Plastic Brain Jello Mold

I’d never used a jello mold before, but it was easy, following the directions posted by another reviewer. (The mold does NOT come with directions.) I ended up making two, though. I started with cherry jello on the first one, but it was too red, so the food coloring turned it the perfect shade - if I wanted it to look like raw liver. Second time around, I started with strawberry, and it came out the right shade of pinkish-gray. Garnished with strawberries “rotted” with cocoa powder and spiders made of grapes and raisins. Big hit at our Halloween potluck!

The mold is a full brain shape, big enough to fit on my own small-ish head. It seems to be of good quality made of a thick plastic with nice detailing. This mold is definitely not for use in any kind of heating application. I would say it would work well for latex, chocolate, and of course jello. After testing out the mold....it works well, the jello releases well after you break the seal(use your finger to gently pull the jello away from one edge) Mine had a defect, it leaked a bit of jello but i solved this by setting the mold into a pan of really cold water to set the layer closest to the mold really quickly, it worked great.

This brain mold works wonderfully! I bought this for a neuroscience class I was teaching, and it was a huge hit. You do have to tinker with colors, but it really ends up looking exactly like a brain. The directions were great, and I have had no trouble getting the brain out of the mold because the directions advise to coat it with cooking spray. It sloshes right out, gross and slimey. The mold is not good quality. It is made of very thin plastic and mine cracked the first time I used it. Nonetheless, it still works to make really creepy slimey brains that kids love!

The mold worked out perfectly! I am faculty in a nursing program. Our College had a contest; "How will your department survive the Zombie apocalypse?" We won!

Creepy and fun for Halloween! I really enjoyed using this mold for Halloween! I made a creepy jelly brain, and it came out looking awesome and tasted delicious 😋 Everyone loved it perfect for spooky parties or Halloween desserts!

I purchased this to make a jello "brain" for our Halloween dinner, thinking I would be able to use it for years to come. I was dismayed that the plastic was a very thin material - think thin plastic cup. I washed this with a sponge with no other dishes in the sink and by the time I was finished there were already stress marks on the plastic. I would compare it to squishing a plastic cup and when it pops it back out there are white stress marks on the cup. The difference is, I didn't squish the mold at all; just washed it and ended up with the same results. I decided to use it anyway and hope that everything would go as planned. I made the jello, poured it in, and then realized that the mold couldn't sit by itself. I rigged it to sit on a plate with some cans supporting the mold so it didn't tip over. 30 minutes later I checked the jello to make sure it was setting up right. It was at that point that I realized that some of the "stress marks" had turned into cracks, which allowed the jello to leak out. I lost about 1/4 of the jello before it set up enough to stop leaking out. The jell mold came with a drink package and gummy worms, (a surprise to me). I didn't intend to use them but wouldn't have been able to if I had. The gummy worms were all melted into one solid piece of gummy. I purchased this in October and live in Montana. There is no reason on my end that this should have arrived melted. I'm highly disappointed with this product. It is certainly not worth the $13 I paid for it and will never be able to be used again.

The mold itself actually stood up better than what other reviews said. But the first thing I noticed when I took out of the package were all the hard nubby plastic things on the mold that I was guessing would misshape the brain. Whatever. But what I didn’t realize was that it was going to make the whole mold leak. I am so glad that I put it inside of a bowl while the Jell-O set because the brain mold did in fact LEAK. For clarification- From the bottom, not from spillage over the top. Not a good indication of quality of it can’t hold up to its first use. I used three packets of Jell-O, and it did not fill the mold up all the way to the top. Almost, but not all the way. I’d say 6 cups. So I ended up with a smaller brain due to the leaking. I am exchanging for another one because I still think it’s a fantastic idea. It’s still a cute and spooky little tool that makes for a great edible decor! I am hoping that my replacement is a home run and I can then adjust my rating. :) If you’re curious about my photos, I used peach Jell-O with carnation milk. And after it was set and cold, I poured a small bit of liquid room temp strawberry Jell-O over the top right before serving. Looked great! But not gonna lie, it was NOT very tasty. I’ve never had peach Jell-O, but I really wanted to get the right brain color. maybe I muddled the taste too much with the carnation milk… I don’t know. 🤷‍♀️ Just thought I’d mention it in case anyone was curious. Also, like others suggested: *Pam spray in the mold before hand *Run warm water around the mold or dip bottom half in a bowl of warm water, just slightly! Do this right before you get it out of the mold to make it slide out easier and in one piece.

It’s a mold. Not much I can say. It’s held up well. I personally use it to add layers of latex for brain skull caps for Halloween and cosplay. Works as intended and solid build quality.

Disgusting! Exactly what my granddaughter wanted it to be. Fair price, quick delivery.

Pour l'halloween j'ai fait une mousse aux crevettes et j'ai gagné le prix du plat le plus épeurant!

Ich habe mir diese Form geholt, um einen Gehirnpudding zu machen. Dabei habe ich mit Lebensmittelfarbe eingefärbten heißen Pudding in die Form gefüllt. Da die Form leicht Rund ist, sollte man sie in eine Schüssel stellen, damit sie nicht umkippt bis der Pudding ausgehärtet ist. Der Pudding ging sehr gut aus der Form raus, ohne kleben zu bleiben. Das sauber machen ist wegen den kleinen Ecken etwas schwieriger, das dauert je nach dem etwas länger, wenn man jede Ecke sauber haben möchte, mit etwas einweichen lassen geht es aber auch schnell sauber zu machen. Für Halloween war der Pudding ein super Blickfang und blieb auch bis etwa die Hälfte aufgegessen wurde noch in Form. Die Form ist im Allgemeinen eher fest und hart und somit bessere Qualität. Sie wabbelt nicht beim Einfüllen und ist auch nicht eindrückbar, wodurch sie sehr stabil ist.

Très pratique

Good product can’t wait to use it thank you
