not really necessary with silicone molds. However, using cooking sprays or even greasing before baking and cooking can make your life a lot easier when it comes to washing them later on.

Silicone molds are nonstick but can become less nonstick over time. It is always better to be safe than sorry, so spray them with cooking before using them. It only takes a little cooking spray to make your silicone molds nonstick. This will help you avoid any sticking and make cleanup much easier.

NO! But to get the jelly out after setting quickly dip the mould into hot water - the very outsid eof the jelly melts very slightly and then you can turn over and out it'll pop! Metal works well as the heat transfers quickly - it is a quick dunk though.
