Review on OCreme Silicone Chocolate Truffles Pralines Kitchen & Dining for Bakeware by Maya Rico

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good shape but the thickness of the cavities may vary

I received two of these in my order and it was interesting to note the difference in quality between them. Quickly cleaned the molds before use (love that I can throw things in the dishwasher instead of hand washing them) and I noticed that the cavities of one mold were noticeably more rigid/consisted of a thicker layer of silicone. I used the same chocolate in both molds. I was concerned that the thinner walled cavities wouldn't hold their shape well, but I had no problems. However, I have found that the thinner-walled shape has fewer problems with truffle inversion than the thicker-walled shape. I needed help to push the truffles through and broke half of my truffles into a thicker walled shape. The surviving truffles looked great and sold well at the bakery charity sale. I like that they are even and consistent and the shine of the shape is perfect. Overall, the thinner-walled pan was easy to use and made preparing the truffles a lot easier. I can use a thick-walled pan for things like frozen mousse or something less tender than truffles. Overall I'm still happy with my purchase.

Pros
  • Household and kitchen
Cons
  • Low repairability
