How to use pewter ice-cream molds?
Janice L. Morley
20th century. These molds come in a variety of seasonal
shapes, such as a bust of George Washington (for Washington's
Birthday), a turkey (for Thankgsgiving), and so on.
The molds were used by professional ice cream/confectionery
companies to provide homes and restaurants with novelty
desserts. They're hinged in two or three places so that
the molded ice cream can be released.
My sister cannot seem to come up with a way of molding
ice cream into these molds so that the detail remains intact
when the ice cream is unmolded. She's tried spraying the
inside of the molds with Pam, lightly greasing the molds,
spraying them with water then freezing them before molding,
and wrapping the molds with warm towels before unmolding.
None of these techniques has been successful; she gets the
general shapes, but not the fine details (for example, the
turkey mold has a feather detail, and she's never been able
to get the feathers to come out right.
Can you help out with suggestions or techniques she might
try? She'd really like to start using these molds for their
intended purpose, but is stumped as to what else to try.
Thanks so much!
